Singer/songwriter Faith Evans has been arrested after being stopped at a drink-driving checkpoint in the Los Angeles area on Saturday night (August 21). The 37-year-old Grammy Award-winner was held for a few hours and then released on bail on Sunday morning.
She wrote this message on her twitter shortly after her release:
Hi Faithfuls…I am on the set of my new video for my single “Gone Already”. I’m sure by now most of you heard that I was detained on suspicion of DUI. After completing a full day of wardrobe prep I was stopped at a random checkpoint. I’m fine and well, and thank you for your prayers, kind words and concerns. I can’t wait for you all to see my new video & look forward to hearing from u guys…Fizzy

Oh that stands for Faith. LMFAO.

Faith while I have always loved your music and was so excited to hear new music from you ( I love “The Way You Move) I don’t want you to come back if you have a problem. You will lose fans and tarnish your own image coming back on the scene as another Bobby Brown.
Please get help and get clean. I want to see you succeed and use that powerful gift God gave you. If not for fans, do it for your children.
what did she say in her statement that we didnt already know…were u or weren’t u perkin comin from the lil shoot?? Gurl bye, i aint had no respect for her since the ish wit Pac, snortin and spendin up BIG dough!! SMDH
LoL @ 1…. If you’re caught drunk driving then you deserve to be arrested. Call a cab. You can afford to go out to drink, so make sure you have a way home.
As far as Faith goes, she has a problem, period. No one has in her place HAS to drive anywhere is they are too tired (DRUNK) to drive themselves.
*who’s in her place
Cici and LaLa and those other dweebs with unnecessary reality show. THIS is the reality show to watch. Her come back and hopefully come up.
