World's Biggest "Famous Dex" Fan Tried To Steal A Plane From The Arkansas Airport To Fly To His Concert In Chicago
We found him, and we didn’t even know we were looking for him: the biggest Famous Dex fan on the planet.
(NEWSER) – An Arkansas teen has pleaded guilty to trying to steal a commercial plane so he could fly to Chicago to attend a rap concert, the AP reports. Per the Texarkana Gazette, Zemarcuis Scott of Texarkana pleaded guilty Thursday to attempted theft of property and commercial burglary and was sentenced to five years of probation. Authorities have said Scott, who is being variously reported as 18 or 19 years old, was found inside the cockpit of an American Eagle jet at Texarkana Regional Airport and that he had hoped to fly to an out-of-state concert to see rapper Famous Dex.
…Scott allegedly told a psychologist he met with that he’d been mulling over the plane theft idea for a month or so, and that he’d kept his eye on the plane from the other side of the fence for hours before making his move in the early morning hours of Independence Day.
I don’t know Famous Dex so I pulled a “how do you do fellow kids” with the cool 20 year olds over at the social media table and they recommended this song:
I dig it. Also this one with A$AP:
Which, as I’m writing this, I’m thinking, if you checked Zemarcuis’s checking account right now, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a nice little lump sum payment from Famous Dex. Zemarcuis’s news story made me hear about Famous Dex. It made me stream his songs on Spotify and play his videos on YouTube. It made me link to those things in my blog on the 15-35-year-old-demo-dominating Barstool Sports. Now you’re all reading about Famous Dex, engaging with his content, and possibly sharing it on your social media accounts.
Famous Dex just got the biggest “unintentional (wink wink)” PR boost in recent internet memory.
And, as for the attempted airplane robbery, I gotta say, as an experienced pilot myself, Zemarcuis was pretty insulting:
Scott has no training as a pilot. Police have said he told investigators he thought piloting the plane would involve little more than pushing buttons and pulling levers.
I did not go to pilot school and withhold my medications from the FAA for that bullshit.
