Rapper Petey Pablo has been sentenced to spend 35 months in federal prison after trying to take a loaded, stolen handgun through a NC airport last year.

Pablo — famous for hits like "Freak-A-Leek" and "Raise Up",  had pleaded guilty to possessing a stolen firearm in a North Carolina courtroom.

Officials found the loaded weapon in Pablo's bag when it went through an X-ray machine at the security checkpoint. An investigation revealed the gun was stolen in a home burglary in Gardena, CA back in 2005.

No word on when Pablo is set to begin his sentence.
