LOS ANGELES -- Just an hour before he would take the stage at the Key Club here Tuesday, Wu-Tang Clan member Ol' Dirty Bastard claimed that he had no idea that a warrant for his arrest had been ordered earlier that day. But he sure had a lot to say about it. Standing in a hallway backstage and wearing the blue athletic outfit in which he'd later perform, the 29-year-old rapper mouthed off with a string of expletives as he expressed shock over the warrant, which was issued Wednesday morning (July 29) after he failed to appear a day earlier in a Virginia Beach, Va., courtroom to answer a shoplifting charge. "What do they think they're doing? Where did you get that idea?" ODB said. He added angrily, "Those m-----f------ people in Virginia. What are they m-----f------ thinking?"
