Chikezie Has Major Baggage in Past

Chikezie didn't score with Simon last night, but he was a big hit at Terminal 4 at LAX.

We've turned up pictures of Chikizzle when he was working at the Transportation Security Administration at the Los Angeles International Airport, where he was a baggage screener.

Chikizzle was a member of the TSA Choir, which performed at TSA functions (who knew!). Turns out the manager at Terminal 4 was an even bigger star than Chikizzle. The manager played backup keyboard for Santana in the 60's.

Here's what worries us. Chikizzle had an iPizzle in his ear while he screened luggage for bombs, but everyone says he was a great employee.

6. What's wrong with you TMZ. So the guy worked at an airport... so what? Why are you trying to make something out of nothing? What??? You have no new dirty to dig up about Britney or Paris or whoever is the favor of the month? Shame on you TMZ for trying to stir up something when it's not necessary.

7. My best friend worked for TSA at the Philly airport. At least Chucky Cheesie had a decent job and worked for a living. I like him, and he has a great voice.

13. We're playing those mind games together,

Pushing barriers, planting seeds,

Playing the mind guerilla,

Chanting the Mantra peace on earth,

We all been playing mind games forever,

Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil.

Doing the mind guerilla,

Some call it the search for the grail,

Love is the answer and you know that for sure,





Love is flower you got to let it, you got to let it grow,

So keep on playing those mind games together,


Faith in the future outta the now,


You just can't beat on those mind guerillas,


Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind,






Yeah we're playing those mind games forever,


Projecting our images in space and in time,



Yes is the answer and you know that for sure,


Yes is the surrender you got to let it, you got to let it go,



So keep on playing those mind games together,








Doing the ritual dance inn the sun,



Millions of mind guerrillas,





Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel,








Keep on playing those mind games forever,









Raising the spirit of peace and love, not war,






(I want you to make love, not war, I know you've heard it before)
