Chikezie Has Major Baggage in Past

Posted Mar 5th 2008 2:45PM by TMZ Staff

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.

19. Incredibly lame, TMZ. Way to try to make it look like the guy was doing something wrong with your silly post title, when he was just making a living. Shame on you.

24. I guess the Retirement Benefits arent too good with the Santana Corporation and when you should be retiring you have to go get a job going through peoples underwear and such.

I heard Carlos recently got divorced from the woman who saved him years ago with his drug and sex addictions. I know of a 14 year old girl he tried to hit up on here in the Midwest some years back. Terrible, Shameful Man who parades through life preaching Peace and Understanding. He was raped as a child in Tijuana. Sorry to hear he had an eye for young girls.

Now go home and get your shinebox Carlos

27. Chikezie seems to have a very nice personality, and pleasing manner. And he also had a good job and worked hard for a living.
Hopefully he will get a break to make it in the music industry as he does have a good voice.

All of you at TMZ, who are losers and need to try to find a celeb, or a celeb in the making and try to find them in a compromising situation or you try to tear them down. Have seen a few episodes of TMZ on TV and you have the ugliest employees on the face of the earth. No wonder you all try to stay behind the camera, as you all cannot speak well and are butt ugly

28. You have to SEE NOT HEAR TMZ! My brother used to do the same thing. I mean sure he shouldn't have an ipod on while working but he doesn't need to hear to do it!

29. So???????????? at least he had a job.. and isn't some low life paparazzi.

30. I used to wok at terminal 4 at lax, and Managers don't wear TSA uniforms or screen luggage or for that matter allowed to have any type of ear phones!
