An Arkansas trial has been delayed for a Tennessee rapper and his bodyguard, who face federal weapons charges.

The scheduled Monday trial of Ricky Hampton, who performs as Finese2Tymes, and bodyguard Kentrell Gwynn, both of Memphis, was postponed on Friday until March 19.

Both have pleaded not guilty.

The two were arrested in Alabama on July 2, a day after a shooting at a Little Rock nightclub during a performance by Hampton.

Gwynn has pleaded not guilty to state charges of aggravated assault in the Little Rock shooting.
