The performer failed to show up for his arraignment today in Cleveland on a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon.
The 27-year-old from Atlanta is accused of trying to take a loaded gun on a Delta Air Lines flight Sunday.
The performer, whose real name is Jasiel Robinson, was arrested at a standard security checkpoint at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.
Police found a semiautomatic handgun and ammunition in his carryon bag. He told police he didn't know the weapon was there and was released the next day on $50,000 bond.
Today the judge doubled Robinson's bail.
His attorney was apologetic, and said Robinson is out of town on personal and family business.
Yung Joc was one of last year's biggest hip-hop stars, selling a million copies of his debut album "New Joc City," behind the Grammy-nominated song "It's Goin' Down." His follow-up album "Hustlenomic$" was released in August.

And they wonder why people always got something negative to say about rappers and hip hop artists. Why in hayle would you try and carry a gun on an airplane? It's 2007, six years after 9-11. If Snoop and Katt Williams couldn't get away with it, why would he think he could? Just.......Lawd. And now, he's a fugitve. Yeah, he's getting smarter by the second.
