Rap News Rundown: Lil Durk, Yung Berg, Freddie Gibbs, Chris Brown, Drake
Lil Durk Arrested; Charged With Unlawful Possession of a Weapon
Last week, Lil Durk was arrested by Chicago police and charged with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. According to reports, police entered the residence in connection with an unrelated homicide investigation and found two loaded .45-caliber handguns on a kitchen island near where Durk was standing. He allegedly told police, “I got those pipes ’cause (expletive) always be tryin’ to take my bands.”
The presiding judge in the case determined that the Chi-town rapper violated the terms of his probation. At Lil Durk’s initial hearing, his attorney pointed out there were several other people in the house at the time.
Yung Berg Arrested for Assaulting Girlfriend; Dropped From L&HH
Yung Berg was arrested last week in NYC for assaulting girlfriend Masika Tucker. In the criminal complaint, Tucker accuses the onetime rapper of hitting her, dragging her by her hair, pinning her against a wall and grabbing her by her throat. He is charged with three counts of assault and one count of harassment.
According to reports, the violent altercation was preceded by Berg’s credit card getting declined at a restaurant. Tucker stayed behind to pay the bill, and the two got into an argument when she returned to the hotel. This isn’t the first news that the songwriter may be having money problems. A recent report revealed that he owes more than $86,000 in child support.
VH1 fired Berg from Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood.
Freddie Gibbs Shot At Following Brooklyn Performance
An unidentified gunman shot up a vehicle carrying rapper Freddie Gibbs and his entourage following his performance inside Brooklyn record store Rough Trade. The rapper was able to run back inside the store unscathed. However, two of the people in his crew suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The motive behind the shooting is unclear. Video footage shows the assailant had attended Gibbs’ performance and at one point was even standing next to him. But Gibbs told authorities he did not recognize the suspect.
Chris Brown Lashes Out At Talk Show Hosts
Chris Brown attacked The Real co-hosts Tamar Braxton and Adrienne Bailon on Instagram after the two made some comments about Brown’s relationship with Karrueche Tran. Brown referred to Tamar as “the ugly sister” and questioned Adrienne’s right to talk about anyone else’s relationship considering her rumored link to married men. “[You] can’t talk about relationship goals when [you] don’t even have life goals,” ranted the singer in a post that has since been deleted.
Tamar responded via Instagram. “I will not tolerate your disrespect when no one was coming for you,” said the singer in a lengthy post.
Drake & Tyga Tangle On Twitter & Instagram
Drake and Tyga’s growing beef was played out over social media. After the Cali-bred rapper posted a picture of himself and rumored girlfriend Kylie Jenner in their Halloween costumes, Drake posted one of how own pictures of Jenner, taken at the filming of PARTYNEXTDOOR’s video for “Recognize.” Adding fuel to the fire, Tyga’s ex-girlfriend Blac Chyna began liking various photos on Drizzy’s Instragram and even tagged Drake in her own picture with the caption, “Miss me… #neverforget”.
Shortly thereafter, a number of tweets appeared on Chyna’s timeline that she has since accused Tyga of posting, one of which read, “I’m a gold digger [and] a cheater. I never really loved Tyga. It was always about the money.”
