Cory Gunz Arrested With Gun; Father Says Rapper Profiled

(AllHipHop News) Bronx, New York rapper Cory Gunz was arrested yesterday (January 28), after police found him in possession of a loaded handgun.

Police caught the rapper with a loaded, unregistered Taurus .9mm handgun.

Cory Gunz, born Peter Pankey Jr., is currently in custody in the Bronx.

His father, rapper Peter Gunz, told MTV News that his son was the victim of an illegal search.

“It was definitely an illegal search,” Peter Gunz told MTV News.

Peter Gunz further elaborated on his 24-year-old son’s arrest.

The rapper was exiting a cab when plain clothes officers aggressively approached him.

“He just got out of a cab and police ran up on him and they were in plainclothes,” Peter Gunz told the New York Daily News. “He didn’t know they were cops – he thought he was getting robbed.”

Peter Gunz said his son was currently in Central Booking, where he is being processed.

Although its his first offense, Corey’s father is worried that New York’s strict anti-gun laws will have an adverse affect on his son’s career.

The same laws sent Lil Wayne, the CEO of Young Money, Cory’s label, to jail for eight months in 2010.

“At the end of the day, there’s a reason for everything, but at the same time, in New York, it’s mandatory jail time,” Peter Gunz told MTV News. “To go to a precinct and see your son, your junior, in handcuffs, it’s heartbreaking. Anytime you see your child in jail, in the cell, in handcuffs, it’s very hard.”

Even though its his first offense, Cory Gunz faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 3 and 1/2 years in prison.

It was some trippy sh*t. Lace the F*CK up.”

Machine Gun Kelly Preps New Single; No More Mixtapes Until Album Release

(AllHipHop News) Cleveland rapper Machine Gun Kelly is planning the follow up release to his hit single “Wild Boys.”

His next single will be titled “Rain” and will be a conceptual record, according to MGK.

“Its a deep song, It’s the opposite of ‘Wild Boys,’ very revolutionary,” Machine Gun Kelly told AllHipHop.com. “It’s a rebellion type of message so its kind of one of those joints like, it gives you three minutes to free yourself.”

According to MGK, “Rain” is a precursor to his first official album for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Bad Boy imprint, which has signed the rapper to a two album deal.

“They gave me full creative control, I have control over everything in my project and it’s worked out for me well,” MGK told AllHipHop.com. “They let me grind, they didn’t hand me s**t. But Puff is like a big brother to me.”

Machine Gun Kelly also revealed that he will not release any more mixtapes until his debut release Lace Up for Bad Boy.

“I didn’t come here to the industry to make friends I came to make a change,” MGK said. “I am friends with the people who were with me when I was a nobody.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Was Cory Gunz Arrested for Packing Heat???!!!

YMCMB’s Cory Gunz was arrested in the Bronx, NY yesterday for possession of a loaded firearm. Cory’s father Peter Gunz confirmed the news with MTV today. Check out what he had to say below:

“The details are still sketchy, but I can confirm that he was arrested with a firearm yesterday in the Bronx. They caught him around 2p.m. in the afternoon with a loaded gun in his knapsack. It was definitely an illegal search.

I spoke to the arresting officer, and so far, what I’m hearing from him is that they got a phone call at the station saying they should ‘look out”. According to [the officer], they didn’t know he was Cory Gunz. They just saw a bunch of kids following him around. What I will say is that the officer that arrested Cory, actually happened to be a cool dude. After arresting Cory, sitting down with him and talking, he felt bad about the situation.

At the end of the day, there’s a reason for everything, but at the same time, in New York, it’s mandatory jail time. To go to a precinct and see your son, your junior, in handcuffs, it’s heartbreaking. Anytime you see your child in jail, in the cell, in handcuffs, it’s very hard. He’s walked down some of the same paths that I walked down, but you never want to see your kids go through what you went through. This is Cory’s first offense, but sometimes they like to make an example out of rappers and people with any kind of celebrity to them.”
