CORY GUNZ APOLOGIZES TO FANS ON GETTING ARRESTED FOR GUN POSSESSION.

Rapper CORY GUNZ has apologised to his fans for letting them down following his weekend arrest for gun possession. The 6 Foot 7 Foot star, real name Peter Pankey, Jr., was taken into custody by police in New York on Saturday (28Jan12) after allegedly finding a loaded pistol in his backpack.

He was held overnight and logged on to his Twitter.com account upon his release on Sunday (29Jan12) to express his regret at his behaviour.

He tweeted, "I apologize to all of my Supporters, Friends and Family. Things Happen, No excuses. My only regret is letting ya’ll (sic) down… Peace". Gunz is facing up to three-and-a-half years behind bars if convicted for illegal possession of a loaded weapon. Too late for KJ who has given up and says he's not interested in Gunz music anymore and besides "his logo still has pistols in them." What can I say? These rappers will not learn. SMH.

RAPPER JA RULE STARTS JAIL SENTENCE FOR GUN CHARGES.

Ja Rule began a two-year prison sentence Wednesday on gun charges, becoming the latest in a long line of rappers to get in trouble for firearms possession. Ja Rule, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, pleaded guilty in December to attempted criminal possession of an unregistered, .40 caliber handgun and was sentenced to two years behind bars and 18 months of supervised release.The rapper was caught with the pistol in his sports car after a 2007 concert in Manhattan.

He had been performing alongside rapper Lil Wayne, who was also charged with gun possession in a separate arrest and spent much of 2010 in prison."Carrying an illegal gun in New York City puts the safety of all New Yorkers at risk," said District Attorney Cyrus Vance."Whether you are a Grammy-nominated musician or a teenager carrying a gun for a friend, justice is blind. This sentence should put all illegal gun owners in New York on notice."A more severe punishment could have been expected had Ja Rule gone to trial and been convicted.

DA BRAT HOME ON HOUSE ARREST TO COMPLETE SENTENCE.

Shaunte Harris (Rapper Da Brat) is like a daughter to me. Above is our appearance together on BET's Teen Summit as I was the expert and she was the musical guest in 1996.

Da Brat is now on house arrest, the last leg of her three-year bid for assaulting a woman inside of anAtlanta nightclub. Talking withBillboard.com, she said she “feels great,” and is happy to have the opportunity to do things like “sleep on a regular bed,” and access the Internet. “I’m still on house arrest, but I can do everything I need to do inside the house,” said Da Brat. “I get to sleep on a regular bed. I get to eat regular food. I get access to my computer to see what’s going on in the world, because in there I didn’t have access to a computer. I’m just grateful to be out. I’ve been feeling great since I got out.”

Not wanting to waste any time, Brat said that fans can expect her on popular social networking sites very soon, in fact, she hopes to create a Twitter account by the end of the week. As far as future project are concerned, she started on her autobiography, which will be titled Insubordination, and plans on heading back into the studio to work with Jermaine Dupri. “I haven’t recorded in like two and a half years, so I don’t know what it’s gonna sound like. I’m going to do a mixtape first, or whatever JD thinks,” she added.

RAPPER PETEY PABLO GOT NEXT WITH GUN CHARGES!

Rapper Petey Pablo was arrested on Saturday, September 11, after trying to get a gun through airport security. The rapper, also known by his legal name, Moses Barrett II, was arrested at Raleigh-Durham International Airport. He allegedly had a gun in his carry-on bag.

Charges against the rapper include carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm by a felon, and possession of a stolen firearm. He was on the way to LA for the VMA’s when airport security found a Smith & Wesson 639 in Pablo’s carry-on luggage. Petey Pablo’s Real Life “Get Me Out of Jail” Experience:Petey Pablo is already out of jail on a $50,000 bond. He is due in court in North Carolina on Monday.So, how much sense does it make to carry a gun through an airport these days? Especially if you are a felon and the weapon is stolen?

To top it all off, Pablo tried to get through the airport with the gun on the anniversary of 9/11, when security is always heightened. Smart.Seems like Petey Pablo was almost begging to be arrested.

On Thursday U.S. District Judge Charles Pannel Jr., ordered to appear before a federal judge in Atlanta and explain why his probation should not be revoked because of his recent arrest in Los Angeles. Pannell did not set a date for the hearing.

The order lists three possible violations of his bond: possession of ecstasy on Sept. 1, testing positive for opiates on Sept. 2 and associating on Sept. 1 with Cortez Thomas, a convicted felon.

Several pills that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department called a "controlled substance" were found on Grammy award-winning rapper and his new wife after they were stopped Sept. 1 on a Hollywood street after making an illegal U-turn.

It is reported that the pills were found on T.I. and his new wife, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, and not in the Maybach, the luxury car they were in.

SFTC: THE LATEST: EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT LLOYD BANK'S ARREST IN BRANTFORD, ON.

Rapper Lloyd Banks (real name: Christopher Lloyd) performed at Club NV in Brantford, Ontario, on Friday. A dispute later ensued at a local hotel over his fee. All four men were charged with forceful confinement, aggravated assault and robbery. They made a video court appearance on Sunday afternoon and were due to reappear in early this week.

G-Unit...Can 50 tell them that WE DON'T PLAY with violent prone US rappers here? Kitchener area of all places. Remember we're NOT down with the "Dipset."

Banks is currently being transferred to the Maple Hurst Correctional Complex, where he will be held in protective custody until his ultimate release even though he has $50,000 bail for the one of the charges. Maple Hurst is Canada's BAD prison. All the niggas are over there with the worst shooting records in Canada. Mmmm...

Problem is that he can forget coming back to tour here. G-Unit is doomed in my opinion because of this shyt. Do you know what 50 had to do to get back in? I say get you one of those good Toronto Criminal lawyers like Marie Henein (above). She da she da BEST! Switch attorneys NOW!

BREAKING NEWS: RAPPER SHYNE IS STILL DETAINED BY AUTHORITIES!!!

Photo: AP

A Late Tuesday report from MTV News says that the Combs protégé remains in custody at an "unspecified facility in Western New York State," while U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement decides his fate.

The Web site of the New York State Department of Corrections seemed to indicate that Shyne was released from Woodbourne Correctional Facility on Oct. 6, 2009 and was on parole but his release was subject to immigration review. Convicted felons not US citizens are usually deported. His father is Prime Minister of Belize. He is now in a diplomatic mess.

OH NO! C-MURDER TAKEN TO JAIL FOR ALLEGEDLY VIOLATING TERMS OF HIS HOUSE ARREST?

Corey "C-Murder" Miller was taken into custody on Monday (March 9) afternoon after reportedly violating the terms of his house arrest.

According to reports of the incident, Miller was taken to jail after he was found to be out of range of his house arrest tracking device.

Deputy Chief Chuck Whitmer of the Gretna Police Department says the monitor indicated Miller was out of range for about 10 minutes early Monday morning, says The Advertiser.

Miller's attorney, however, says that the rapper was at home sleeping when he received the call advising him he was out of range.

He was later arrested after police found him and booked into the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center. He will appear before a judge on Wednesday (March 11).

Just last week, a judge ruled in Miller's favor against claims that he had previously violated his house arrest.

The judge declared the times Miller allegedly strayed were "odd."

"I've never heard of this in any other case, and I don't know what to make of it," Judge Hans Liljeberg said. "I'm not 100 percent convinced" that the monitoring device worked properly.

There is some conspiracy somewhere especially when these Judges are speaking. This is ridiculous. I interviewed him last year and due to the YouTube disability, you can view it at my Daily motion account below.

WHY DID POLICE TAKE 3 WHOLE MONTHS TO ARREST MOS DEF?

LATEST: Las Vegas authorities have defended the issue of a warrant for the arrest of rapper/actor MOS DEF three months after an alleged attack - insisting they needed time to fully investigate the case before questioning the star. Two warrants were issued for the star, real name Dante Smith, on Tuesday (04Nov08) in connection to a clash with a fashion photographer in August (08). Mos Def faces charges of felony robbery and malicious destruction of private property after photographer Volker Corell claimed the rap star ripped a camera from his neck, smashed it to the ground and then took off with it.

But local police have been under pressure to justify the long delay. Public Information Officer Ramon Denby explains, "The initial report was taken by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitor's Authority. By the time we arrived, the property, which in this case was a Nikon camera, had been returned. Detectives then took statements from witnesses and spoke to the victim and proceeded to gather the necessary evidence to turn the case over to the District Attorney's office.

"We have to have a certain amount of evidence to present a case to the D.A.'s office, who then makes the determination to move forward. "This was just a standard investigating time." Mos Def is currently touring in Europe and authorities are awaiting his lawyers getting in touch to organise a self surrender upon his return, reports AllHipHop.com.

DMX GETTING AN ARREST THE SIXTH TIME?

Troubled rapper DMX is facing his sixth arrest in 2008 after failing to attend a court hearing in Phoenix, Arizona on Tuesday.
