Troy Ave is apparently upset after the NYPD shut down an event intended to celebrate both his latest album — More Money More Problems — and 33rd birthday. In an Instagram video posted on Sunday (November 25), the Brooklyn-bred rapper blasted the NYPD for preventing him from performing in his hometown.
“NYPD SHUT DOWN MY NEW YORK CITY HIGHLINE BALLROOM PERFORMANCE AGAIN,” he wrote in all caps. “IM SORRY YALL! ITA OUTTA MY CONTROL IM TRYNA EVERYTHING TO SHOW UP 4 YALL! AND THIS WHY I SAY THE STREETS IS A MYTH, I CANT CALL NOT 1 TRIPLE OG OF NOTHING IN THA HOOD TO USE THEY ‘JUICE’ or STREET CRED TO OVERRIDE THIS ISSUE!”
He also threatened to sue.
“ION KNOW WHAT TO DO!” he continued. “MAYBE ILL SUE NYC TAKE SOME OF THE [money] BUY A CLUB IN NEW JERSEY AND CHARTER BUS EVERYBODY IN FOR A FREE SHOW! SELF DEFENSE SHOULDN’T MAKE YOU A CRIMINIAL.”
In the video clip, Troy became increasingly agitated as he talked about the incident.
“Troy Ave is prohibited from coming to the spot,” he said. “We don’t want him performing there. He attracts a violent crowd … first of all, you see the news and how they put out something crazy. They make it look like I was shooting up the club. That’s not the issue. I got attacked in a club by a hater!”
He went on to say that “hater” cost him $3 million, three months in jail and now, he could potentially spend 40 years behind bars in connection to the infamous Irving Plaza shooting.
Troy was arrested in May 2016 at a New York City hospital after he reportedly opened fire and accidentally shot himself during the melee. Three people were injured and Troy’s bodyguard, Ronald “Banga” McPhatter, was killed.[apple_news_ad type=”any”]

Free tax
I’m a big Troy Ave fan – Said no-one, anywhere, ever.
FOH RAT BOY
This dude is always crying victim about something. You’re wack and the NYPD did you a favor and saved you from the disappointment of nobody showing up,
Tax Stone was just trying to protect the culture , He wasnt trolling an up and coming rapper from his borough to promote his podcast naaah he was just trying to keep hip hop REAL, He wants real gun busters in hip hop like Bobby Shmurda and Tekashi coz they really busting they guns and pulling robberies. Yeah Tax is a real smart OG looking out for his borough and the hip hop culture. Like how Nas did all the crime he raps about real shit.
That wasn’t it. Tax said he felt like troy was a bully because he got his “goons” to jump ilovemakkonen for some odd reason. Also, tax questioned troy ave’s authenticity and allegedly things went overboard from there… #freetax
Oh Ok thats what it was, Tax was riding for ilovemakonnen . Fuck outta here. He deserve to be in the box he’s in. Authenticity lol thats laughable shit.
