Chicago rapper Lil Zay Osama has found himself behind bars, once again, after a high-speed chase outside of Chicago, IL.
According to arrest records obtained by HipHopDX, the “Fuck My Cousin” rapper (real name Isaiah Dukes) has been charged with possession of a loaded machine gun, theft of stolen goods exceeding $10,000 but not more than $100,000, and possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number.

Fox 32 Chicago is reporting that the alleged incident happened on Wednesday (December 13). According to the outlet, Lil Zay Osama was with two friends — Jeremiah Dawson, 21, and Travon Garland, 19 — in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook when they were spotted by the police.
Police received information about “a vehicle connected to a man who is suspected to be part of an investigation into an armed robbery at a jewelry store in New York.”

While it is not clear which of the three men is under suspicion for the alleged crime in New York, Lil Zay Osama was arrested in 2022 in NYC for allegedly leaving a machine gun in the back of a car. Though initially held without bail, he was subsequently released.
The police began to give chase to the Chicago rapper and his two friends when the car made a series of illegal maneuvers. At one point, a police helicopter was even deployed to try to track down the car.
“Police found a loaded Glock 29 with a laser, an extended magazine and a switch that converts the weapon into a fully automatic machine gun and a loaded Glock 19 with a fifty-round drum magazine and a defaced serial number inside the Dodge,” reports Fox 32.
Lil Zay Osama was also reportedly wearing a $90,000 necklace connected to the New York jewelry store robbery, though it is not clear if he was in fact involved in the robbery, or if he merely benefited from it.

All three men are set to appear in court on January 8, 2024.
Earlier this year, Osama was scooped up by Chicago police officers on and taken into custody where he was hit with weapons charges. Social media couldn’t get enough of the OTF rapper’s mugshot, which captures him looking completely baffled and staring away from the camera with his hands inside his tank top.
