Gunplay was arrested over the weekend after he allegedly pointed a rifle at his wife and six-month-old baby.
According to XXL, the Miami rapper was arrested on Saturday night (August 19) on charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, domestic violence, false imprisonment and child abuse.
Fox Sports journalist Andy Slater reported that Gunplay pointed a gun at his wife while she was holding their daughter after she told him to quiet down while playing Xbox.
Gunplay (real name Richard Morales Jr.) has reportedly denied all allegations and is currently in jail with bail set at $20,000.
Gunplay’s wife, Vonshae Taylor-Morales, took to Instagram on Sunday (August 20) to detail the “traumatizing” incident, claiming he was scaring their baby while playing Call of Duty.
She also claimed he has an alcohol problem and said she plans to file for divorce to protect her and her daughter.
“I just want everyone to know my daughter and I are safe,” she wrote. “Unfortunately, Richard is back using and developed a very bad drinking problem. I’ve tried everything in my power to help him and love him.
“To summarize last night event. I asked Richard to quiet down as he scared the baby sleeping by yelling playing call of duty. He started going off on me for asking him to be quiet.”
She continued: “I tried to collect a bag so my daughter and I can go to a room while he sobers up. He didn’t want us to leave and things went left fast.
“He was arrested last night, the weapon is in police custody. I have a restraining order, my daughter is in my custody and I am filing for divorce. He will never get the chance to disrespect us again.”
She added: “Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers. This is a very traumatizing experience please keep me in your prayers.”
The incident comes after Gunplay threatened to shoot up a club after the DJ played 50 Cent’s music at his birthday party in July.
“Why would you play that?!” the former MMG rapper could be heard yelling while shoving people out of the way and throwing a trash can at the DJ.
He continued in a fit of rage: “Don’t touch me before I shoot this shit up! Don’t you fucking touch me. I’ll kill everything in here! Do you know where you at?”
good for her. but we didn’t forget just a couple of months ago you were cohoots with him with that gofundme while gifting a topless rick ross bedside with a new chain.
Good point! When it rain it pours.
Facts!!! And he had a tantrum and tried to bully DJ Envy for saying the same thing. Not to mention he’s literally 20 years older than she is. He thought he found a weak little girl. The fact that she’s getting her PhD should have told him she wasn’t going for no dumb sh!t like that. Too bad for him. He’s exactly where he belongs.
Tough guy gun play thinks he is tough for pointing a gun at his wife and kid. Real tough guys just walk away from that situation and cool off. Tough guys also get help for substance abuse problems.
It say he “pointed” the gun, not fired the gun. He just tryin to make them give him some respect.
I’ve read some dumb a** comments, but this one tops it off loll. Thats how you gain respect? By getting mad at a video game that he’s clearly garbage at or else he wouldnt be mad, and point a gun at people you say you love?.. Damn yall are weak as sh*t for even trying to defend this dummy.. G-Unit need to put his a** down again..
Lmao frfr tho
Yes that is what Very Sad commented….
Cartoon and Cereal ass N****. Not surprised. This guy stay losing fights to grown men so he has to pick on kids. I’ll never forget when 50 and G-UNIT put Funplay to sleep. Pure bozo status.
“Yeah,n!99@, Yeah!!”
You mean his bodyguards don’t be a 🍆 handler homie that shit looks bad and it took all them for a little dude
50 and G-Unit weren’t the only ones to put him asleep. Your boy Bunplay is ASS.
Used to love this guy back in the day. But aint gonna lie, between the Ross chain thing, the baby mama go fund me, and now this, damn….Hopefully he gets his life together. Open a small business, get a spot on Love and Hip Hop, time to focus on life.
Akademiks will be laughing his ass off
Lol
Lol he’s living up to his name. Gunplay
There’s a saying that my hood invented a few years ago. It goes “You live by the gun, you die by the gun”. Makes ya think, don’t it
You think your hood invented that? A few years ago? C’mon bro. Lololol
Idk man. My uncle used to say it all the time. But he also made me play a game called “Swallow the Leader” instead of Follow the Leader. He’s a strange guy so maybe he copied the saying from someone else, who knows
I was just playing.
His flow is dope! But he also sniffs dope! Dude been crazy from the jump.
How do we know the baby wasn’t pointing a guy at him. This could have been self defense. Either way this one is definitely for the culture.
Haha so your hood invented that saying? Bahaha that saying has been around. Akon said that in Live By the Gun….good lord, tell that hood of yours next time find a phrase that hasn’t been used before
He’s got that “I fucked up” look on his face. Handle your booze. Weirdo.
I mean Gunplay charged with Gunplay isn’t that shocking…
I don’t have much sympathy for a woman that chose to be with a guy that calls himself ‘gunplay’. I do feel bad for the kid but unfortunately many children have to suffer with having a bad mother and/or father. It sucks but that’s life I guess.
I’ve never seen a mustache that screams low-life, coke head and sexual deviant all at the same time
Son always been a clown. He has to be what, 70 years old still playing that crazy ngga shit. Grow up, stupid. Now you got a domestic violence charge. Know what that means?? If found guilty, you can’t own a gun. Which means you’re lying by your namesake. What a joke.
