Following various run-ins with the law, Maybach Music Group artist Gunplay says he’s now “staying out of trouble.” The Floridian emcee recently spoke with Mikey T The Movie Star about his lifestyle change and almost having his freedom taken away.
“Just staying out the way, man. Just staying out of trouble,” Gunplay said. “Out the way. Staying home. Only moving when money calls. You know what I’m saying? Shows, et cetera. But other than that, dog, I’m just humble, man. When you get your freedom almost took from you it kinda does something to ya. And it’s a new charge and shit. So, I’m really, really, really chilling now.”
In addition to adopting a less hectic lifestyle, Gunplay says that he’s also come across a new fanbase. The rapper says his new fanbase is less familiar with the “selling crack,” “snorting coke” Gunplay and are more familiar with his wild side.
Gunplay also spoke on the tracks fans can expect on his upcoming album, Living Legend. Among the records he says will be featured on the album are one EDM track and another track, which features guest verses from Lil Wayne and Rick Ross.
“I have a new fanbase,” he said. “So, I’m not trying to cater to them, but give em something that they’ll fuck with. You know what I’m saying? Cause my new fanbase—They know me for selling crack and snorting coke and busting guns and shit. You know? The hood know me for that. But my new fanbase, they wanna hear the crazy Gunplay, the wild Gunplay. They wanna hear that. So, I gave em a record called ‘Crazy’ featuring Young Dro. And of course for the stoners my nigga Wayne. Ross on there, ‘Kush.’ Got an EDM record on my album. Kinda EDM-ish. That’s gonna really be big. Shot the video with J.R. Saint. Shot that out there in the Mojave Desert…Just something different. I be bored with music and shit.”
Lastly, Gunplay addressed his past drug use and recalled being labeled “a crackhead” at the start of his music career.
“Can’t no nigga snort as much cocaine as me neither, muthafucka,” the rapper said. “They tried to ruin a nigga career early in the game. ‘You a crackhead mothafucka.’ But shit, man. I’m against all odds. Me against the world.”
Living Legend is currently slated for release later this year.

Junkies have no place in the music business. There’s a reason Gunplay A/k/a NoChainz still doesn’t have his first album out after carrying Officer Ricky’s weed for over 10 years while Ross continues to sign new talent to MMG and give them release dates.
LMAO @ “Junkies have no place the music business”
I got a list of names to argue that logic
Jim Morrison
Marvin Gaye
Janis Joplin
Jimi Hendrix
Kurt Cobain
Whitney Houston
Ozzy Osbourne
Amy Whinehouse
Micheal Jackson

Bob Marley
Ray Charles
Brian Wilson
Jerry Garcia

And on and on and on and on………
If you erased drug addicts from music, you’d erase practically all the great artists from the history books, hell, even in hip hop your favorite artist is likely a pothead or a borderline alcoholic……
GTFOH
he should have said junkies have no place in hip-hop. especially when they rap about selling drugs when everyone knows they’re just customer.
He didn’t seem too hyped on Ross and Jeezy making peace.
35 years old, no album, no release date. Biggest claim to fame is getting jumped and robbed by G-Unit and getting caught on tape with no mask on doing a felony robbery. Ross really let this guy down. Is Wing Stop hiring?
HAHA…
I could deal with his crackhead ways if he was funny but he got a wack personality and is just annoying as fuck how many times this nigga been beaten up n knocked out? sumone gon body his ass soon if he keeps getting high n thinkin he superman
They know me for selling crack and snorting coke and busting guns and shit. You know? The hood know me for that.
only thing his known for is getting his ass kicked Richard Morales went to miramar public high and used to get beat up on a constant and still is
^^^ Lol
He calls himself Gunplay but for some reason he stays getting beat down.
During this interview he casually talked about getting knocked out by security at a show like it happens all the time. He has zero wins in the rap game.
self proclaimed living legend, lolol, no one thinks you a legend fuck boy unless we talking about legendary rap punching bags. yo theres a picture of him from a few months back looking like a statue stone cold sleeping while his boys carry him outta the club.
LMAO Heres the video of the pic gunplay knocked out getting carried out the club like a little kid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc5NlpKs1lg
Whoa another one? Living Legend? Nah son, Living L
gunplay is a junkie..he’ll never blow up..and people have the nerve to laugh at 50
This nigga a lame
Anyone else hear how he tried to brush off his latest knockout with some more tough talk about how he handles those situations behind the scenes with no cameras around? Sorry I don’t believe you Fakeplay. Nothing ever happened to any of the G-Unit guys who took your chain and sent you flying through the air.
Nevermind yall I thought this was the new Breakfast Club interview.
whattup with that struggle mustache?
and he talking about his new fan base like he has an old fan base. HAH
junkie, junkie, junkie…..”Junkies have no place in the music business”….
but a true music lover knows that many of the most beautiful songs ever recorded (and you probably love some to death) were done by…….a junkie
remember Eminem? oh, there’s a difference, there IS room for a junkie, so long as they fit your Moral Orel code, ya bunch of hypocrites
Gunplay is wack-juice, but the new crop of the target demographic ain’t gonna remember the 1st KO by the car, they’ll remember the songs from last year and ride the wave because he has MMG on his side and the press says MMG is that group
damn, so many hatin on gunplay. im lookin forward to this. gunplay is funny as fuck, got a tight flow, good word play, and good ear for beats. You may not like the content, but he is definitely a very good rapper.
Def Jam already dropped this dude after footage of 50 beating him and taking his chain at Bet awards surfaced
my homies in FL told me this guy was a huge loser in high school. it all makes so much sense. he linked up with ross and they began to live out a gangster fantasy where they weren’t complete losers/cops/fatties/addicts.
You wish you had homies but all you have are fantasies.
Just release the album, and let the numbers do the talking.
He wont sell 80k in 5 years. Tony Yayo sold over 800k. Say what you want about 50 Cent but he put his niggas on while he was at his peak. Ross ain’t put Gunplay in the game yet but he stays signing bums like Fat Trel and Tracy T.
Rock stars are allowed to use narcotics but its considered taboo for rappers to do so unless of course its Wu Tang, DMX or a rapper that you like. Charlie Sheen does coke and hes considered a party animal but Gunplay does coke and hes a crackhead….
Rock stars didn’t glamorize selling drugs to fiends and not getting high off their own supply.
rappers literally make drug promoting music. its really awful that they can make that and kids listen to it. there are so many kids throwing their life away due to weed, lean, and pill abuse
I think everyone talks / post comments based on false perspective , but not real what is in your face facts .. and Fact is Gunplay is artistic .. he has his own style and he comes with witty shit and a different layered flow when he spits .. exaple ( cartoons & cereal ) … has anyone seen his short video “guillatine swords “? .. oh i forgot .. your stuck on the fact 50 cent crew jumped him and he did fly around .. but didnt break or quit .. he was in the end swinging on someone from 50 crew .. he didnt run he got fucking Jumped ..of course you lose the fight when you jumped ???!! … not one of yall would of stood in the paint like he did witha whole crew attacking you .. he has style and if you get your head out your ass and actually listen to his music .. not guess you know.. listen .. because all you fucks did is say.. “oh Gunplay . he sucks ” you robably judge Ross off his old job a “CO” .. but not his actual MUSIC which is Nice .. fucking dumb ass commentors
“exaple ( cartoons & cereal )”
this is the only song anyone ever mentions with this guy and it’s not even his. sadly he will never top that. he was probably high on crack too.
that nigga went flying through the air into the steel fence. only reason he got up and started swinging was because everyone else got maced and ran off from the cops. he gets no point for that.
gunplay jumped dj vlad with officer rickys bodyguards for exposing his cop buddy so he gets no sympathy.
people aren’t ready to make coke sniffing on camera a socially acceptable activity yet Gunplay. too many drug awareness classes for that so until then you’re a drug addict. and the same thing goes to you lean sipping and weed abusing drug addicts who think you’re cool till your body rots from the inside out
A lot of my favorite artists struggled with addiction, Cobain, Hendrix, Gaye, DMX, so I hope Gunplay can conquer his addictions and make some good music for us.
you put Gunplay with those guys? nah Gunplay is just a dopefiend with natty dreads
damn, so many hatin on gunplay. im lookin forward to this. gunplay is funny as fuck, got a tight flow, good word play, and good ear for beats. You may not like the content, but he is definitely a very good rapper.
He came in the game being co-signed by the biggest fraud we’ve seen thus far, a lying ass snitchin law enforcement rat nigga. Pardon me if I can’t take this fool seriously. Especially after seeing him get knocked out 3 times and robbed once.
aye i agree with you dog, the BIGGEST fraud.
YOU KNOW U A STAN WHEN “HATIN” IS THE 1ST THING YOU CAN COME UP WITH
You know you a Stan of 50 when you click an article on Gunplay to say how much you dislike him.50 got y’all all fucked up in the head.I will listen to Gunplay’s music before I listen to 50 who has been exposed as fraudulent time and time again..
No one even mentioned 50 Cent… fuck is you talkin about.
In his new Breakfast Club interview he casually talks about getting knocked out again like its happens all the time. This nigga is a fiend and a loser whether G-Unit beat and robbed him or not. He take’s L’s like that every month.
He’s actually a very reasonable and sane person
Jump Out > Anything your favorite rapper ever released
yoooo gunplay is just the neighborhood smoker that got rich. oh and he can rap too know that!! but he aint never gonna be shit but a fiend. he was born in the trash and he will die in the gutter. oh but he can rap..LOL fuck outta here, i gotta teener for ya broke ass gunplay lolol
Gunplay is not rich. He’s living off a Def Jam advance that he’s going to have to pay back out of his own pocket when he album flops (if it ever gets a release date). You can just look at him and tell he has a poor credit rating.
No one tried to ruin your career dog, you did that to yourself when you started snorting bumps on video and talking mad shit without being able to back any of it up.
Either he’s a walking contradiction or the person who wrote this article sucks pretty bad. As it says in one part:
“The rapper says his new fanbase is less familiar with the selling crack, snorting coke Gunplay” and then a couple of lines later reads: “Cause my new fanbaseThey know me for selling crack and snorting coke.” Terrible article.
New fanbase? LOL does he even have an old fanbase?
In the Breakfast Club interview he said he is sober then he proceeded to pour him self a cup of alcohol at like 8 AM.
gunplay used to suck dick for coke…I seen him
used to?
who would have ever thought that snorting cocaine on video when your boss claims to be drug kingpin would ever give the impression that you’re a crackhead junkie.
Why didn’t he speak about his fake ass watch? This nigga been exposed by @FakeWatchBusta. His commanding officer Ricky wears fake watches too.
Why don’t rappers who promote the use of “Lean” or “Molly” get the same criticism as Gunplay?
Trinidad James – My Last Molly Song Ever I Promise ft. Gunplay
Gunplay on popping Molly
“My mind is clear. I’m thinking way clearer and I’m not thinking on impulse much. I talk about it and acknowledge it [his cocaine addiction]. To this day, that’s [cocaine] my favorite drug; my drug of choice [cocaine]. Now, I just pop a Molly, fuck it. That shit gets you high three, four hours and it stops. I’m back to reality.”
that lean is pretty bad stuff, lil wayne caught a lot of flack for being a junkie addicted to lean. same for soulja boy and gucci mane. as far as the molly i never heard of a molly addict.
there’s something beautiful about rapping about how you’re struggle to get by by selling drugs to fiends and being remorseful. there is nothing to be celebrated when you are junkie and you are parading it like its cool to kids. there are plenty song about drug abuse but rap music is the only genre that promotes drug use these days
how you gon sell drugs..and then abuse them?..
Being a junkie is cool now? cmon now. Back in the day kids made fun of crackhead fiends. theres people who make bossed up rap and there are people that make rap for followers.
Listen to this guy talk about knocking out this dope fiend.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuohhHS2Soc
cocaine is awesome fuck what you all think.
Since when does a crackhead care how they are labeled? Dude is a coke junkie though. He was so proud to binge on a youtube video. These lean rappers are no better. Heroine junkies basically. Rap and hip hop has more to do with drugs these days than anything uplifting or relevant. How is molly no being discussed when that was out for over 10 years? These junkie rappers are getting paid by their industry handlers to pollute and dumb down their audience with drug references and a bunch of nothing.
“You can just look at him and tell he has a poor credit rating”
Obviously that’s what he wants people to think. This way he doesn’t blow money on yes men, and has plenty left to purchase Columbian blow.
I guarantee Andre Nickatina can do wayyyy more blow than this guy
