Brooklyn rapper Bobby Shmurda was arrested in New York City on Wednesday, in connection with an investigation into street violence and drug trafficking in the city’s outer borough.

Shmurda, whose real name is Ackquille Pollard, was taken into custody by investigators as he sat in his car outside Quad Recording Studios on Seventh Avenue, the New York Times reported.

The 20-year-old rapper has increasingly had run-ins with law enforcement this year, having been arrested for possession of an illegal firearm in June followed by an October arrest for possession of marijuana. Both arrests took place in Brooklyn, where the Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor for New York City is conducting an investigation along with the New York Police Department’s newly formed Brooklyn South Violence Reduction Task Force.

More than 12 others have been arrested as part of the investigation, and authorities said further details and charges would be unsealed in court on Thursday.

Lil Wayne Wants Out Of Cash Money

If it seems like  Lil Wayne 's upcoming album,  Tha Carter V , has gotten caught in a holding pattern, that's because the rapper says it is. In a  series of tweets , Weezy criticized Cash Money – the label that has released all of his albums and is home to the Young Money imprint he founded – likening his contract to a prison sentence. "To all my fans, I want you to know that my album won't and hasn't been released bekuz [label co-founder] Baby and Cash Money Records refuse to release it," he wrote. "This is not my fault. I am truly and deeply sorry to all my fans but most of all to myself and my family for putting us in this situation. "I want off this label and nothing to do with these people but unfortunately it ain't that easy," he continued. "I am a prisoner and so is my creativity.

Drake Previously Dissed Diddy On "6 God"

Recently Puff Daddy Smacked Up Drake And from a close source here are some reasons why. Here’s how it went down: Diddy and his manager pull up to the parking lot behind LIV. Diddy’s manager goes into the club to get Diddy’s table situation correct, while Diddy remains in their vehicle. While he’s sitting in the car, Drake’s vehicle pulls up. Upon seeing this, Diddy exits his vehicle and approaches Drake’s vehicle. He taps on the window to talk to him.

Then, Diddy smacked Drake for the first time. Then he smacked him a second time, then he punched him. Drake’s...
