He was picked up while outside a recording studio on Seventh Avenue

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.

Hutch spoke to Yahoo Music about Shyne using Twitter to slay Kendrick's new album by calling it "trash" over and over again. Hutch didn't respect that one bit and feels as though it was a "cowardly" move. "I don't really get that. I don't get Twitter bashing, Twitter banging. We don't do that. I'm an ex-con. I thought he was an ex-con. That's how that man eat. That's how Kendrick Lamar eat.

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. Instead of acknowledging the tap, Drake looks forward and ignores Diddy, so Diddy taps on the glass a second time. Diddy says calmly, “Yo, I just want to talk to you for a sec, playboy.

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