Shmurda To Cops: “I Use My Gun For Rap Videos. I’m A Rapper”

“Hot N***a” Rapper Fighting For His Freedom In Gang Conspiracy Case Embattled rapper Bobby Shmurda told police he had a gun on him because he needed it as an aid in his rap videos, a detective testified Tuesday. NYPD Det. Douglas Corso told a judge that he caught Shmurda fumbling with a gun inside a Brooklyn apartment two years ago that another resident told him was a scene of drug activity. Corso said he pulled his own gun, and Shmurda immediately tried stuffing the firearm into the couch before he exclaimed, “’You can’t charge me with an unloaded gun! There’s no bullets in the gun. I’ve beat gun charges before. I’ve got an attorney for that,’’ according to Corso. Corso said police later recovered a gun and a loaded magazine in the couch. About 12 hours later, Corso said he tried to talk some sense into Shmurda as he waited in a cell. “I was telling them, ‘You guys are young kids. You need to leave them guns alone,’” Corso said. “I tried to offer them encouragement.” The detective said Shmurda immediately shot back. “That’s when he said he was a rapper, and needed the gun for his music video,” Corso said.

Jeremy London Kidnapped, ‘Forced’ To Smoke Drugs

‘Party of Five’ star escaped bizarre kidnapping last week; alleged kidnapper is in custody. By MTV News staff Jeremy London Photo: Charley Gallay/WireImage Jeremy London — the actor best known for his roles in “Party of Five” and Kevin Smith’s “Mallrats” — was robbed and abducted by a man in Palm Springs, California, on Thursday night, beginning a five-hour ordeal in which he was held at gunpoint and forced to smoke drugs. Palm Springs police told RadarOnline that London, 37, was attempting to change a flat tire on his vehicle when several men stopped to help him. After London offered to drive the men home, one of them — a man identified as Palm Springs resident Brandon Adams — pulled a gun on the actor, then forced him to drive his own vehicle, smoke drugs and buy alcohol. “[During the kidnapping] he was forced to smoke dope [crack cocaine or amphetamines] and then purchase booze and hand it out in a gang area of Palm Springs,” Sergeant Steve Douglas told Radar. London managed to escape around 3 a.m. Friday, Douglas added. The actor’s vehicle was later recovered in the Palm Springs neighborhood where Adams lived. Adams was arrested and charged with several felonies, including kidnapping for ransom with injury, strong arm robbery, carjacking, receiving stolen property and taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent. Adams pleaded not guilty, The Associated Press reported Thursday, but remains in custody with bail set at slightly more than $500,000. A publicist for London confirmed to the AP that the actor was indeed the kidnapping victim and that he is working closely with police in their investigation, adding that he is currently at “an undisclosed location with family and friends.” In the past, London has struggled with drug abuse. In an April interview with People magazine , he said he had spent time in a rehabilitation center due to a prescription drug addiction. In 2004, he was arrested for allegedly driving with a suspended license and carrying controlled substances.
