Cory Gunz Busted For Gun Possession

Young Money rapper Cory Gunz was arrested for gun possession in the Bronx, New York this weekend. The star was busted this past Saturday (January 28) afternoon, and his father, rapper Peter Gunz, detailed to MTV News what happened to his son.

"The details are still sketchy, but I can confirm that he was arrested with a firearm yesterday in the Bronx," Gunz told MTV News. "They caught him around 2 p.m. in the afternoon with a loaded gun in his knapsack.

"It was definitely an illegal search," Peter Gunz added.

"I spoke to the arresting officer, and so far, what I'm hearing from him is that they got a phone call at the station saying they should 'look out,' " Gunz said. "According to [the officer], they didn't know he was Cory Gunz. They just saw a bunch of kids following him around. What I will say is that the officer that arrested Cory actually happened to be a cool dude. After arresting Cory, sitting down with him and talking, he felt bad about the situation."

"To go to a precinct and see your son, your junior, in handcuffs, it's heartbreaking," he said. "Anytime you see your child in jail, in the cell, in handcuffs, it's very hard. He's walked down some of the same paths that I walked down, but you never want to see your kids go through what you went through."

Nick Cannon On Cory Gunz

Nick Cannon believes in Cory Gunz. Mr. Mariah Carey recently shared his thoughts on Gunz's career and potential, and Cannon revealed that he thinks Cory could be bigger than his more famous Young Money labelmates.

"I definitely think he can [be the next Young Money superstar]," Cannon declared in an interview. "I think he can be bigger than Drake and Nicki Minaj. I'm a huge fan of both of those acts, but Cory comes from a different place."

"He's a street dude and he's been living hip-hop all his life and the industry's been buzzing about him for years," Cannon added. "Jay-Z signed him when he was 17, so just the respect and the potential that everybody recognizes--and he holds the Bronx down like no other and that's the birthplace of hip-hop--so I think we can see a lot of things from this cat."

"All of his performances, whether it's a video or a live performance, his energy is always the same: It's always up," Gunz said. "If there's anything that I learned from him, it's definitely to put your heart in it. Regardless if you're writing a verse for somebody else's album, write it like it's for yours."
