Cory Gunz Arrested On Gun Charge

Well, at least no one can accuse him of not living up to his name. “6 Foot 7 Foot” rapper Cory Gunz has been arrested for possession of a loaded firearm in New York City. The Young Money rapper was found in his native Bronx with the weapon in his knapsack in what his father Peter Gunz (also a rapper, featured on MTV’s Son Of A Gun with Cory) told MTV was “definitely an illegal search.” Though this is Cory’s first arrest, it looks like the 24-year-old may well be facing some serious jail time, as there is a mandatory prison sentence for this offense in New York City. See what Cory’s buddy Nick Cannon had to say below.

“Great dude, just a little bad luck. @CoryGunz is holding strong and will be out shortly. Family is here if and when anything is needed,” was Nick Cannon’s tweet from today regarding the incident.

That bad luck may extend to a very serious stint behind bars. “At the end of the day, there’s a reason for everything, but at the same time, in New York, it’s mandatory jail time,” Gunz’s father told MTV. “To go to a precinct and see your son, your junior, in handcuffs, it’s heartbreaking. 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.”
