Cory Gunz Arrested On Gun Charge

Sun Jan 29 2012 by Idolator Staff
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.

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. More »
