Here are a few rappers who love doing crime!
8 - SpottemGottem Rapper SpottemGottem released a viral song
in 2020 called "BeatBox."
The song caught plenty of people's attention and gained some new listeners.
In early June 2020, Spottem found himself in a car full of friends.
They must have been having a party because when they saw a gate blocking their way, they
ran it over.
This gate blocked the entrance to a parking garage that the group was trying to get into.
When someone approached the group about what they had just done, Spottem pulled out a semi-automatic
weapon.
He and his friends fled the scene after the incident, and nothing seemed to come of it
at first.
The young rapper felt like he had gotten away with everything.
He still seemed real comfortable when the cops found him on July 15th, asleep in his
bed with a Draco, an Ak47 pistol, that he wasn't supposed to have.
They arrested him with the help of a warrant that was issued after the parking garage incident.
Spottem was charged with multiple crimes including, aggravated assault with a firearm, possession
of a firearm by a convicted felon, and accessory after the fact to a felony.
After reviewing the case, a judge set his bond at a little over $18,000.
7 - Pop Out Boyz The amateur rap group Pop Out Boyz tried to
make it big and live the infamous lifestyle of the rappers they idolized.
However, they felt like no one would take them seriously unless they could flash the
cash like everyone else.
The Boyz came up with a credit card scam to get rich quickly and remedy this issue.
They started by buying stolen identities off of the dark web.
With new identities in hand, they embarked on a shopping spree at some of the most prestigious
stores in New York.
The operation itself was sort of sophisticated.
During the raids on the Pop-Out Boyz and their associate's homes, the authorities found a
whole horde of equipment related to fraudulently creating credit cards.
These items included a card printer, a tipper, a card encoder, and multiple embossers.
Classic police work like this built and sold the case for the authorities.
They conducted raids and collected videos to make their case invincible.
They had already been investigating the Pop Out Boyz for months beforehand.
The Boyz didn't help their own case by rapping about it.
Using over 2,000 stolen cards, the group purchased around $250,000 worth of items from places
like Barney's at Saks.
The group was charged with Grand Larceny and a lot of credit card fraud.
They even earned the Donkey of the Day moniker from Charlamagne Tha God on Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne gives the title to anyone who has made a complete fool of themselves.
The Pop-Out Boys fit that description.
6 - GameOva Reedy Reina Oliver, better known by her rap name,
GameOva Reedy, found herself in a bit of trouble in 2019 when child protective services came
knocking.
Reedy, who reported feeling unwell, decided to send her kid to school alone in a Lyft.
The driver later stated to police that he told her he couldn't take the child by themself.
However, Reedy reportedly went back into her home and didn't return.
This prompted the driver to take the kid to the nearest sheriff's office to wash his hands
of the issue.
At this point, things moved rather quickly, and Reedy was arrested on charges of child
endangerment.
In Louisiana, this is considered a misdemeanor and carries around a six-month sentence.
This was not her only problem, though.
Upon further investigation, the authorities found two warrants for outstanding traffic
violations on Reedy.
Reedy is another honored recipient of the coveted Donkey of the Day Moniker given out
by the Breakfast Club in the episode "Leave Your Kid For The D Challenge."
The name references what Reedy originally got famous for.
She started an online challenge called, for the d, that had celebrities like Cardi B joining
in.
She called herself a trendsetter for it.
Thankfully the "abandon your kid in a Lyft challenge" never caught on.
Between the controversy, the warrants, and everyone clowning her, it seems like it's
game over for Reedy.
5 - Pavia Ward Pavia Ward is a rapper from Manchester, UK.
In 2020 the artist found herself at the Piccadilly station in Manchester.
The staff observed that she was too intoxicated to travel and had the authorities approach
Ward and ask her to move along.
Ward didn't take too kindly to that.
She began cursing and shouting at the staff and officers.
She also broke social distancing rules that were in place by getting closer than six feet.
The officers had no choice but to remove her by force.
When they attempted to escort her outside, she resisted them by struggling and even dropping
her weight to make it more difficult.
Once they got her out, she went straight back into the station.
The officers tried to detain her again, but she was able to slip her handcuffs and yanked
at her own hair.
During the complicated, if not a bit funny altercation, one of the offices got bit by
the wasted rapper.
They'd already charged her with being drunk and disorderly, but her bold act of defiance
could have added 'assaulting an officer' to the list.
When asked about her side of the story, Ward claimed that she did everything in self-defense
and never did anything wrong.
In this modern-day, the truth was body-cam footage away.
The officer's footage showed that everything the staff and authorities said Ward did was
true.
4 - Yasin Yasin is a rapper in Sweden who took the scene
by storm when he first popped up.
He has thousands of people listening to his music every month.
However, this isn't to say that he is without controversy.
Like many other rappers, Yasin is no stranger to the grittier side of life.
He was arrested many times over in his young life.
Yasin had multiple drug-related offenses in 2015.
He was also convicted on gun charges in 2018 and sentenced to two years and three months
behind bars.
Police also questioned him about the suspicious passing of his friend.
So it was no surprise when the young rapper was once again arrested in connection with
another crime in 2020.
One of Yasin's rivals, a rapper named Einar, was kidnapped and beaten.
During his time with the kidnappers, they took embarrassing photos of him.
They used these to try to blackmail Einar, but he didn't pay up, and the images were
released.
Upon investigation, the police discovered that the crime was committed by a criminal
organization named the Varbyn network.
As they dug deeper, the authorities connected them with other crimes as well, and before
too long, arrests were being made left and right.
Chihab Lamouri was arrested and charged with leading the criminal network; he got over
17 years for his involvement.
Another rival of Yasin's, known as Haval, was given two years and a few months for luring
the kidnapping victim to the location where he was captured.
Yasin got sentenced to ten months for passing on instructions concerning the crime.
3 - Stitches Phillip Nicholas Katsabanis is better known
by his rap name, "Stitches."
He got his name due to a unique tattoo that makes his mouth look like it's stitched together.
He also has some other tattoos that make him pretty recognizable.
His one-of-a-kind look turned around and bit him in the behind when an officer recognized
him.
He was parked in a handicap zone, enough reason for cops to approach his car.
The officers knew he was liable to have a gun, but he responded with 'no' when asked.
He also handed the cops an already burnt joint and apologized for having it.
This gave them the probable cause to search the vehicle, and they found his secret stash.
There were almost forty grams of marijuana under his seat with a handgun and two magazines.
When asked why he lied about the gun, the young man said he misunderstood the question
and thought they were asking if he had one on his person.
They charged the husband and father of three with possession of a firearm and drugs.
2 - Nuke Bizzle Nuke Bizzle, or as his mother knows him, Fontrell
Antonio Baines, committed multiple crimes in his pursuit of a rapper's glamorous lifestyle.
On September 10th, 2020, Mr. Bizzle put out a music video on youtube called EDD.
The video was about getting money and seemed to fit right into the genre.
The young rapper claimed that he didn't have to grind hard for his money and instead figured
out how to take it from the government.
He says in his song that other artists have to sell drugs while he just has to file a
claim.
Later in his trial, this line was directly referenced as evidence of his crimes.
He stole over $1,000,000 from the California Employment Development Department, otherwise
known as EDD.
How did Nuke scam so much money in such a short amount of time?
Well, he scammed relief funds meant for people struggling financially through the Covid-19
pandemic.
The payouts came in the form of prepaid debit cards in the mail.
The rapper used stolen identities to obtain almost one hundred cards and spent them on
everything under the sun.
He purchased merchandise, different services, and just straight-up withdrew the money.
Mr. Bizzle and his entourage were funding their flashy lifestyle with benefits that
belonged to other people.
They might have gotten away with it, too, if not for that pesky music video.
However, like some real-life version of the famous Key and Peele sketch, he ratted himself
out in the song.
Bizzle was arrested on September 23rd, 2020, while partying in Las Vegas with his ill-gotten
gains.
He was charged with three felonies including, access device fraud, interstate transportation
of stolen property, and aggravated identity theft.
If Mr. Bizzle is found guilty on all counts, he could end up spending the next 22 years
of his life behind bars.
It seems like bragging about scheming the government wasn't Bizzle's best bet.
Meanwhile, that's only the tip of the Nuke Bizzle iceberg.

1 - C Blu Rapper C Blu, or Camrin Williams, wears many
hats.
The young man was an up-and-coming rapper and a well-known crip member.
He's also a criminal with gun possession charges.
In January of 2022, he added assault to his rap sheet.
On January 18th, officers responded to a call about Mr. Blu causing a disturbance.
They approached the young man and ordered him to remove his hands from his pockets.
When he didn't comply, the cops struggled with him.
During the ensuing fight, a gun went off and, in a Cheddar Bob-like moment, hit one of the
officers and C Blu himself.
At this point, both people were rushed to the hospital and were ultimately okay.
The wounded officer left the hospital to the cheers of his partners while Blu went straight
to jail without passing go.
He was already on probation for gun possession charges from 2020.
Yet his lawyer somehow managed to get bail set even when the prosecution wanted Blu to
stay in jail.
He posted the $250,000 bail and left the same night he went in.
This added to an already growing controversy surrounding Judge Dennis Boyle, who has apparently
allowed several violent offenders to walk in New York.
