Being a rapper is a dangerous job,
and rolling with security is always a good idea.
But sometimes rappers get caught lacking
and end up getting pressed for real
and today we’re taking a look at some of the biggest artists in the game
who weren’t moving right
and got checked by goons.
Let’s get right into it.
Young Buck and 50 Cent
have been going at it for years.
They used to be in G Unit together after Young Buck replaced Tony Yayo,
but they had wild public beef that's still going on today.
A couple of months ago,
a 50 Cent fan ran into Buck in a store and tried to check him.
He asked Buck what was up with him and 50,
and Buck just told him to stop recording.
That’s when the 50 fan said something about fighting,
and Buck said they weren’t gonna be throwing down.
He told the dude he had something in the car for him,
and the guy said he had something in the car too.
Luckily nobody got hurt,
but the situation could’ve gone bad fast.
You never know what will happen when dudes start trying to check rappers
for a little bit of clout,
and Young Buck is really about that life.
Back in 2000
he survived getting shot multiple times when his house was robbed,
and in 2012
somebody tried to take him out again in a drive-by.
Hopefully clout chasers leave Buck alone from now on.
He's over 40 years old
and should be able to buy groceries without dudes starting problems with him.
Rico Recklezz
is a rapper from Chicago
who’s famous for beefing with damn near everyone in the city.
He came up as a Black P Stone,
but later he decided to start his own crew
and stopped banging sets.
He got the name Recklezz
after he tore up the streets
looking for the dudes who shot his mom and sister,
but a few years ago
he got caught lacking in a gas station and almost got shot too.
Rico ran into a dude named 100KTucc in the gas station
and everything was cool at first.
Tucc was filming
and showing them all chilling,
while he pulled out his strap and aired it out in front of the camera.
After Rico went to leave the spot,
100KTucc told his homies that he was gonna press him.
In another video,
Tucc walks up to Rico’s whip with his burner out
and asks him if he was dissing the GDs.
Rico turned around to look at the dude,
and as soon as he saw the gun
the dude driving the whip smashed off.
Luckily Rico made it out of the situation without any issues,
but that’s not the only time he’s almost died at a gas station.
Last year
Rico ran into some fans who wanted to take a pic.
At first Rico was cool with it,
but then he shut the situation down
after one of the dudes made a joke about robbing him.
Rico hopped in an Uber to leave,
and when they pulled out,
somebody back at the gas station started letting off shots.
Rico got hit in the back,
but the wound wasn’t that serious
and he made a full recovery.
Hopefully he's started moving differently at gas stations
because obviously Rico can’t avoid the drama.
Teejayx6 is a rapper from Detroit
who invented the genre of scam rap.
He blew up with the track Dark Web back in 2019
where he talked about stealing identities and credit card fraud,
but it didn’t take long for the scamming to catch back up to him.
A couple of years ago,
Teejay posted Lil Baby’s ID on social media
and said he was gonna get rich off his name.
Fans warned him to take the post down
because Baby was really about that life,
but Teejay didn’t listen and kept it up.
Then a few days later,
Teejay was shopping at the Lenox Mall in Atlanta
when a bunch of goons ran up on him.
A viral video came out showing Teejay running away
while the dudes tried to put hands on him,
and later he hopped on IG Live
Man, when you gotta run man, sometimes you gotta run bro.
People were clowning on him like crazy over the video,
but Teejay said he was outnumbered like ten to one
and wasn’t gonna hang around just to get beat up.
It’s not clear if the goons were with Lil Baby or not,
but the timing of how it all went down definitely lines up.
Travis Scott and Young Thug
were touring together back in 2015,
and they ended up running into some serious trouble in Virginia.
According to witnesses,
Travis Scott hopped onstage
and started dissing Trey Songz in his home state.
The local goons weren’t cool with Travis
disrespecting their hometown hero,
and after the show
they tried to check Thug and Travis.
Videos started going around
showing a bunch of dudes surrounding their tour bus after the show.
The bus was stopped in the middle of the street,
and they all walked around trying to get Thug and Travis to come out.
Luckily nobody got hurt
and both Thug and Travis got away,
but it was a situation that could’ve gone left fast.
Dissing other rappers on stage
usually aint that big of a deal,
but apparently the goons in Virginia
are riding hard for Trey Songz
and won’t let anyone play with his name.
Wack100
is known for constantly being on Clubhouse
and talking about all kinds of nonsense,
and earlier this year
it ended up getting him checked.
Wack was talking to some alleged bloods from New York
and the situation started getting heated,
that’s when one of the goons told Wack that they knew where he was staying.
Wack tried to call cap at first,
but then the dude started describing the spot
It's a garage, it's a garage,
two pitbulls in the garage and one n**** with a little studio
you know what I'm talking about stop playing with me.
Wack’s whole attitude changed
when the dude started talking about it.
He tried to say he didn’t know anything about the spot they were talking about,
but you could tell by his voice that it had him shaken up.
That wasn’t the only time Wack got checked on Clubhouse this year.
Back in October,
21 Savage hopped on and pressed him
and Wack started spreading rumors that 21 was working with the cops.
21 checked Wack
for calling him an informant
and they started going back and forth about the issue,
I can't go to court for immigration
if I got an open gun case man.
Let you serve your time
and deport your ass.
that’s when 21 decided to leave
because he thought Wack was just using him for content.
You using me for content man, I'm gone man, I'm gone.
N**** you is content you rat ass n****.
Wack can diss whoever he wants on Clubhouse,
but if he messes with the wrong people
the issues might catch up to him in real life.
YK Osiris
has probably been checked more than any other artist in the game.
Lil Baby checked him over five bands that YK owed him,
Drake pressed him over 60k and made him sing as a joke to clear out the debt,
and some real street goons have pressed him too.
Back in 2020,
a viral video came out showing some dudes in Canada
pressing him at the mall for not checking in.
YK tried to avoid them by hanging out in a store,
and had mall security walk him out so the dudes couldn’t get to him.
Then almost the same thing went down at a mall in Miami.
YK was walking through the mall when a bunch of local goons tried to press him.
They followed him through the mall and challenged him to box,
but YK just ignored them and kept it pushing.
Luckily he had his security with him
and he made it out of the situation without getting hands put on him.
YK apparently isn’t welcome in a lot of cities,
and in 2018
his bus was shot up after a show in St. Louis.
It’s not clear who tried to take him out or why they wanted to,
but it seems like YK knows how to make enemies everywhere.
Charleston White is always sending wild shots at people online,
and when some goons caught up to him in Dallas
the situation almost went left.
It’s not clear how it all went down,
but a video came out
showing Charleston getting surrounded outside of a gas station one night.
Instead of trying to handle the situation himself
and risk getting beat up or shot,
Charleston just called the cops
and let them take care of it for him.
In a second video,
Charleston is seen pacing around the parking lot
yelling at the cops
He put the gun in the car.
(Inaudible)
he gave it to one of them.
He had me surrounded with his gang buddies.
That wasn’t the first time someone tried to check him
and Charleston pulled a crazy move.
Back in July
Soulja Boy and his crew tried to walk up on him,
but Charleston pulled out some pepper spray and maced all of them!
Soulja and a bunch of other people clowned him over it,
but obviously it worked for Charleston.
Pulling out pepper spray in a fight might looked down on,
but it was definitely an easier way to handle the situation
instead of throwing hands or letting off shots.
Lil Wayne is a legend in the game
who has love everywhere he goes,
but when you become one of the biggest rappers in history
you’re gonna have some haters too
and back in 2014
an LA goon tried to check him outside of the club.
Wayne was leaving the Supperclub with Christina Millian
and they were surrounded by security.
But that didn’t stop a dude walking up
and pressing him about checking in.
The dude told Wayne
You better check in, n****.
Magic n**** 87 gangsta n**** cripp,
straight up.
Wayne just ignored the dude while his security kept them separated,
and after he drove off
the cripp said
N**** can’t say s***.
You can call who you want to.
Birdman, anybody.
What made the situation so funny
is that nobody was taking the goon seriously.
Wayne barely looked at the dude,
and even his security knew he wasn’t a threat.
If you’re gonna try to press one of the most successful rappers in the game,
you better come correct
or you’ll just end up looking like a fool on camera.
6ix9ine is one of the most hated rappers in the game
after he flipped on his crew and worked with the cops.
Before snitching
he already had a lot of enemies out there,
but now way more people wanna see him get touched.
Last year 6ix9ine went back to Brooklyn,
and some random goon tried to check him.
They were both sitting in their whips in the middle of traffic,
and the dude started screaming about 6ix9ine being a rat.
Yous a f***** rat n****.
Then 6ix9ine posted his own video
where he told the dude to get out of the car and move on him,
Get out the car and move on me.
Get out the car and move on me n****.
Get out the car and move on me.
but obviously neither of them really wanted smoke
because they both just stayed in their whips and yelled at each other.
A lot of people have talked about putting hands on 6ix9ine,
but he’s still out there doing all the same stuff as before
and nobody has really checked him yet.
He's had a few run-ins,
but people were acting like he had a death sentence in the streets
after he snitched.
Somebody might really try and run down on him for clout at some point,
but for now he’s still moving like he always has.
