IT was reported that rapper Fredo Bang and Lit Yoshi were arrested in Florida on July 22, 2021.
Both musicians are members of the rap collective Top Boy Gorilla or TBG.
Why was rapper Fredo Bang arrested?
Rapper Fredo Bang was arrested in Miami on July 22, 2021, on a warrant out of Louisiana.
Fredo, whose real name is Fredrick Dewon Thomas Givens II, was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
He had been scheduled to perform at Rolling Loud Miami before his arrest.
Was Lit Yoshi also arrested?
His peer and associate, a rapper named Lit Yoshi, was arrested in Miami on an out-of-state warrant as well.
Yoshi, real name Mieyoshi Young, was wanted on an attempted murder charge in Louisiana. He was booked just after 12pm.
The pair had reportedly been feuding with rapper NBA YoungBoy's crew in Louisiana.
Young is currently awaiting trial for an attempted murder case in Baton Rogue, the Miami Herald reported.
Detectives were trying to speak to Givens and Young about the feud two years ago after someone in a passing car opened fire on YoungBoy.
NBA YoungBoy was outside of Donald Trump's International Beach Resort in Sunny Isles Beach at the time.
The gunfire wounded the rapper's girlfriend and three innocent bystanders – a man, his girlfriend and her five-year-old son.
One of the stray bullets also killed Mohamad Jradi, 43, who was a Hertz rental car employee.
No one has been charged in Miami-Dade for the shooting, however, prosecutors in Louisiana have linked Young and the TBG group to the incident.
