DThang Is Free
On Monday, Jan. 8, DThang Gz was released following his arrest in 2022. During that year, it was disclosed that the New York drill rapper was apprehended along with 33 others as part of a 65-count indictment linked to multiple shootings in the Highbridge section of the Bronx.
DThang, along with other members, faced charges such as conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, attempted assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. Recently, video footage has emerged featuring the rapper adorned in a black puffer jacket and a Celine beanie, holding stacks of money.

Bronx Rapper DThang Gz Among 33 Arrested On Attempted Murder Charges
The police have arrested upcoming drill rapper DThang Gz over a 60-plus indictment that includes attempts to kill and criminal possession of a weapon. DThang was incarcerated shortly after a turf war in which he allegedly shot at rival gang members.
DThang Taken Into Custody
Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark, alongside NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell, announced that DThang, the co-founder of the hip-hop collective Bronx Drill, was incarcerated on May 24. This comes just 6 days after the New York Senate passed the “Rap Lyrics on Trial Bill”. The bill, also called Senate Bill S7527, prohibits the use of song lyrics as evidence in criminal trials.
According to an ABC 7 report, Clark stated DThang, real name Daniel Collins, and the River Park Towers (RPT) gang “allegedly fired wildly on the streets without regard for the lives of anyone else. They allegedly possessed a gun used in shootings that they posed with on social media and rapped about the violence.”
One indictment alleged that seven members fired over 10 gunshots inside a building vestibule in August 2020. In April 2021, RPT members attempted to assault a member of the Crips gang on Rikers Island.
Drilling Pigeon For Clout
One of the indictments is animal cruelty, a reference to an Instagram Live where RPT members brutally murder a pigeon. A member can be heard saying “we going down for animal cruelty” as others struck the bird with a cane. Its lifeless body is then filmed in gory detail with DThang behind the camera.
Future Of Bronx Drill
Meanwhile, in the wake of the indictments and incarceration, many stans have taken to the comments section of their music videos and social media to post “Free Dthang” and “Free RPT”. But the future of the suspects is not optimistic as the charges carry heavy jail sentences if proven.
