Latto Says She’s a ‘Housewife’ Not ‘Gangsta’ Following Alleged Completion of Gun Arrest Program
Latto’s Close To Getting 2021 Gun Charges Dismissed: Report
Latto found herself in hot water in 2021 when authorities caught her with a gun in her bag at LAX. However, she’s now a few steps away from having the charges dropped completely. According to TMZ, the “Lottery” rapper nearly completed the year-long diversion program after police charged with her carrying a loaded firearm and carrying a concealed firearm. Latto is to stray away from any firearms, complete a gun safety course, and perform 120 hours of community service.
The “Big Energy” rapper began the program in April 2022. Now, it seems that she’s only weeks away from finally avoiding any charges attached to the alleged crime. However, Latto will have to appear in court for a hearing later next month. That’s when an official decision will be made if she met all of her conditions. At this point, it looks like Latto won’t face any time or any further punishment if the court feels like she pulled through on her end of the bargain.

She detailed the arrest, which she described as a mistake as she went through the airport. “Went to LAX w a loaded glock 17 in my Birk got locked & let out in a few hours,” she tweeted. “Booked a $75k jet to my show in Alabama & still made it on time.”
However, this wasn’t the first time she had a run in with airport authorities. She later explained another incident where she caught a case of mistaken identity in her hometown. “Nah that was in Atlanta,” Latto explained after a fan asked if her LAX arrest was the same as when a female cop tried to make her “cough hard.” She continued, “Lol I was profiled for “looking like” sum bitch that robbed a nigga… I’m not no robber man [laughing emoji] jail is NOT for me btw.”

Toosii Films Police Run-In, Claims They Pulled A Gun On Him
Toosii recently had a scary run-in with the police that he filmed in the aftermath, and he claimed that they pulled a gun on him. Moreover, apparently the police saw his gun fall out of his car and saw him reach for it. This prompted them to shout “Gun, gun, gun!” and take hold of their firearms, which is never a safe or secure situation to be in. After all, there have been so many fatal misunderstandings with police that it must’ve been incredibly nerve-wracking. Nevertheless, the rapper and singer then filmed the aftermath of the incident, arguing with several of the police officers that saw him.
In the video clip, you can see one police officer maintain a blank expression as Toosii argues with him. Not only that, but the officers maintained that they weren’t the ones to scream “Gun!” in the incident. From what it looks like, this might’ve been part of something like a traffic stop, because they speak of a ticket later on. However, what highlights the clip is the “Favorite Song” singer’s shock at the fact they pulled a gun on him as well.
Toosii Has Police Encounter Involving Gun, Caught On Video
While this interaction could’ve gone south fast, fortunately it seems like nobody involved in the incident was hurt. Toosii’s outspoken demeanor and steadfast conviction in the clip fall in line with recent actions, and that’s a good thing. Most recently, he defended the LGBTQIA+ community in a late-night Instagram post. “I get on the internet everyday and see us attacking us,” Toosii tweeted before his IG post. “S**t getting overrated [one-hundred emoji].”
“It is what it is at the end of the day,” he expressed via Instagram. “If being straight [is] not an insult, why is being gay an insult? You’re trying to use calling a person gay as an insult. Them is the motherf***ers that really need to be attacked, feel me?”. Later on, he clarified his own sexuality and said that the comments were lame for attacking him. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Toosii.

Mike Epps Cracks Ja Morant Joke
Mike Epps hasn’t directly responded to his run-in with the police in Indianapolis, though it seems that he isn’t stressing out over it either. The comedian hit Instagram where he poked fun at his detainment with a photo of a man playing basketball inside of a prison facility against another inmate. “Me and j morant this morning,” he wrote with several laughing emojis, alluding to Morant’s recent controversy surrounding his Instagram Live stream.
Ja Morant, unfortunately, faces a police investigation following a live stream on Instagram where he appeared to flash a gun during a visit to a Colorado strip club. The Grizzlies confirmed a two-game suspension, though it seems things could get worse for their point guard. The NBA states a player can be suspended for upwards of 50 games if found guilty of carrying a firearm “at a facility or venue owned, operated or being used by a team, the NBA or any league-related entity, and whenever a player is traveling on any NBA-related business.” Check out Epps’s response above. We’ll keep you posted on any more updates surrounding Mike Epps’ gun case.
Ja Morant Suspended For Two Games Following NBA Investigation
The Memphis Grizzlies issued a statement that informed fans that they suspended Ja Morant for at least the next two games following the news of an investigation by the NBA into the star player. Moreover, said action from the league stems from an Instagram Live clip of Morant brandishing what appears to be a gun. While the video does not indicate whether the firearm is real or not, he still faces consequences depending on what the investigation concludes. Furthermore, NBA spokesperson Mike Bass broke the announcement via a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
“We are aware of a social media post involving Ja Morant and are investigating,” Bass reportedly stated. Not only that, but this comes soon after Morant faced accusations of threatening a 17-year-old with a gun. As reported, the Grizzlies guard hosted a pick-up game at his Tennessee home where he got into an altercation. However, after a police investigation, authorities ultimately dismissed moving forward with prosecution. While this was due to a lack of evidence, it’s a link in a chain of reckless acts that Morant is allegedly complicit in.
Ja Morant Suspended After Investigation
For example, a member of his entourage faced accusations of pointing a red dot at a group of Pacers fans. Still, the 23-year-old denied those claims via a Twitter message. “Did a investigation seen they were cappin,” he penned on the social media platform. “Still let a article come out to paint this negative image on me & my fam. & banned my brother from home games for a year. Unbelievable.” Not only that, but Bass also confirmed that an investigation into that post-game incident concluded that they involved no weapons in the incident.
Overall, this could greatly impact Morant’s role on the team, and their morale and structure moving forward. The next two games might be a definitive moment for his career or even for the Grizzlies’ season. With all this happening around him, it’s no surprise that he deactivated his Twitter and Instagram accounts after news of the investigation and suspension. Hopefully, whether it’s his own recklessness or that of his peers, he can work towards staying out of trouble. As the NBA world reacts and opinions differ on his situation, Grizzlies fans are concerned first and foremost for his well-being. Regardless of your take, stick around on HNHH for more updates on this story and the latest news from Ja Morant.
The Grizzlies Star Deactivates His Socials
Ja Morant Under NBA Investigation For Seemingly Flashing Gun
The NBA opened an investigation into Ja Morant after he seemingly flashed a gun on his Instagram Live. Moreover, these accusations come after serious allegations that he threatened a 17-year-old with a firearm during an altercation at a pick-up game. Furthermore, the Grizzlies star went live on Friday night (March 3) after their loss to the Denver Nuggets, and seemed to be out at a strip club. In the clip, Morant danced around shirtless and rapped along to YoungBoy’s “Bring ‘Em Out.” Briefly, he held up what seemed to be a gun to the camera.
While it’s unclear whether it was a real firearm or not, the league sought to investigate the incident. “We are aware of a social media post involving Ja Morant and are investigating,” wrote an NBA spokesperson in a statement. Also, they must have the alleged pick-up game at Morant’s Tennessee home in mind as well, as he faced accusations of threatening a young man with a gun. However, following a police investigation, officials declined prosecution in the end due to a lack of evidence. While this next one might seem like a small point, he also did finger gun celebrations during a game against the Houston Rockets.
Ja Morant Under NBA Investigation
Such actions and expressions could still fall out of line with league standards of behavior and decency. Still, it’s hard to argue that Ja is anything but a star at this point. As people reacted to the threat allegations, many still stood by his incredible playing. So far in his Memphis career, he helped bring them to two playoff appearances with a 22.5 points per game average. However, that visibility also comes with responsibility, and as such his actions are falling under heavier scrutiny from many.
Meanwhile, the 23-year-old recently responded to accusations of wrongdoing and similarly reckless behavior against his friend group, denying all claims. Moreover, people alleged that someone in his group pointed a red dot at a gaggle of Indiana Pacers fans. Whether it’s the wrong crowd or the wrong mentality, it seems like the star guard will have to work hard to clean his image. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for updates on these allegations and the latest from Ja Morant.
