In a recent interview wit h the “We Are Flatbush” podcast, Dylan claims that The Chappellle Show skit “f***ed up” his career and says that he never named himself five times as the Top 5 as the comedian joked in the skit.

According to a report from TMZ, Making The Band’s Chopper was arrested for sex trafficking earlier this month with authorities claiming that the former reality star was a pimp.

Authorities combed Chopper aka Young City’s IG, where they found several posts related to pimping including an image of him sitting on a plane with the caption, “Sending em.”

AN investigation was then launched after authorities saw evidence of a potential sex trafficking operation on his social media.

The undercover says they had an “interview” with Chopper and after passing the test, Chopper told them he would make them part of his “team” and “stable.” The officer claims that Chopper began being aggressive with them and began ordering them to pack their belongings and meet him in Charlotte, N.C. to become a part of his “stable”.

With the social media posts, DMs and phone calls, authorities had enough evidence to arrest Chopper and charge him with felony sex trafficking.
