The rapper is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment, and child abuse over an alleged attack on his wife.
When she attempted to leave the apartment, Taylor-Morales says he blocked her and attempted to grab the baby by the neck and head. When she screamed for help, the rapper allegedly left the apartment, allowing her to flee the scene. Police later arrived, arresting Gunplay and recovering the AK-47.
On Instagram, Taylor-Morales recounted the same incident and said that she would be filing for divorce. “I just want everyone to know my daughter and I are safe,” she wrote. “Unfortunately, Richard is back using and developed a very bad drinking problem. I’ve tried everything in my power to help him and love him. This is a demon he has to overcome on his own. At this point I really believe it’s too late.
An initial hearing before a judge had been scheduled for Monday morning to determine whether Gunplay would be released on bond, but it’s unclear if it took place. The rapper could not immediately be located for comment.
