Lil Pump Arrested

Why was Lil Pump arrested? Find out here.

Lil Pump has been arrested for firing a gun in his own home.

The story is that three men broke in to the mumble rapper's San Fernando Valley house at around four PM on Wednesday evening, Feb 14th (2018). As the three men entered the 17-year-old's residence, they fired shots.

Lil Pump's manager, who wasn't at the scene at the time of the incident, told the local police force one of the intruders fired a gun at Lil Pump once they had made their way through the door.

After responding to a 911 call, police arrived at the scene to find no one but Lil Pump at the address. Instead, they found a single bullet hole in Lil Pump's front door and the mumble rapper home alone smoking weed.

On interviewing him, they found issues with Lil Pump's story. Thing's just weren't adding up.

The police say the trajectory of the bullet hole shows that the shot was fired from inside the pink-haired star's home, and not from the outside as Lil Pump was claiming. The police returned to the "Gucci Gang" idol's home later that evening with a search warrant where, while searching Lil Pump's apartment, they came across an unloaded hand gun hidden in the plants below the rappers balcony. They then went on to find ammunition for the gun as they continued their search through his gaff.

Everything that the police discovered, along with Lil Pump's not-so-watertight story, led the investigating officers to believe that Lil Pump fired the weapon while he was home alone—quite likely doing "dumb high sh*t" with a loaded weapon. He was arrested for discharging a firearm in an inhabited place.

To add further to Lil Pump's troubles, the police also found weed stashed in the apartment and are now investigating his mother "for endangering a minor and having an unsecured gun at home."

The platinum-selling mumble rap star, who has a new mix tape, dubbed Harvard Dropout, impending, now finds himself standing with his ass against the wall in in Sylmar Juvenile Hall in Sylmar, California. Though his team remains adamant with the truth of their initial claim—that Lil Pump was defending himself against heinous intruders looking to cause the rapper harm, and that there is CCTV evidence of the intrusion as well as proof that Lil Pump hit one of the intruders in a 17-year-old gangster shoot-out. The fact remains that, as of yet, no actual evidence has been found to support the claims made by the stoned rapper.

Whether Lil Pump acted in self-defense or, whether he was just high as f*ck, doing stupid sh*t with a loaded gun when mommy was out, is indifferent. It begs the question: is mumble rap (I refuse to call it hip-hop as hip-hop has a political culture and peaceful rhymes at its core, and mumble rap seems to simply be the ignorance of youth) really a genre of music that we want our kids listening to?

Mumble rap does nothing for society other than to degrade women by labelling them b*tches and incite unjustified and rather obnoxious violence and anti-social behaviour. Is that the world we want to live in? one where money means more than respect, where new mothers are referred to as b*tch by their absent sauce drinking baby daddies, where twerking your booty is the new foxtrot and Henny and handguns the new culture.

Come to think of it, Henny & Handguns—maybe that'll be my debut mumble rap album, my new A.K Young Sarchi. Maybe it'll go something like this:

"10 K in the raaa-ri;

these b*tches got me lean;

Henny f*ckin' wi ma steez;

I'ma f*ck Cardiii-b;

B*tch f*ck it on her knees;

Henny and handguns f*ckin' wi ma steez;

F*ckin' wi ma steez;

B*tches got me lean;"
