Gaulden already had quite the extensive arrest record. In 2016 the rapper was sentenced to a ten-year suspended prison term and a three-year active probation for a shooting over which he was initially charged with two counts of attempted murder. In 2019 he was arrested for assaulting a hotel worker, and he and his entourage were later alleged to be involved in a shooting that left one person dead.
Gaulden released his most recent album, TOP, just this month. The album gave the rapper his third number one album upon its debut.
