Yung Joc: a fugitive from the law?

The Yung Joc saga is growing more bizarre by the minute. Rapper Yung Joc, real name Jasiel Robinson, was a no-show at his arraignment hearing in Cleveland today on felony charges of carrying a concealed weapon.

Yung Joc was arrested on Sunday morning at a security checkpoint at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport after a loaded gun was found in his carry-on bag. Yung Joc was detained just as he was about to board a Delta Airlines flight to Atlanta. Joc was released on $50,000 bond on Monday.

I spoke to his manager Rico Brooks last night by phone. Rico told me Joc was at home with his family (yesterday in Atlanta) enjoying the holidays and that his label advised Joc not to make any comments to the media. Of course I reminded Rico that I am a friend – not the media.

Rico promised me he would talk to Joc about speaking with me – as he was going to be with him today. Rico didn’t mention a court hearing today. A Cleveland judge issued a warrant for Yung Joc’s arrest following the missed hearing, and Joc’s bond was revoked.

This is so out of character for Joc and I am at a loss to explain how these set of circumstances could happen to such a nice guy. Associates of Yung Joc say his travel bag was packed by someone else and Joc had no knowledge of the gun.

But what about the persistent rumors that Joc’s camp and T.I.‘s camp are at odds with each other following T.I.’s arrest on weapon’s charges in October? Word is the bodyguard who snitched on T.I. to the feds was referred to T.I. by someone in Joc’s camp.

All he had to do was show up in court – how difficult could it have been? That’s the kind of dummy-move that makes a judge want to make a fool sit down for a while. Joc’s not out of character – he’s just like the rest of ’em.

Hip hop espionage? Have they been reading Myra Panache’s short stories?
vgeezy

I don’t think anyone living outside of Atlanta cares about Yung Joc/TI/Tiny/Monica….That is strickly ATL crap.
CANT TAKE IT NO MORE

NOW THAT MORE OF THE STORY IS SLOWLY UNFOLDING, I THINK HE WAS SET UP

WHY WOULD HE PACK A LOADED GUN IN HIS LUGGAGE KNOWING HE WAS GOING THROUGH THE AIRPORT?

I DONT THINK HE THAT CRAZY

THERE IS A POSSIBILITY BUT WHO WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS ESPECIALLY IN THE WAKE OF THE TI SITUATION?

AND NOW THERES AN ALLEGED LINK BETWEEN THE MAN WHO SET TIP UP AND YOUNG JOC

SOUNDS SUSPICIOUS

LOOKS LIKE THE FEDS HAVE TOTALLY INFILTRATED THE VARIOUS RAP CAMPS AND CREWS OUT HERE

RAPPER PRODIGY WHO IS SIGNED TO G UNIT WENT ON RECORD SAYING THAT WHEN HE GOT ARRESTED THE FEDS OFFERED HIM A DEAL IF HE HELPED THEM SET 50 UP.

I BELIEVE HIM

WHATS HAPPENING IN RAP AND IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY AT LARGE IS WHAT HAPPENS TO A PEOPLE WHO HAVE A HISTORY AND LEGACY OF BETRAYING ONE ANOTHER

THE ENEMY WILL DESTROY YOU FROM THE INSIDE

SOMETIMES I THINK ITS BETTER TO WALK ALONE IN THIS WORLD BECAUSE ITS ALWAYS THE PEOPLE CLOSEST TO YOU WHO BETRAY YOU
shhhh

This sounds like a publicty stunt. The bigger question is why would he try to take a gun to the airport? I’m sure this wasn’t his first time flying. Has never tried to carry a gun on the plane before that? What would have gave him the impression that he could have done that? The whole thing is just dumb, it’s like whos intelligence is these people trying to play on? Then his bond is only $50k. That’s only 5 g’s for him to get out. They probably paid a lawyer to play the “miscommunication” part too. I mean this is so transparent that it’s funny. Ha-ha-ha. It’s funny what people will do to pretend they hard, when real people can see the buster-ish nature about them just by looking at them.

I guess that part at the end about him possiby being “at odds” with TI or something was suppose to be the reason he’s carrying a gun? Lmao…

Streetwise I could see how there would be an issue between camps..everybody is vying for the king of the south title..so for someone in Joc’s camp to refer a snitch to another camp(TI)…yeah this could get real ugly
dblaq

@ CANT TAKE IT NO MORE

Sorry to tell you this but what is happening is what we are doing to ourselves, this has nothing to do with the FEDS. It is just time to PAY the PIPER. This is the problem with us black folks we always wanna play but we don’t want to pay. If you wanna play Gangster unfortunately jail, murder and death is a business requirement. You don’t actually think that you can run around and say how hard you are without being tested and most of the time these dudes fail that test because they were never built like that. You can’t think that you can play football without ever taking a hit? You may be the kicker play 2nd or 3rd string but it doesn’t matter because you never when and how hard it will come. I know for a fact that most of these rappers keep a toolie because its part of that image. So maybe he forgot that he had it but sorry buddy. If I make millions, I hired somebody to do the dirt for me.

So if you don’t want to pay the price DON’T Play!!!! I see this over and over. Chicks and Dudes are so intrigued by THUG LIFE but then when its time to own up, they crumble. I feel no sorrow or sympathy, I am saying this as some of my close friend are doing life bids but they decided and chose to do what they did
