Rapper Lefty Gunplay, well-known for his connections in the music industry, was recently apprehended in El Paso, Texas.

The arrest was caught on camera and circulated on social media, with a video posted by No Jumper on X (formerly Twitter). This development comes on the heels of a dispute over Gunplay’s entitlement to royalties for his work with Kendrick Lamar on the track ‘tv off’ from Lamar’s ‘GNX’ album.
Initially, reports suggested that Gunplay was not associated with a Performing Rights Organization (PRO), which would have prevented him from receiving royalties. However, it was later clarified that he had in fact signed with BMI, allowing him to receive his due payments.
