Rapper Gunplay Arrested For Violating Restraining Order

MIAMI, FLORIDA – Rapper Gunplay was arrested again Wednesday.

The rapper, whose real name is Welton Morales, was arrested after violating a restraining order that was granted to his wife, Vonshae Taylor-Morales, according to TMZ.

Gunplay was on his way to her home when the Florida Department of Corrections Community Control received a ping from his ankle monitor. Sources say police managed to get Vonshae’s residence before the 44-year-old rapper could interact with his ex, and he was immediately taken him into custody.

He was booked into Miami-Dade County Jail and will remain behind bars until his Nov. 7 court date.

This is Gunplay’s eighth time violating the restraining order, which prohibits him from coming within 500 feet of his estranged wife.

His arrest comes two months after the rapper allegedly pointed an AK-47 at his wife and their newborn daughter. He was charged with false imprisonment, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and abuse of a child with no great bodily harm.
