Bizzy Banks has been arrested for illegal possession of weapons and drugs, as well as money laundering. He is currently waiting for his first court appearance.

According to the Daily Voice, Bizzy Banks, real name Majesty Blessed Moses, was arrested Friday morning. Authorities raided his Hackensack, New Jersey, home. The officers found more than two pounds of marijuana and $2,750 in cash. They also found a revolver “loaded with hollow-point bullets.” The investigation was led by Detective Sgt. John Dalton, detectives Mark Carrillo Sergio Raneli and John Dalton, along with the Bergen County Regional SWAT team and the NYPD.

The Detective Captain told the Daily Voice that Banks is in the Bergen County Jail, where he is waiting for his first court appearance. He is being charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia, as well as money laundering.

This is not Banks’ first time in jail. He was also there in 2019 though, and the reason why is unknown. This was back when he just started being noticed in the Brooklyn Drill Scene.

In 2020, with an interview with DJ Booth, Bizzy Banks opened up about his family life.

“… My older brother and my father going to jail when I was younger, it just made me become older at a young age because those two were the only two males in the house really,” he explained. “It was [just] me and my mom after a while. So, after that, I had to get on my gritty shit. Growing up where I’m from, you can’t slack in no way possible. I had to look at life differently.”

YoungBoy Never Broke Again now has an empty YouTube channel.

Last Saturday, without so much as an announcement, all the videos on the 22 year-old rapper’s page disappeared. Indeed, no statement has yet come from YouTube, or YoungBoy himself.

Though boasting some ten million subscribers, the YouTube page is now nonetheless devoid of videos. In addition to this, total view count for the videos added up to over nine billion. What’s more, the Louisiana rapper is one of the most-streamed hip hop artists on YouTube, just behind Drake and Juice WRLD.

The Streaming Graveyard

It is not uncommon for artists to be removed from streaming services. Back in August, legendary rapper Fat Joe’s What Would Big Do 2021? disappeared from streaming sites. Rappers like Boosie Badazz, Azelia Banks, and Lil Reese have all had content removed. However, these were due to controversies and various social cancellations. So far as anyone can tell, YoungBoy’s content was simply taken down without comment. The account itself was a major money-maker for NBA, so it seems unlikely that he would have removed his own videos.

YoungBoy in Autumn

Prior to this, November had been a good month for YoungBoy. He put out a compilation album entitled Never Broke Again: The Compilation, Vol. 1, featuring rappers like Meechy Baby and P Yungin. And just last week, he released a new single, “Safe Then Sorry (Interlude)”, which had already racked up a million views on YouTube at the time of removal.

Last month, the “Bandit” rapper was released from prison, following him posting $1.5 million in bail, relocating from Louisiana to Utah. He remains under house arrest in Utah, facing numerous federal weapons and drug charges stemming from an incident in Los Angeles, California earlier this year.
