HangupsMusic.com – Houston, TX – In a significant development within the hip-hop community, federal authorities have reportedly apprehended NBA Ben10 and OG 3Three, the brother of prominent rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again. The arrests are directly linked to a violent shooting incident that occurred earlier this year and involved Detroit-based rapper AllStar JR. Sources indicate that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) took both artists into custody on Thursday, September 10th. The exact nature of the charges filed against them remains undisclosed at this time, though the arrests stem from an alleged attempted robbery that escalated into gunfire.
The incident in question took place on April 8th at a restaurant in Houston. Reports suggest that AllStar JR was the target of an attempted robbery. During the confrontation, AllStar JR is said to have retrieved a firearm, leading to a chaotic exchange of gunfire. This exchange tragically resulted in injuries to three individuals, including NBA Ben10. Investigations by Houston law enforcement subsequently revealed that NBA Ben10 sustained severe spinal injuries during the shooting, leaving him with what has been described as "irreversible paralysis of the lower extremities." These details emerged as part of felony charges filed against AllStar JR in Harris County Court, which included aggravated assault with an enhancement for a traumatic brain or spine injury.
AllStar JR himself was apprehended later in April in Michigan. He remains in federal custody and faces multiple charges. Beyond the aggravated assault charge in Harris County, he is also facing a federal charge for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Further details of the altercation suggest a disturbing escalation, with reports indicating that AllStar JR allegedly attempted to fire a shot at NBA Ben10’s head, but reportedly ran out of ammunition before he could do so.
Despite the severe consequences he has faced, NBA Ben10 has previously spoken out about the incident. In a social media video released in August, he expressed a surprising lack of animosity towards AllStar JR. Ben10 stated that he understood JR’s actions, describing them as a necessary response to the dangerous situation he found himself in. He articulated that while the circumstances unfolded poorly, he believed JR was simply acting to protect himself and manage the business at hand. This perspective highlights the complex and often perilous realities faced by artists within certain circles. Since the shooting, NBA Ben10 has reportedly been confined to a wheelchair, a stark reminder of the lasting impact of the event.
The arrests of NBA Ben10 and OG 3Three by the FBI underscore the seriousness with which federal agencies are treating this case. The involvement of the FBI suggests that the investigation has expanded beyond local jurisdiction, potentially involving interstate criminal activity or broader conspiracy theories. The inclusion of OG 3Three in the arrests, given his familial connection to YoungBoy Never Broke Again, further amplifies the attention surrounding this unfolding legal drama. The ripple effects of this incident continue to be felt throughout the music industry, prompting renewed discussions about safety, security, and the potential legal ramifications associated with criminal activities that intersect with the lives of recording artists. HangupsMusic.com has reached out to the FBI’s Houston field office for official comment on the ongoing investigation and the specific charges faced by NBA Ben10 and OG 3Three, but no immediate response has been provided. The legal proceedings are expected to be closely watched by fans and industry observers alike.
