Just days out from getting busted for packing heat, rapper Cory Gunz has a message for his fans: Guns are bad news.
“Guns aren’t cool. And jail? It’s not hot,” said the 24-year-old rapper after he was sprung from Bronx Criminal Court, where he was arraigned on gun charges Sunday night.
Gunz, born Peter Pankey Jr., was caught with an unregistered and loaded 9-mm. Taurus handgun in the Bronx, about a mile away from where he grew up in Crotona Park East, police said.
The gun — found inside Gunz’s tan backpack — was cocked and ready to go, with one live bullet in its chamber and two additional bullets in the clip, according to the criminal complaint.
His dad, Bronx emcee Peter Gunz, says the situation is “sickening.”
“It’s very possible that my son is going to jail on a first offense, on his first mistake ever,” he said.
Now out on $30,000 bail, Gunz hired attorney Xavier Donaldson — who also represents other hip-hop artists like Rick Ross — to fight the felony charges. Gunz plans to plead not guilty, Donaldson said.
Then he’s packing his suitcase to work on new tracks with mentor Lil Wayne in Miami, he told the Daily News.
He isn’t talking about his arrest, but says: “Everybody makes mistakes, it happens to the best of us. I just don’t want to make any more.”
The younger Gunz soared to stardom with his MTV “Son of a Gun” reality show. He was flung into the spotlight in 2010 with his lyrical flow on Lil Wayne’s “6 Foot 7 Foot” hit.
He said Lil Wayne had reached out to his family.
“He extended his hand in whatever he could do to help,” Gunz said.
“I’ve just been thinking, talking to my dad and just trying to figure out my next step,” he said.
Gunz and his dad recently started Gunz Against Guns — a foundation to warn kids of the dangers of firearms.
