Gunplay Breaks His Silence After months of legal silence and house arrest, Miami rapper Gunplay has said exactly what's on his mind. In a recent phone interview with 99Jamz, the former Triple C's member detailed his headline-making 2023 arrest in which he allegedly shot an AK-47 at his ex-wife as she held their six-month-old baby. Now, he's turning the tables and pointing the finger back at her.
"She just turned to the other side like from out of nowhere," Gunplay said, blaming his ex, Vonshae Taylor-Morales. "I did my homework, and the things that she fell under were NPD. That's narcissistic personality disorder; they're living in their bubble and their reality."
It is the first time the rapper has spoken in depth about the incident, which resulted in several serious charges: aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment, and child abuse. The argument started with a simple request; police said, "Taylor-Morales had asked Gunplay to turn down the volume on his Xbox so the couple's baby could sleep."
The rapper, drunk at the time, started throwing glass and liquor bottles before picking up an assault rifle, officers said. Taylor-Morales reported that he then put the gun to her chest and threatened to shoot while she was holding their infant.
He also reportedly attempted to take the baby by clutching at the child's head and neck. Taylor-Morales escaped the residence and called her parents, who immediately called the police.
Gunplay, whose real name is Richard Morales Jr., was quickly arrested and later confined to house arrest. He has since lost custody of his daughter, who he can now only see in supervised virtual visits. However, according to records, that didn't prevent him from violating a restraining order eight times. The breach triggered an additional arrest for Taylor-Morales getting too close.
Yet Gunplay swears he's not the villain in the story. Instead, he presents the portrait of himself in "Catch and Kill" as blindsided. "Who does that, bro?" he said. "I was at Fleming's Steakhouse the night of, and then, like a couple of hours later, I woke up, and I was in a cell with two baloney sandwiches in a jumper.
In his retelling of the events, the seriousness of the charges seems to have been overshadowed by his ex-wife's mental health. It's the sort of narrative hiccup that's caused some raised eyebrows and some old wounds to be reopened.
Although the courts have spoken, Gunplay's recent statement has us yet again seeing that the saga between these two parties is far from complete. Ask around, and it's a matter of whether he's chasing redemption or revising the record. But for now, Gunplay's narrative skews less toward accountability and more toward accusation.
