The Flatbush native was also charged with second-degree assault, two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and first-degree reckless endangerment, police said. When he was arraigned on Monday his Bail was set at $500,000. The “Suburban PT 2” rapper reemerged on social media late Thursday and tweeted proclaiming his freedom.
