Police obtained a warrant and searched his home in Miramar where the rapper, whose real name is Maurice Young, was detained getting out of his car, according to an arrest affidavit from the Broward Sheriff’s Office. They found one gram of powder that field tested positive for cocaine, a 9mm Sig Sauer and a box of ammunition.
