Fredo Bang — born Fredrick Givens II — was arrested alongside his Miami Lakes roommate and fellow rapper Lit Yoshi. The Def Jam Records signee and Yoshi are reportedly members of Top Boy Gorilla, which has been entrenched in a feud with NBA YoungBoy’s crew.
According to the Miami Herald, Yoshi is wanted in connection to a 2019 shooting targeting YoungBoy outside the Trump International Beach Resort in Sunny Isles Beach, which saw YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s girlfriend shot and one 43-year-old bystander killed by a stray bullet. Police are yet to charge anybody in the shooting.
