A favor for a friend wound up getting Indianapolis rapper and DV8 Records/Zaytown Sorority member, Robyn Fly, in a lot of trouble with the law.
TMZ reports that back in February, Robyn let Young Dro borrow her new Cadillac. Her only request was that he scoop her up later from her job at the Pink Pony strip club in Atlanta, so she could pick her child up from a babysitter.
Dro texts Fly and says he got pulled over by police and was being taken to jail. Fly used OnStar to track the vehicle. When she finds it Dro and several friends are still in it.
Afraid to approach the vehicle because she doesn't know the passengers or why Dro lied to her, Fly follows it for 4 hours before reporting it stolen.
Here's where the story gets even more bizarre.
Fly finally finds her car parked in an apartment complex, unoccupied. When she gets in it and begins to drive off the police stop her. She gets stopped by police because a bag of weed was in plain view and a stolen gun was found in the car.
She gets arrested, charged with drug trafficking and illegal weapons possession. Fly had to post $10,000 bond.
Fly later filed a grand theft auto report against Dro. He gets arrested and charged with theft by conversion, meaning he tricked Fly into letting him use the car and refused to give it back.
Both are still fighting their cases. Listen to Fly explain the entire bizarre story to DJ Smallz below.
While being interviewed onThe Breakfast Club earlier this week French Montana threw several shots 50 Cent's way.
50 doesn't see him as an equal and isn't impressed with what he's accomplished in the music business, but he responded to fan's questions about the "Pop That" rapper during a Hang w/ session on Saturday, August 29.
"I don't care about that nigga," 50 said. "Frenchy better stay with my name out his mouth. I get tired of hearing him then I'll make it so his mouth can't work. When I'm talking to Puffy I ain't talking to you nigga. Your name is Puffy? When he change his name to Puffy? That nigga got one song. He's a DVD guy man...makes videos. Frenchy's like, 'I'm a Ciroc Boy.' You need anything to try and make some sort of momentum 'cuz ain't nothing happening. [You're] ice cold baby."
The G-Unit Records boss also talked about "9 Shots," working with the hottest producers in the business for Street King Immortal, season 3 of Power, says Keith Murray is going to "eat" Fredro Starr in their upcoming battle and more.

HOUSTON (AP) — A sheriff's deputy in uniform was shot and killed Friday night while filling up his patrol car at a suburban Houston gas station, according to authorities.
Deputy Darren Goforth, 47, was pumping gas into his vehicle about 8:30 p.m. Friday when a man approached him from behind and fired multiple shots, Harris County Sheriff's Office spokesman Ryan Sullivan told The Associated Press. Once the deputy fell to the ground, the suspect fired more shots.
Police described the suspect as a dark-complexioned male who is believed to be between 20 and 25 years old, and stands about 5-foot-10 to 6-feet tall. He was wearing a white T-shirt and red shorts and driving a red or maroon pickup-style truck with an extended cab. Police said an intensive search for the suspect remained ongoing Saturday morning.
Suspected shooter
No motive was determined for the shooting. Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman said Goforth, who was a 10-year veteran of the force, had a wife and two children.
"In my 45 years in law enforcement, I can't recall another incident so cold-blooded and cowardly," Hickman said.

The Jared Fogle scandal is one very few people saw coming. The former Subway spokesman took a plea deal last week after confessing to having relations with over a dozen young girls. On top of his wife leaving him, Fogle is expected to serve a minimum of five years in prison and pay each of his victims $100,000, convictions many feel don't amount to the crime. If it were up to Lord Jamar, the man he looked at as "just the n*gga on a Subway commercial" would be hung by his own body parts. Though he didn't believe the accusations at first, upon second glance the rapper can understand all too clear how something of this nature could take place.
Lord Jamar also believes Fogle's actions may have resulted from long-standing emotional issues. Listen as he discusses the factors that may have led to Fogle's name being involved in the investigation and explains why he's going to have a hard time in jail.

Tran reached out to TMZ to give her side of the story. She said that she and Houston are just friends. Read her full response below.
"I'm bored and tired of this situation," said Tran. "I don't get it because I'm single. I thought we have all matured and moved on. Especially since Chris has been seen with multiple women since the breakup. I don't want anything to do with any type of violence or negativity."

Lyrics: What do you mean? When you nod your head yes But you wanna say no What do you mean? When you don’t want me to move But you tell me to go What do you mean? Said we’re running out of time Trying to catch the beat make up your mind What do you mean? Better make up your mind What do you mean? You’re so indecisive of what I’m saying Don’t want us to end where do I start First you wanna go left and you want to turn right First you up and you’re down and then between
Ohh I really want to know…
When you nod your head yes But you wanna say no What do you mean? What do you mean? But you tell me to go Said we’re running out of time What do you mean? Better make up your mind What do you mean? You’re overprotective when I’m leaving Trying to compromise but I can’t win You wanna make a point but you keep preaching You had me from the start won’t let this end First you wanna go left and you want to turn right Wanna argue all day make love all night First you up and you’re down and then between Ohh I really want to know… What do you mean? When you nod your head yes What do you mean? When you don’t want me to move But you tell me to go What do you mean? Said we’re running out of time What do you mean? Better make up your mind What do you mean?
