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.

VIENNA (AP) — Three people believed to be part of a human smuggling operation were arrested overnight in Hungary in connection with the deaths of 71 migrants found in a refrigerated truck abandoned on Austria's main highway, law enforcement officials said Friday.
It was the latest tragedy in a year that has seen tens of thousands of people risking everything to seek a better life or refuge in wealthy European countries.
At least 2,500 have died, mostly at sea, where another tragedy was unfolding Friday as Libyan authorities counted bodies from two ships that capsized off the coast of that country. The U.N. refugee agency said 200 were missing and feared dead.
In Austria, officials said they are still investigating but believe the migrants suffocated in the truck. Investigators found a Syrian travel document, indicating that at least some of the dead were refugees fleeing violence in Syria, though it wasn't clear if some were from elsewhere.
The 71 included eight women and four children, the youngest a girl between 1 and 2 years old, the others boys aged 8 to 10. Authorities initially estimated the death toll at 20 to 50, but raised it after towing the truck to a refrigerated warehouse and counting the partially decomposed bodies.
Migrants fearful of death at sea in overcrowded and flimsy boats have increasingly turned to using a land route to Europe through the Western Balkans. They start in Greece, which they can reach via a short boat trip from Turkey, then move on through Macedonia, Serbia and into Hungary, where thousands have been crossing the border every day, crawling over or under a razor-wire fence meant to keep them out.
Most go from there to other countries in the European Union, sometimes paying smugglers to drive them, but the discovery of the bodies in the truck showed there is no truly safe path.
Police in Hungary said that as of Tuesday, 776 suspected human smugglers had been detained so far this year, compared to 593 all of 2014. In the southern part of the country, police said they had found 18 Syrians near an overturned van on the M5 highway between Szeged and Budapest early Friday. Ten were taken to the hospital for treatment while the driver, a Romanian, was treated for head injuries and then taken into custody on suspicion of human smuggling.
The truck with the 71 migrants inside was found parked in the safety lane of the highway from Budapest, Hungary, to Vienna on Thursday. It was not clear how long the bodies had been in it, but police believed they may already have been dead by the time the truck crossed the border into Austria overnight Wednesday. Autopsies were being conducted, said state prosecutor Johann Fuchs, with results expected in several days.
At least two of those arrested are Bulgarian citizens, while the third has Hungarian identity papers, police said. One is the truck owner, a Bulgarian of Lebanese descent, while two others were apparently taking turns driving, said Hans Peter Doskozil, chief of police in Burgenland province, where the truck was found. He said police believe that the suspects were part of a larger Bulgarian-Hungarian human smuggling ring.
Fuchs said it was unclear when the suspects would be extradited by Hungarian authorities, who were looking to see if they had jurisdiction in the case. Romania's foreign ministry also said that 12 Romanians had been detained in Hungary on suspicion of human trafficking and Hungarian authorities are seeking to arrest them.
Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner said the tragedy "should serve as a wake-up call ... for joint European action" in dealing with the torrent of migrants flocking to Europe. Melissa Fleming, spokeswoman for the U.N. refugee agency in Geneva called the tragedy "absolutely shocking."
"We believe this underscores the ruthlessness of people smugglers who have expanded their business from the Mediterranean Sea to the highways of Europe. It shows they have absolutely no regard for human life, and that they are only after profit," she said. "It also shows the desperation of people seeking protection or a new life in Europe, and their only means is to submit themselves to these criminals."
