Crunchy Black will have some explaining to do to a judge when Minnesota police catch up with him. The 38-year old Memphis rapper, real name Darnell Carlton, was scheduled to appear in November to face charges of cocaine possession and physically assaulting his girlfriend, but skipped out. A warrant has now been issued for his arrest.
The trouble started in March at a Minnesota hotel, according to TMZ.
Guests reported hearing a woman screaming and thumping noises coming from the rapper's room. When a member of the hotel's staff went to investigate they found out Black's girlfriend had locked herself in a bathroom.
She refused to come out until Black promised "stop beating her." Police were called and noticed that the victim had facial injuries. There was also blood on the bed and door frame.
During his arrest police found cocaine on the rapper. He was hauled off to jail and charged two felony counts of domestic assault and one felony count of drug possession
Black is a member of Da Mafia 6ix, formerly known as Three Six Mafia.

Rising star Tino has recently pushed the button his new street record "Hustlin' Muzik."
Iggy Azalea had a break out year in 2014. The 23-year old Sydney, Australia native released her debut album, The New Classic, in May. The project spawned the hits "Fancy" and "Work."
During that time she's received criticism from Lord Jamar, Azealia Banks and others for not being a real part of hip hop culture.
She also battled with ex-boyfriend Jefe Wine over a sex tape the two reportedly shot and music he allegedly stole from her computer when they were together, then later attempted to sell via an EP before Iggy's lawyer got it pulled from all retail outlets. A court case is pending.
During a new interview with Lisa Robinson of Vanity Fair, Iggy addresses those issues and more.
Lisa Robinson: Do you think it's weird for a white Australian girl to be a rapper?
Iggy Azalea: Well, I never thought it was strange. If you go back to the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley and Eminem—they've all basically done black music. I felt this wasn't that far from what we've seen in music history over and over again.
Do you think the criticism aimed at you is misogynistic?
Well, they don't say that stuff about Macklemore. So, yes, I think it has 100,000 percent to do with the fact that I have a vagina.
How did the success of “Fancy” change your life?
In every possible way. Some bad, some good. I can't walk down the street anymore, and I have to be very selective when I grocery shop. I went from having nothing to having everything I could possibly want. It's weird. It's almost scarily easy to quickly forget that you had nothing.
You said you had one pair of shoes for two years.
I did, and the leather would wear off and I would color them in with a marker to keep them looking black. I'm doing a shoe collaboration with Steve Madden now—when I first came to America I thought the Steve Madden brand was the pinnacle of high fashion, because the shoes were $200. And I thought, Who the fuck has $200 to buy shoes?
You live in L.A. with your boyfriend, the Los Angeles Lakers' Nick Young. Did you give him the nickname Swaggy P?
No. He named himself.
Can't you get him to change it?
I'm trying.
Twerking used to be part of your on-stage performances—how do you feel about that move now?
Sometimes things become part of pop culture, but they run their course. I think it's time for it to be over.
You said there's a side of you that's not cool. What did you mean?
I'm a homebody. I already did all my wild shit. And that will wear you out. I'm glad I did all that early, because now I have so much to talk about in my music, and I don't have to worry that I'm going to spiral out of control.
Wasn't there something on the Internet about you and a sex tape?
Every week I have some sort of crisis that involves the Internet. I do not have a sex tape; I would remember if I had a sex tape. But if I did have a sex tape it would be completely fucking fine and my own business.
So rumors like this would be the downside of “Fancy.”
Yes. Having my mother ask me or having people I love wonder if it's true. That would be the downside to “Fancy.”

Beanie Sigel has finally been released from the hospital after spending a month there recovering from a gunshot wound suffered on December 5, outside of his Pleasantville, New Jersey home.
Reports of the incident are sketchy. Sigel was reportedly returning home after dropping his kids off at school when he observed a fight. At some point the rapper was shot in the stomach. The bullet exited his back.
The former Roc-A-Fella Records artist is not believed to have been the intended target. The shooter has not been caught, but several suspects are being looked at, including Sigel's sister-in-law.
Doctors were unable to save one of the State Property boss' lungs. Upon his release from the hospital he was taken to Bacharach Institute for Rehabilitation in Pomona, New Jersey. He'll spend the next three months there learning how to live with one lung, according to TMZ.

(Reuters) - A vicious Mexican drug gang forced some members to eat the hearts of murder victims as part of a gruesome initiation rite to root out infiltrators, a government security official said on Tuesday, citing witness testimony.
For much of the past year, Michoacan, a mountainous, agricultural state in western Mexico, has been ravaged by fighting between drug gang henchmen and vigilantes who took up arms against the cartels but have since splintered into violent factions.
A mid-December shootout between two rival groups that killed 11 people has reignited fears the government is failing to control the state after flooding it with federal troops and pressing vigilantes into a fledgling rural police force.
The renewed fighting in Michoacan comes as President Enrique Pena Nieto faces his deepest crisis since taking office, following the apparent murder of 43 trainee teachers by a drug gang working with corrupt police in neighboring Guerrero state.
The incident sparked widespread protests against the government, compounded by conflict-of-interest scandals enveloping the president and his finance minister. Pena Nieto was expected to discuss Mexico's chronic violence with U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington on Tuesday.
The main gangs operating in Michoacan, La Familia Michoacana, and later offshoot the Knights Templar cartel, were founded by Nazario Moreno, or "The Craziest One," a cultish crime boss who was finally killed in March 2014 after the previous government declared him dead in 2010.
Nazario Moreno
Interviewed on local television, Alfredo Castillo, Michoacan's federal security commissioner, denied cannibalism was widespread, but said there were various testimonies indicating heart-eating was part of a macabre initiation Moreno used to root out moles or test his men's loyalty.
"The ritual ranged from dismembering people they intended to kill to sometimes serving up the heart," Castillo said.
He did not elaborate on who provided the testimony and did not specify when and where the alleged initiation rituals took place. Castillo could not immediately be reached for comment.
More than 100,000 people have been killed in gang-related violence in Mexico since 2007.

According to TMZ, Abraham believes she had an allergic reaction during the procedure causing her lips to swell considerably.
Abraham shared photos of the results and offered some advice via her Twitter page.

Widely considered to the be the best mixed martial arts fighter on the planet, Jon 'Bones' Jones is now facing the biggest fight of his career.
Various media outlets are reporting that the 27-year old tested positive for positive for benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine on December 4. The failed test came a month before Jones successfully defended his lightweight title against Daniel Cormier at UFC 182.
The substance is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency for in competition use. Because the positive test came out of competition, Jones' victory over Cormier will stand. He will not face disciplinary action by the UFC and will hold onto his belt.
Jones has issued a statement confirming he has checked into a drug rehabilitation facility:
"I want to apologize to my fiancée, my children, as well as my mother, father, and brothers for the mistake that I made. I also want to apologize to the UFC, my coaches, my sponsors and equally important to my fans. I am taking this treatment program very seriously."
UFC President Dana White issued a statement of his own supporting Jones' decision to get help.
"I am proud of Jon Jones for making the decision to enter a drug treatment facility. I'm confident he'll emerge from this program like the champion he truly is."

PARIS (Associated Press) — Masked gunmen shouting "Allahu akbar!" stormed the Paris offices of a satirical newspaper Wednesday, killing 12 people before escaping. It was France's deadliest terror attack in at least two decades.
With a manhunt on, French President Francois Hollande called the attack on the Charlie Hebdo weekly, whose caricatures of the Prophet Muhammed have frequently drawn condemnation from Muslims, "a terrorist attack without a doubt." He said several other attacks have been thwarted in France "in recent weeks."
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which the Paris prosecutor's office confirmed killed 12 people, including cartoonists.
France raised its security alert to the highest level and reinforced protective measures at houses of worship, stores, media offices and transportation. Top government officials were holding an emergency meeting and Hollande planned a nationally televised address in the evening. Schools closed their doors.
World leaders including President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel condemned the attack, but supporters of the militant Islamic State group celebrated the slayings as well-deserved revenge against France.
The Islamic State group has repeatedly threatened to attack France. Just minutes before the attack, Charlie Hebdo had tweeted a satirical cartoon of that extremist group's leader giving New Year's wishes. Another cartoon, released in this week's issue and entitled "Still No Attacks in France," had a caricature of an extremist fighter saying "Just wait — we have until the end of January to present our New Year's wishes."
Just before noon, multiple masked men armed with automatic weapons attacked the newspaper's office in central Paris, nearby worker Benoit Bringer told the iTele network. The attackers went to the second floor and started firing indiscriminately in the newsroom, said Christophe DeLoire of Reporters Without Borders.
"This is the darkest day of the history of the French press," DeLoire said.
Video images on the website of public broadcaster France Televisions showed two gunmen in black at a crossroads who appeared to fire down one of the streets. A cry of "Allahu akbar!" — Arabic for "God is great"— could be heard among the gunshots.
Luc Poignant of the SBP police union said the attackers left in a waiting car and later switched to another vehicle that had been stolen.
Obama's top spokesman said U.S. officials have been in close contact with the French since the attack. "We know they are not going to be cowed by this terrible act," spokesman Josh Earnest said.
On social media, supporters of militant Islamic groups praised the move. One Twitter user who identified themselves as a Tunisian loyalist of al-Qaida and the Islamic State group called the attack well-deserved revenge against France.
Elsewhere on the Internet, the hashtag #JeSuisCharlie was trending as people expressed support for weekly and for journalistic freedom.
Charlie Hebdo has been repeatedly threatened for its caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad and other controversial sketches. Its offices were firebombed in 2011 after a spoof issue featuring a caricature of the prophet on its cover. Nearly a year later, the publication again published crude Muhammad caricatures, drawing denunciations from around the Muslim world.
Wednesday's attack comes the same day of the release of a book by a celebrated French novelist depicting France's election of its first Muslim president. Hollande had been due to meet with the country's top religious officials later in the day.
