Cory Gunz is in police custody today after being arrested for possession of a loaded firearm. MTV is reporting that the 24-year old rapper was arrested around 2PM Saturday (January 28) in the Bronx.
Gunz was originally taken to the 43rd Precinct in the Bronx, then later transferred to Central Booking.
"It was definitely an illegal search," his father Peter Gunz told MTV. "I spoke to the arresting officer, and so far, what I'm hearing from him is that they got a phone call at the station saying they should 'look out.' According to [the officer], they didn't know he was Cory Gunz. They just saw a bunch of kids following him around."
New York has notoriously strict gun laws. Lil Wayne, who signed Cory to his Young Money label last year spent 242 days locked up in Rikers Island on a gun charge. Prodigy of Mobb Deep was released from prison in March 2011 after serving 3 years on similar charges.
Even though this is Cory's first offense his father is worried about what kind of punishment his son will face.
"To go to a precinct and see your son, your junior, in handcuffs, it's heartbreaking. Anytime you see your child in jail, in the cell, in handcuffs, it's very hard. He's walked down some of the same paths that I walked down, but you never want to see your kids go through what you went through," Peter said to MTV. "This is Cory's first offense, but sometimes they like to make an example out of rappers and people with any kind of celebrity to them."
With the big game just two days away the time has come for fans to make their picks on who they think will win Super Bowl 46.
The New York Giants (12-7) are led by quarterback Eli Manning, who threw for 4933 yards and 29 touchdowns this season with 16 interceptions.
The New England Patriots (15-3) are led by quarterback Tom Brady. Brady threw for 5235 yards and 39 touchdowns with 12 interceptions.
The Patriots defense has allowed 21.4 points per game, forced 34 turnovers while sacking the opposition's quarterback 40 times.
On The flip side, the Giants defense has given up 25 points per game, forced 31 turnovers and gotten to the other team's quarterback 48 times.
Both teams have potent offenses, but the edge would have to go to the Patriots in that department. They have higher per game averages in every statistical category on that side of the ball.
In the coaching department both teams are more than solid. A slight edge goes to the Patriots. Bill Belichick has coached the Patriots to five previous Super Bowls in his 12 years as head coach, coming away with three rings.
Tom Coughlin of the Giants has led them to only one previous Super Bowl in his eight years as head coach for the team, but it was an epic win over the Patriots in Super Bowl 42. The underdog Giants beat the Patriots 17-14 to prevent the Pats from going undefeated that season.
All the talking is almost done now. Both teams are making their final preparations for the game that will be played on Sunday, February 5 at 6:20 PM ET. It will air live on NBC.
The Patriots are 3-point betting favorites in Las Vegas.
So who is your pick to win the big game this year? Take our poll and sound off in the comment section below.

A blogger has done a lot of researching and believes he's solved the mystery of the date Ice Cube rapped about in his song "It Was A Good Day."
Donovan Strain of the Murk Avenue blog used six clues that centered around the song's lyrics to come up with his conclusion.
From the lyrics, “went to short dogs house,they was watching Yo MTV RAPS” Strain knew it had to be between "Yo MTV Raps" first air date of August 6, 1988 and the release date of "Good Day" as a single on February 23, 1993.
Ice Cube mentions the Los Angeles Lakers beating the Seattle Super Sonics in the song and the day being without smog. Strain found 12 dates between August 6, 1988 and February 23, 1993 where the Lakers beat the Sonics. He then narrowed those down to four days that didn't have smog.
“Got a beep from Kim, and she can f*ck all night," Cube rapped.
Beepers weren't available to the public until the 90's, leaving Strain with two possible dates, either January 18, 1991 or January 20, 1992. After finding out that Cube was busy filming the movie "Boyz in the Hood" from the middle of 1990 to early 1991, Strain found the date.
The ONLY day where: Yo MTV Raps was on air It was a clear and smogless day Beepers were commercially sold Lakers beat the SuperSonics and Ice Cube had no events to attend was… JANUARY 20 1992

Big Fendi, the owner of Come Up DVD fires all kinds of shots in the trailer for the next volume in the series.
Doggie Diamonds of www.ForbezDVD.com interviews Big Fendi, to get the real story behind his conflicts with Nicki Minaj, Jordan Tower, Gravy, Diddy and more.
Fendi goes in on Nicki Minaj for never compensating him for helping to launch her career. If you search youtube, you will see that before Nicki Minaj changed her image into the Young Money pop star she is today, she was featured on several Come Up DVD music videos as a hardcore rapper. According to Fendi he introduced her to Waka Flocka's mother Deb Antney, who became her manager for a while.
"Everybody know this DVD right here started Nicki Minaj's whole career," says Fendi. "I changed her name, I changed her image. Me and Nicki Minaj was arguing because I wanted her to be the sex symbol, talk about p*ssy and get n*ggas open, and she told me I was disgracing her name. But she [now] still talks about p*ssy and a$$, a$$, a$$. So is she following my blueprint? I gave her to Debbie [Antney] on some management sh*t--Waka moms and sh*t went left after that. Nicki goes to Atlanta and becomes a new Nicki after that. Debbie started questioning me as far what I ever did for her. So now, Nicki hanging out with Debbie," Fendi continues. "I call Nicki to tell her about my birthday party coming up. Nicki started telling me I need to holla at Debbie. Nicki piggybacked off Debbie to get with Puff [Diddy]. Puff aint did no more. Debbie aint did no more."
After all he did for Nicki, Fendi said he was expecting some form of financial compensation, but never got any.
"She gave me credits on her album, woopty-fucking-doo. 'Shout out to Fendi for teaching me everything.' I read that...I was like 'OK, but where the f*ck is the money at?' I'm the reason why Nicki Minaj is with Young Money," Fendi claims. "I spoke to Tez, who's the President of Young Money right before Wayne came home [From Rikers Island]. He was like, 'Yo Fen when Wayne gets home we gonna straighten you out.' N*gga I aint heard from Tez since."
Fendi sh*ts on his former artist Gravy, the rapper who played Biggie Smalls in the movie "Notorious" as being an ungrateful fraud with a fake image.
"Gravy was my son. Like a n*gga that I took care of like mt little boy," Fendi said. "N*gga's jewelry was fake, I got him real jewelry. Anything negative that come out of Gravy mouth about me, n*gga need to smack him for that. Cuz he aint built like that."
Fendi also accuses director Jordan Tower of stealing his videos and featuring them on WorldStarHipHop as his own and says Diddy's Dirty Money group name belongs to him.
Fendi says he will end a lot of people's careers when he releases Come Up DVD Volume 23 on March 3rd.
Shouts to Doggie Diamonds and M. Reck of Forbez DVD and Big Fendi.
