On Sunday, Gunplay's wife, Vonshae Taylor-Morales, posted a lengthy message on her Instagram page explaining the harrowing incident that occurred in their home that led to her husband's arrest.

"I just want everyone to know my daughter and I are safe," she began in her missive to her followers. "Unfortunately, Richard is back using and developed a very bad drinking problem. I've tried everything in my power to help him and love him."

[EPDC]

Should have read that Bible he kept on his dash....

Is he gonna set up a GoFundMe for his case?

This dude is a fucking mess..

 

[BrownTurd]

This is no surprise. The day he went on camera and gifted Ross a chain after his wife had to raise money for a surgery to save her child’s life, he was on borrowed time.

 

[parisian]

she married a cokehead... what did she expect?

 

[34real]

Gunplay is now known as Jailplay....is Ross going to not buy another car and get him a lawyer?

 

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

This is the problem with women, they wanna get married but don't take their marriage vows seriously.

She married a man named "Gunplay" who has a problem with coke, liquor, gun play and violence and she's ready to call it quits.

A recipe for trouble.... that marinated well

This is a statement from a very hurt woman. He crushed her heart when he gifted that chain to Rick Ross and she was left to raise money for their child life saving surgery.

When she saw that, she had to be devastated

Nigga what are you talking about? You just over there

Rick Ross already gifted him the money for the child and the chain was a thank you on camera to Ross.

No doubt she's definitely hurt though .

[^SpiderMan^]

She got what she signed up for. She is a cute rachet who wanted a tatted up dude, with a heavy drug use history named "Gunplay". Not that surprising that he would get high and wave a gun at her.

I've never heard of him but a woman I follow on TikTok was talking about him and said something like his wife wanted him to get off PlayStation or whatever game he was on and he got mad and put a gun to her head, I think the kid was in there too and that's where the child abuse charge came from

They're doing too much, Gunplay will be aight. Their marriage is over but no one really believes that Gunplay would've killed the kid.

Plus he was on coke.

Or maybe I'm just the one that's not thinking too deeply about it.
