After being accused of pointing a AK-47 at his wife and baby during an argument, it is now being reported that the rapper Gunplay has lost custody of his newborn daughter.
According to TMZ, the final decision was made on Monday. The new outlet stated that the only way the decision can be reversed is if his estranged wife Vonshae Taylor-Morales requests the court grant him custody but after their recent fights on the internet it doesn’t seem like she might agree to doing that.
Sources close to the situation explained to TMZ that Gunplay is only allowed to see his daughter virtually through an app called “TalkingParents.” The source also stated that Vonshae is requesting child support but the amount that he will have to pay hasn’t been decided yet. That court hearing will take place at a later date.
As we previously shared, The 44-year-old “Love & Hip Hop Miami” star (real name Richard Morales Jr.) was arrested Sunday in the Florida city on charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment and child abuse, records show. He allegedly threw glass cups and bottles at wife Vonshae Taylor-Morales, forcing her to cover their 6-month-old daughter with a blanket to protect her from flying glass, according to an affidavit obtained by Law & Crime.
He then pressed an AK-47 against his wife’s chest and said, “I will blow your s—t back,” according to the Law & Crime. Taylor-Morales addressed the ordeal on her Instagram a few days later and said she and her daughter were “safe” — and that she was divorcing the rapper, against whom she had a restraining order. “Unfortunately Richard is back to using and developed a very bad drinking problem,” wrote the mom, who appeared alongside her husband in the VH1 reality show.

“I’ve tried everything in my power to help him and love him. This is a demon he has to overcome on his own,” she said, saying she believes it’s now “too late.”
She detailed how the fight started when she asked the rapper “to quiet down” because he was yelling while playing “Call of Duty,” waking the baby.
“He started going off on me,” she said — adding that “things went left fast.”
