Despite earlier claims of the rapper turning himself in two days ago, new reports say he was arrested by New York police three days ago and is now in jail.

Roberto Guzman Rosado Jr. – better known as the rapper Tru Life – was arrested three days ago for the June 15 stabbings that left a second victim in critical condition. Rosado, 33, is jailed in Rikers Island on charges of murder, assault and weapons possession, police said. The stabbings occurred around 9:30 a.m. as part of an ongoing dispute that began earlier at the Club Pasha on W. 46th St., police sources said. (New York Daily News)

Reports spread online yesterday (June 24) which said he turned himself in Tuesday (June 25) night.

Hip-Hop personality Miss Info has also reported on the incident.

Tru Life, along with his brother and 2 other associates, have turned themselves into NYPD for questioning. They are suspects in last week’s 9:30am stabbing of two men in an apartment lobby on the east side of Manhattan. A 30-year-old man, named Jason Black, is still being treated at Bellevue Hospital, but an 18-year-old man died from his injuries. (Miss Info TV)

Tru Life’s brother has been associated with other high profile violence cases, including an altercation with Cam’ron.

According to investigators, the men retaliated against the earlier shooting of a man named Michael Slater. The man authorities say is a suspected drug dealer was shot in abdomen outside nightclub Pacha, and is listed in critical condition. The brother, whose name has also not been disclosed, was first introduced to hip-hop fans in 2007 courtesy of the punching incident between then rivals Tru Life and Cam’ron. According to various reports, the brother joined Tru Life in confronting Cam’ron outside of Club Stereo and after an escalation of words and some reports alleging the brother even threatened to shoot up the venue, Tru Life assaulted the Dipset founder with a single punch to the face.

  1. Nobody is checking for Frenchy, nobody is checking for Cassie, and Bad Boy records ain’t been hot since Biggie died. Stick to making water and Ciroc and just disappear from the rap world. Thank you in advance, Snake ass nigga.

    • Mase found Jesus, last I heard from Loon, he found Allah over at Mecca n Shyne is a Jew…..wtf is goin on over there at Bad Boy?!?!

      oh, I predict Red Cafe will convert to Buddhism soon! lmao

    • lol shit crazy over there homie, Pimp Diddy or Daddy, i don’t even know which one to use on him…. any way he’s pimping all these niggas into a very bad situation.

    • Bullshit. All of those people made money. Diddy is those only one thats still working on shit. Mary still doing her thing. Faith aint broke. Just because people dont throw money up in your face, dont mean they broke. Maybe they just wanna live happy.

    • And Fry Montana his latest victim, either he fucked d person up( make them searchin for different gods, Allah, Jesus, Budda or Vodoo ) or d person just end up like Biggie.

    • Get yo fact straight home boy, Mary J havin issue wit Tax and Bank loan, dont know much of Faith though, but last i heard Diddy ain’t helpin much. Then answer for LIl Kim, Loon, confused Shyne, 112, and others? Mr Bullshit!

    • Bad boy was at the top right after Biggie died. Where you been? Aint you 12 years old or something? GTFO

    • WTF do tax issue have to do with Diddy? Thats on the artist and the accountant. Diddy help them make money. Lil Kim spending money on new faces. shyne cant come back to America. I dont keep up with Loon.

    • Mary j blije was signed to andre harell originally not puffy

    • Thats because you act like a bitch. you run your mouth like the lady down the street. you a fake ass female.

  2. LOL that’s why I find Hip Hop a joke. Everybody is a king. Everybody is the best. Everybody has the best album.

    Why can’t all rappers just be honest and pick one rapper out there who is really the best or dropped the best album.

    P Diddy is a joke. How can he go from signing the second best rapper of all time to signing probably the worst rapper of all time. Hip Hop sucks.

  3. Disparaging an Icon! a founder, a guru, someone that has done it all…number 1 singles, number one albums, group album, producer, executive producer, singer, dancer, rapper, father, killer, number one perfume, clothing companies, sweat shops, a family man,: Waters bottle deals, and Ciroc deal.
    From the look of thing he actually able to work with others Mark Whalbherg and countless other artiste and from the look of things, he can take all your abuse from the days of TUPAC the great and still do what it take to get good deal.

  4. Yall some hatin ass bitches. I’m not a big fan of French, but to be honest, I aint ever heard him come out with a song that wasnt hot. Everybody is a critc. yall bum ass bitches aint even heard the album yet.

    • When you have 3 of the hottest people in the game on the track of course it will be hot. French is the only nigga that people support based on features. If Excuse My French is Wild n Out, he is Nick Cannon

    • excuse me? haven’t heard a song from french that ain’t hot? having 3 of the “hottest ppl in the game on the track” makes it hot? cmon y’all gotta be fooling urselves…first off…rick ross, drake and weezy ARE NOT 3 of the hottest rappers in the game…and secondly…even if they really were the hottest…still doesn’t take away the fact that Pop That was a horrible corny track…the beat was bad, the hook was bad and every verse was horrible too…freaks was also terrible…french montana is a terrible rapper as a whole…stop dickriding already…u guys are delusional…

    • Oh I neverrrrrrrrr said he was hot, in fact on another post I was yelling at NY niggas for putting him out. I said people think its hot. Comprehend my post clown!

    • my post was half towards urs and half towards moparking….the first part was towards ur post where u claimed that lil’ wayne, drake and ross are the hottest in the game…and just cuz they’re popular and all appear on the same track together still doesn’t mean it’s a good track…regardless of wat ppl think…according to any hip-hop head…it’s a horrible bird man-ish kinda track….the rest of my post was towards moparking where i claim that french montana is a terrible rapper in every single way and that none of his songs which i’ve heard so far have been good…

    • crank that was a hit…does it mean that it’s hot? all of french montana’s tracks so far have been terrible…

    • please don’t call anyone silly but urself…u just called french montana’s tracks hot…u sir are pathetic…

    • well. All his tracks were hot. You dont have to like him but all of the tracks were hot. Your name should be stupid hoe.

    • “sit your silly ass down somewher. no mo comment fo yu.”

      and look who just commented on my post?

      “All his tracks were hot”

      LOL! u know nothing about hip-hop u poptard….go listen to 2 chainz or chief keef…no one can take u seriously…
