Fredo Bang Arrested For Attempted Murder; Uses Mug Shot To Promote Single

Up and coming Baton Rouge rapper Fredo Bang is in some trouble.

He was arrested on January 3rd for second degree murder.

According to the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office, Bang and another suspect got into an argument with the victim at Bang's apartment on November 18.

Then they went to the victim's apartment, where the two suspects shot at the victim, missing. They fled the scene in Bang's car, which they promptly wrecked.

In addition to the attempted murder charge, Bang is being hit with illegal use of a weapon and aggravated criminal damage to property, with a bond set at $70,000

It's unclear if Bang has been able to make bail, but someone definitely used Bang's mug shot to promote his latest single 'Thuggin,' which was recorded before he was taken in.
