Troy Ave pleaded not guilty to the charge and was denied bail by a Manhattan Criminal Court judge. Last week a video was released by the NYPD showing a man they say is the Brooklyn rapper firing a gun inside a room full of people backstage T.I.’s concert in NYC. He denied any wrong doing.

Meek Mill is dealing with legal issues of his own. He is currently serving a 90-day house arrest sentence for probation violation after he violated his probation from his drug and gun conviction dated back to 2009.
