Police were suspicious and found Blackmon later sitting inside his suburban SUV while the show was going on and discovered a pair of semi-automatic pistols.
He was then arrested on criminal possession of a firearm, ammo and switchblade charges. NYPD officers added insult to injury when they gave Blackmon a ticket for illegally parking out in front of Irving Plaza.
Most recently, GloRilla’s embarked on the Anyways, Life’s Great across America where she’s hit dozens of venues of adoring fans. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been entirely smooth. Glo and her team faced a few issues along the way. There was the issue with a promoter who thought he paid for a performance but only got a walkthrough of the Memphis rapper. This incident led to a back-and-forth on social media that her CMG boss, Yo Gotti, chimed in on. Then, GloRilla called out a fan who threw a jacket in her face during her performance.
GloRilla had a successful tour stop at NYC's Irving Plaza Wednesday night ... but we're told outside the venue NYPD was busy arresting the "F.N.F." rapper's driver for gun possession.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Hip Hop ... NYPD officers say they observed a man named Cameron Blackmon set off a metal detector inside the venue.
After investigating the scene, they found Blackmon sitting in the driver's seat of a Suburban ... as well as two semi-automatic pistols.
We're told officers arrested Blackmon for criminal possession of a firearm, ammo and a switchblade ... and also gave him a parking ticket for posting up in the neutral zone in front of Irving Plaza!!!
According to TMZ, the NYPD busted her driver during her performance at Irving Plaza for gun possession. A man, who police identified as Cameron Blackmon, reportedly set off a metal detector inside the venue. However, NYPD later saw him in a Suburban with two semi-automatic pistols. Police arrested Blockmon during this time on criminal possession of a firearm, ammo, and a switchblade, in addition to a ticket for parking the vehicle in a neutral zone in front of the venue.
It may have been a little chaotic outside of the venue but GloRilla fans surely had an excellent evening. The “Blessed” rapper had New York City’s finest in the building for her tour stop. Buzzing up-and-comer, Lola Brooke, took shots with GloRilla before emerging on stage to perform “Don’t Play With It.” However, the big surprise came towards the end of the night when she brought out Cardi B to perform “Tomorrow 2.” We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding Blockmon’s arrest. Inside the venue, it was a very different scene ... GloRilla was taking shots with her newfound friend, Lola Brooke (whom she later brought out), and capping things off with a surprise Cardi B cameo as they performed their hit song, "Tomorrow 2"!!!
Glo's 'Anyways, Life's Great' tour has been full of enough stuff to fill an artist's memoir. The buzzing star has had a drink and jacket thrown at her and is now dealing with this.
We reached out to Glo's team for their side of things ... we'll report back when they speak!!!
