Da Band's Chopper Arrested and Charged With Sex Trafficking

Da Band’s Chopper Arrested and Charged With Sex Trafficking

Another “Bad Boy” has been struck with bad news recently as another Making the Band cast member has made headlines.

According to TMZ, the latest band member of Diddy‘s infamous “Making the Band” MTV series making headlines has been arrested and charged with sex trafficking earlier this month in Maryland. Kevin Barnes, who we know as Chopper, was arrested and is being extradited to Las Vegas to face sex trafficking charges in Nevada.

Legal documents were obtained by TMZ that state that an undercover vice detective in Nevada had posed as a sex worker and was contacted by Chopper through direct messaging on Instagram. Allegedly, the former rapper had made an offer for the detective to make money through prostitution.

After checking the Instagram account of Chopper, the detective observed several posts that were related to prostitution and pimping. There were posts where Chopper flashed his wealth and made references to being a pimp.

An investigation was launched by the undercover cop after viewing evidence on social media of a potential sex trafficking operation. The undercover officer alleges Chopper reached out and bragged about frequent traveling and possessing 7 homes across the country, including one in Las Vegas. Chopper also informed the undercover that Las Vegas was not a safe place to do business because law enforcement was cracking down.

They made phone contact and Chopper allegedly told them he would make them part of his “team” and “stable.” After several conversations, the officer felt they had enough evidence to charge Chopper with felony sex trafficking.

Last month, in an Instagram post, one of the members of Da Band, the collective of artists who were put together during the second season of the reality TV series, MTV’s Making the Band, aired his grievances against music mogul Sean Combs. He expressed having mental health issues and blames it on being in the series and the treatment he received at the hands of the Bad Boy founder.

Going to Instagram and reposting a clip another user posted, Da Band’s Freddy P acknowledged that the way he was treated made him never want to rap again. He feels his talent was snatched away from him, and all he was doing was chasing a dream.

Days after Freddy P posted, Diddy seemingly responded to Freddy’s claims by posting a cryptic message, telling his followers and possibly his critics to “STOP ALL YOUR CRYING.”
