According to Gunplay, he smelled like liquor because his wife poured it on him.

Last month, Gunplay was arrested in Miami, facing charges related to domestic violence, child abuse, and more. According to his wife, Vonshae Taylor-Morales, the rapper allegedly pointed a rifle at her while she was holding their six-month-old child. She claims that she had asked him to quiet down while he was playing Xbox, and things escalated from there. Taylor-Morales later took to social media to share her story, announcing that she'd be filing for divorce.

“Unfortunately [Gunplay] is back using and developed a very bad drinking problem," she wrote. "I’ve tried everything in my power to help him and love him. This is a demon he has to overcome on his own. At this point I really believe it’s too late.” In a later social media post, she also alleged that Gunplay had choked the child.

Gunplay Alleges His Wife Hit Him With A Bottle

Now, some newly-surfaced body cam footage from the night of the incident shows Gunplay giving an officer his side of the story. The rapper appears seated at a table, claiming that his wife was the one to escalate the situation. He says that she came into the room he was in and started filming him and talking about getting a divorce. He then alleges that she hit him with a full bottle of liquor, claiming that she was in a "drunk rage." Gunplay tells the officer that amid the alleged blow, the bottle spilled onto him, explaining why he may smell like alcohol.

Nowhere in the clip does he mention a gun, or getting physical with his wife and child. Taylor-Morales now has a restraining order against him, and is in the process of a divorce. As of last week, she says he continues to have friends and family contact her asking to drop the charges. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Gunplay.
