Peter Gunz: L&HH Passed on Chi Ali Because He Killed Someone

www.vladtv.com - In the continuation of this VladTV exclusive with Peter Gunz, the reality star gives poignant insight into how his previous hustle with "moving guns" affected his conscience and how it shapes his current perspective on guns. He also discusses why Bronx rapper Chi Ali didn't end up on Love & Hip Hop, plus his son Cory's brush with a gun charge.
Broaching the subject of guns, the reality star divulges, "My little hustle was guns -- moving guns, you know what I mean?' Peter then offers a retrospective revelation, "In hindsight I've regretted it because, you always feel like, damn. What if one of them guns, or something I sold was the death of somebody?" He attests "that guilt always stays with you," but being "a young father" trying to provide for his son, Peter had motivation to continue his illicit transactions.
Next, Peter goes on to describe in detail how he stayed strapped, claiming, "I always had a .380 or something on me at all times." Reflecting on his previous actions Peter then discloses the startling statistics that affect men of color stating, "most of them are more likely to be killed by a gun, than to kill someone with that gun, if you're carrying a gun."
Peter then touches on Chi Ali going away for manslaughter after shooting his sister's boyfriend, revealing that the Bronx rapper's actions prevented him from becoming a cast member on Love & Hip Hop.
Finally the conversation focused on Peter's son, Cory. Given Peter's actions and how he advocated against owning a gun, at one time Peter believed, "In my mind, I don't even have to talk to Cory, because he already knows what time it is." Peter discloses that for some reason Cory is a "magnet to the 'hood," and as a result the Young Money rapper at one point faced his own gun charge.
Watch the thorough interview as it covers gun laws, spreading awareness, how Chi Ali's case prevented him from joining the cast of Love & Hip-Hop: New York, and the wisdom that Peter has amassed from his previous experiences with being around guns that led him to create his "Gunz Against Guns" campaign.

At the 7:12 mark, Peter Gunz says what I've been saying for YEARS: If there's a place where people feel they need to carry a gun in order for feel safe, I don't want to go to that place. A Club, a bar, a neighborhood, whatever. If you feel you need a gun in order to be there, DON'T GO THERE!

I USED TO THINK THAT WAY WHEN I WAS IN MY YOUNGER TEENS, WHEN I WAS 13-16 I WAS BAD AF, I STAYED STRAPPED, BUT NEVER USED MY GUN BUT IF SOMEONE TRIED IT I WOULD HAVE USED IT, BUT NOW A DAYS I'M NOT LIKE THAT. AT 18 I THREW AWAY ALL MY GUNS CUS I TURNED MY LIFE OVER TO GOD. I AM 23 GOING 24. WELL NOW I DO CARRY A GUN, I HAVE A LICENSE TO CARRY AND I AM A LAW ABIDING CITIZEN.

The laws are against ILLEGALLY owning a gun. Because those are the people committing most of the gun crimes so they can ditch the gun and not have it traced to them.

A lot of knowledge is on this video.

[@dreyummy33]

That's what you call wisdom right there.

[@Kelavis]

Exactly my sentiments. I concealed carried a .45 for years and realized that it was impairing my judgement. I was prone to go into situations I wouldn't have if I didn't have a firearm. I felt such a relief when I sold it.

[@enriqueramos4693]

The problem wasn't your gun it was your ego.

[@Kelavis]

@@enriqueramos4693 What’s an ego?

[@enriqueramos4693]

@Christopher Lee You getting into situations you normally would walk away from if you didn't have the gun. The gun wasn't telling you to go pursue the situation, it was you that choice otherwise not the gun. If you carrying a gun is gonna make you cocky and unafraid of confrontations, then u have no business carrying.

[@Kelavis]

@@enriqueramos4693 You didn’t answer my question about ego. Also, I didn’t mention anything about feeling cocky, it was more of a false sense of security. Like, going to Wal-Mart at 2am because I have “protection.” It wasn’t arrogance, cockiness, nor ego, it was simply unwise.

[@enriqueramos4693]

@Christopher Lee You can call it what you want. If by carrying a firearm impairs you're judgment that easily, then you have no business owning a firearm.

[@AntoineDennison]

At 6:00 "Corey Guns got... caught with a gun as well." Damn, no one saw that coming... *lol*

I got popped in Harlem for splitting a Swisher on the sidewalk while chillin with my man after work (Guliani was cracking down on every minor infraction) and got popped by two under covers. I had two bags of smoke on me (no big deal) and got hauled off to jail. While getting booked I saw the wanted poster for Chi Ali. I couldn't believe it. Here was Dres little relative making these light weight records and now he had a murder rap. It was surreal.

DAMN! Peter is giving me a Old Scrooge tease. I would take Chi-Ali (my ex-play husband) being on the show over Peter Gunz any day. When Chi-Ali first came out, I had the posters and all of his cd's and cassettes. I still have the cassettes for sentimental reasons. I knew that album inside and out, word for word.

[@nicoleford4654]

Well, I found Peter's gift, he should be a motivational speak for young men of color. He would be great and he would change so many young lives. I know he puts himself out there for many perfect people to judge and talk about, but we can be gifted and have so many talents, but there could be chaos going on in other parts of our lives that need to be fixed. And he can't do anything to those women that they don't allow him to do. All three need to be fixed. But sometimes to get a better understanding of why a person does certain things one has to understand the backdrop of that person's full life story. Just saying!

[@TheCleezeReport]

It sounds good but to me he loses all credulity when he still goes buy the name gunz. This is the issue with rap music. It's a contradiction. You can't say one thing and represent another. I'm just saying. But again it sounds really good. He may reach someone but imagine if they would denounce this culture all together.

[@Jasonmp3z]

Word, hes speaking the truth. Guns aint bad but to have it on you 24/7 changes you. Stopping people from breaking in your crib and killing you thats cool, but unless you got a real reason to carry you shouldn't. Most of these kids out here carrying for the wrong reasons and it hurts them more that it helps.

[@TPRES_74]

i still believe in having a strap, not to brush up on niggas but to keeo niggas from brushing up on you. before that it was swords,staff,mace,club etc. Man at heart is still a war mongering, violence craving animal. so i still believe in having knowledge in all aspects. Hands, weapons, and all.

Where are these guns coming from? That is the question. Another thing, it makes little to no sense that a person can legally purchase guns so easily knowing the aim of having one. Then you are punished for the obvious reasons for purchasing it in the first place. The absurdity of the matter is appalling.
