Bronx rapper DThang arrested on firearm, cocaine and cannabis charges
DThang has been arrested on multiple gun and drug charges in Florida. The Bronx rapper, who is signed to French Montana, was detained over the weekend.
The 23-year-old (real name Daniel Collins) was taken into custody at Miami-Dade County jail on September 27th following a traffic stop.
According to the Corrections and Rehabilitation Department, he was charged with cocaine possession, cannabis possession, and firearm possession as a convicted felon.
DThang, also known as DThang Gz, is being held on $5,000 bond. He was only released from prison in January 2024 following his 2022 arrest as part of an indictment against Bronx gang River Park Towers.
He was sentenced to three to five years behind bars, but was released last year. A total of 34 alleged gang members were charged with conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, attempted assault, animal cruelty and criminal possession of a weapon, among others.
DThang is best known for his song ‘Talk Facts’, which has over 52 million views on YouTube. Other big songs include ‘Gzz Box’ with 26 million streams and ‘Bunny Hop’, which has 17 million streams. His “On the Radar Radio” freestyle also boasts 22 million streams.
The drill rapper signed to French Montana’s Coke Boy Records in January 2024. To welcome him to the label, Montana gifted him with a chain and gave him cash to purchase designer items. “You know what’s going on, real shit, steppa shit,” DThang said at the time. Montana added, “Welcome home!”
DThang has over 562,000 Instagram followers and 497,000 monthly Spotify listeners. He released his debut album, A Bronx Tale, in October 2024, with features from Yus Gz, Nesty Gzz, Edai Gunz, Yavi DG, Kyle Richh, and YTB Fatt.
