NextImg:Rapper Gunplay allegedly pointed AK-47 at his wife and baby in a fight over him playing ‘Call of Duty’

Florida rapper Gunplay allegedly lived up to his name by drunkenly pulling an AK-47 on his wife while she was holding their baby — in a fight over him playing the shoot-em-up game “Call of Duty,” according to cops and his wife.

The 44-year-old “Love & Hip Hop Miami” star, real name Richard Morales Jr., was arrested Sunday in the Florida city on charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment and child abuse, records show.

He allegedly threw glass cups and bottles at wife Vonshae Taylor-Morales, forcing her to cover their 6-month-old daughter with a blanket to protect her from flying glass, according to an affidavit obtained by Law&Crime.

He then pressed an AK-47 against his wife’s chest — and said, “I will blow your s–t back,” according to the affidavit.

Taylor-Morales addressed the ordeal on her Instagram page Sunday to say she and her daughter were “safe” — and that she was divorcing the rapper, whom she had a restraining order against.

“Unfortunately Richard is back to using and developed a very bad drinking problem,” wrote the mom, who appeared alongside her husband in the VH1 reality show.

She detailed how the fight started when she asked the rapper “to quiet down” because he was yelling while playing “Call of Duty,” waking the baby.
