Long Beach rapper O.T. Genasis was arrested on Wednesday night (March 25) after a traffic stop alerted police to outstanding arrest warrants stemming from other traffic violations.
According to TMZ, the “CoCo” rapper ran a red-light in Los Angeles last week and was pulled over as a result. Cops took Genasis to a nearby station and booked him after the arrest.
Genasis is still riding the success of his 2014 viral hit “CoCo.” Speaking with HipHopDX last month, O.T. explained his plans to persevere beyond one-hit wonder status.
“I just do me,” he said. “It don’t take a whole lot. If you make it difficult, it’s going to be difficult. You have to keep things simple. I just stand my ground and have respect for everyone. You give respect, you get respect. As far as the game goes, I just learned from everyone including Busta and have respect. It’s not too much, everyone is making this hard. This shit is not hard.”
