MTV rapper in Bronx gun bust
An MTV reality-star rapper lived up to his name in The Bronx over the weekend.
Cops busted 24-year-old Peter Cory Pankey — a k a Cory Gunz, star of the reality show “Son of a Gun’’ — for allegedly packing a loaded handgun, officials said yesterday.
Pankey was arrested after officers rushed to the corner of Boynton and Westchester avenues on Saturday afternoon when a 911 caller reported two men fighting.
The brawlers fled, and officers canvassed the neighborhood looking for men who fit witness descriptions.
Police came upon one of them — Pankey — and found a loaded, 9mm semiautomatic Taurus on him, law-enforcement sources said. The gun allegedly was unlicensed.
Pankey lives in The Bronx, about a mile away.
He was booked on suspicion of criminal possession of a weapon.
Pankey is the son of Peter Gunz, who scored the 1997-98 hit “Deja Vu (Uptown Baby).”
