NEW YORK, March 26 (UPI) -- New York police said they were ready in case of retaliation against rapper Yayo for allegedly roughing up a teen for wearing a rival rap group's shirt.
The 14-year-old allegedly roughed up by members of the G-Unit was the son of the head of Czar Entertainment, the New York Post said Monday.
Released on a $5,000 cash bond after being arranged on misdemeanor charges of assault and endangering the welfare of a child was G-Unit artist Tony Yayo. Prosecutors allege Yayo pushed around the 14-year-old son of Czar Entertainment chief Jimmy "Henchman" Rosemond, who represents rival rapper The Game.
Yayo is an associate of rap star 50 Cent.
Hip-hop bloggers Sunday speculated about the prospect of revenge. New York police said they were on the alert in case of retaliation against Yayo and his friends.
Rosemond's lawyer noted a criminal complaint was filed and the boy's family doesn't "want to be anywhere near" Yayo.
"The whole family is upset," said attorney Jeffrey Lichtman.
Lichtman said the teen was on his way to an internship at his father's office when he was spotted by 50 cent and other G-Unit rappers.
