AceShowbiz - Yung Joc has finally gotten his freedom back. It was unveiled that the "It's Goin' Down" rapper has walked out of prison not long after he got arrested for child abandonment.
The 41-year-old was arrested on Thursday, May 5. According to Gwinnett County Jail inmate records, he was slapped with a misdemeanor charge of Abandonment of Dependent Child.
Joc, whose real name is Jasiel Amon Robinson, was booked into Gwinnett County Jail at around 2:58 A.M. on Thursday. However, he was released around 5:03 A.M. after posting a $1300 bond plus fees.
It remains to be seen when Joc is due to be in court. It is also unclear which one of his kids being involved in the case considering that the rapper has eight children with four different women.
In the summer of 2021, Joc got into a heated argument with his son. The dispute was shown in an August episode of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" camera. It all started after Joc and Amoni met at the former's nightclub to have a discussion since Amoni's mother persuaded the emcee to share some wisdom to the 20-year-old.
In a confessional, Joc shared his concern about his son's safety whenever he's outside. "It's hard being a black man trying to raise a black son. Every time I walk out the door, I gotta say, 'God, please protect me from anybody that wants to cause me harm, to the police,' " said Joc. "I'm trying to get that through [my son's] head."
The father later spoke to his son and told him that he risked his life by hanging out with the wrong people. He stressed the importance to have loyalty to his family and be safe out there in the streets, but Amoni kept talking back to his father.
Looking frustrated, Joc threw a chair at the wall. They resumed their conversation with Joc raising his voice, but Amoni refused to yield. As things got more intense, Joc was seen swinging on his son before some crew members rushed to restrain them.
