Young Money member and Justin Bieber collaborator Lil Twist has reportedly been charged with six felony charges stemming from the November 2014 incident involving an alleged break-in and assault at former Disney Channel star's Kyle Massey house. If convicted of all six charges, Lil Twist -- real name Christopher Lynn Moore -- could face up to 25 years in prison for the incident.
According to TMZ, the Los Angeles County district attorney has charged Twist with burglary, grand theft, making criminal threats, battery and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. There is currently an arrest warrant out for Twist.
Lil Twist is wanted for his alleged involvement in the beating and robbing of former Nickelodeon actor Chris Massey and his brother Kyle. According to reports, Massey and his brother kicked Twist and his four friends out of their house after they were allegedly hanging out. Moore and his sidekicks returned to the house, pushed inside and beat up Chris with brass knuckles, stealing the Zoey 101 actor's wallet and cellphone.
Twist already has a checkered past in addition to these new allegations. He has a DUI already to his name and was named in a 2013 battery investigation, though later cleared, according to BET.
Fans are still waiting for his debut album Bad Decisions to drop, and if this case has any merit -- and it appears to -- then they may be waiting a long time.
Moore is one of the many artists on Young Money unhappy with their management situation. He vented his frustrations in a Twitter rant in October, saying, "I swear I gotta have the worst management team in the history of management teams.. Like wow this shit crazy. All I wanna do is drop music. From 'Don't Get It Twisted' to 'Bad Decisions' I have so much f*kin material recorded but I can't even get a answer [sic] from my 'management.'"
Stay tuned for any updates on the case to see if Lil Twist can wiggle himself free of this one, though the storm clouds have been brewing for some time.
