Houston police have charged 20 individuals and suspected gang members with illegally possessing a firearm since a music video by rappers NFL Cartel Bo and Maxo Kream was released in May, according to NBC News.
The video for the song "Hoova" was filmed in March at Lakewood Park. The video shoot included several real, loaded guns, leading bystanders nearby to call the police. Several were arrested and many fled – footage of the police disruption can be seen at the start of the video above.
