Leon "RoccStar" Youngblood Jr. has made a name for himself by producing some of Chris Brown's biggest hits. The producer has worked with the rapper since 2014. He has also gained a following due to his appearance on the reality show Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood. Moreover, he guest-starred on Basketball Wives. He is a platinum-selling producer who has a lot of clout and respect from the music community.
However, he is in the news for a completely different reason. A recent incident at his California home saw the 33-year-old take his safety, and justice, into his own hands. TMZ broke the story on April 11 about the reportedly April 10 incident in Chatsworth. Chatsworth is located northwest of Los Angeles. It is also the home of the famed Iverson Movie Ranch.
RoccStar Did What He Had To Do
First reported by TMZ, RoccStar was awoken early on Monday morning by his home alarm. According to RoccStar, the system warned him that someone was on the roof of his garage. According to TMZ's source, RoccStar was armed with a firearm when he confronted the individual. After ordering the man to come down, an altercation broke out between the two men. After overpowering the trespasser, RoccStar and a member of his gated community's security held the man until the police arrived. According to available data, Chatsworth, where RoccStar's home is located, has a crime rate of 24.15 per 1000 residents. However, that relative safety will mean nothing to RoccStar after Monday's incident.
The suspect was taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries before being detained on attempted burglary, vandalism, and possession of burglary tools. However, RoccStar is yet to release a public statement about the incident. Despite this, it is safe to say that RoccStar is not the person to mess with. Or in this case, not the person whose garage roof you should be climbing on. The suspect, now in custody, should count himself lucky that RoccStar showed composure and restraint during the incident. If he releases a statement, RoccStar's account of what happened may shed more light on the situation.
