Keyshia Cole’s recent appearance at the 2013 Essence Festival wasn’t as positive as she may have hoped considering it’s landed her NBA playing husband Daniel “Boobie” Gibson in a bit of legal trouble. As we reported recently, TMZ claimed Daniel was arrested for assault and battery. He turned himself in at a New Orleans jail earlier today, but the details regarding the arrest were lacking. No name for the accuser was revealed and no information regarding what led to the alleged incident was released at the time of the published report.
Now a few hours after Daniel was released from jail, it appears the basketball player got into a confrontation at a New Orleans nightclub. TMZ reports:
Police have just released additional details about Gibson’s arrest, saying he is accused of punching some guy at a nightclub on July 8th, breaking his jaw. Law enforcement says the fight apparently started with a verbal argument.
According to police, Gibson was booked on 2nd degree battery and later bonded out.
Daniel also released a statement to the website and claims there’s more to the story than what’s being reported:
“Earlier this month during the Essence Music Festival, I was involved in an incident with other individuals while I was out with my wife.
“It’s unfortunate that some see opportunity in taking advantage of people who work hard for what they have achieved.
“Once all the facts of the incident come out, I expect to be fully vindicated.”
Isn’t he a free agent? This is not a good look for someone hoping to get picked up by another team.
I’m not sure what happened but he is a mediocre basketball player praying to get picked up by another team. The last thing he needs to do is try to show off at some nightclub for his hoodrat wife.
LOL. Precisely. Keyshia is a pretty woman but I can imagine how stressful it is to be with her. She got poor Daniel out here fighting in clubs. Too funny.
I can’t stop laughing at this comment lol.
LOL!!!!!!! You’re a mess girl.
Smh. He seems like a decent guy, not sure what went down but this is a bad look.
He’s going to keep right on and end up with no team to play for. He needs to get it together. He’s not all that productive on the court and now he’s fighting in clubs? Not good.
He’s out here breaking jaws? When did Boobie become a gangsta? His nickname is Boobie!
Keyshia better get ready to be the breadwinner in her marriage. Those NBA teams don’t like troublemakers. So she needs to make good with Beyonce quick to end that blacklist she’s on. LOL.
So what details does he think is going to excuse him for fighting in the club and he was the only one arrested?
Messy! Well I’m glad it wasn’t Keyshia. That would have been way worse. His basketball career is hanging by a thread though so he shouldn’t be out here fighting.
I really thought it was Keyshia. I’m glad I was wrong.
His statement is stupid. Does he not see that he’s the one that had to go to jail and the other guy didn’t?
I told yall it was one of Beyonce’s male fans. Now you know they don’t play and called Boobie’s wife Keyshia Coleslaw in person and told her to bow down. That’s why Boobie says what he did was justified.
