Friend's death

On the evening of November 22, 2007, a Childhood friend, Shamel McKinney, was stabbed and shot to death inside a New York nightclub. Police say McKinney That May have been stabbed after Trying to steal jewelry off the neck of another clubgoer , Anthony Taylor (WHO has, since the incident, been arrested and has to face second-degree murder charges [citation needed]). The rapper explained Further That despite reports, McKinney was not part of a Robbery crew connected to the rapper. Fabolous stated, "On Thanksgiving, I think I Came out of the house one time - to go get egg nog. And there wasn't any eggnog at Club duvets."

Family

In an interview with XXL, Fabolous revealed that he has been in a long-term relationship with stylist Emily , who recently appeared in VH1's Love & Hip-Hop, that began in 2003. That long-term relationship produced a son in February 2008 named Johan Jackson.

Legal issues

In January and March 2003, Fabolous was arrested for possessing an unlicensed gun in his car. His bodyguard later showed proof of ownership for the gun. Fabolous put his career on hiatus for much of 2005 and 2006.

He was shot in his right leg, on the morning of October 17, 2006 in Manhattan after exiting Justin's, a restaurant owned by Sean "Diddy" Combs. The police saw the rapper and three other men accompanying him rushing through a red light and found unlicensed, loaded guns in their car leading to their arrest. After they found the weapons, Fabolous was treated at a local hospital, he was released eight days later.

NYPD linked Fabolous to a crew of robbers who targeted champion boxer Zab Judah twice. According to police reports, the Street Fam Crew is made up of 20 members, all former drug dealers from Fabolous's Brooklyn neighborhood. First hand reports from the suspects in the Fam Crew say that Jackson would house them in the mid '90s. One account claims that Jackson was an informant for the NYPD and has since been distant from the crew. In 2006, three men tried to rob Judah as he stood next to his yellow lamborghini on West 27th Street at 10th Avenue in New York City. The three men rolled up in a minivan at about 5 AM, and hopped out. One pulled a baseball bat on Judah and told him to put his jewelry on the hood of his car. 

Judah ran instead. The muggers followed in their van, but crashed into a local methadone clinic a block away. All three scattered, but one was captured by a Homeland Security agent on his way to work, and another was grabbed by a nearby taxi driver. "A bunch of idiots that didn't have no control over what those "goofs" were doing; they messed with the wrong guy," said Judah. Fabolous came forward to deny reports from the Fam Crew and involvement with them or the Judah incident whatsoever.

On February 24, 2009 Arkansas police seized 500 lb (230 kg) of marijuana from Fabolous' tour bus as it returned from the NBA All-Star Game. Fabolous was not on board the bus at the time and has not yet been charged in connection with the incident.
