Early reports say, one of the suspects pointed a gun at Kiss during the encounter. A police officer reportedly saw the incident and ordered the men in the tow truck to stop the vehicle. According to police, the quartet then tried to escape, but ended up crashing into a police car. Four men are presently being questioned in the precinct and the tow truck's owner reached the police station moments ago.
Kiss was among a number of rappers that performed during the Biggie Tribute last night. The raspy voice rapper has also just released a track responding to 50 Cent's "Piggy Bank" -a song that targets Kiss, Fat Joe, Nas and Shyne. There's no word on whether the incident is related to the song or the recent wave of rap beef.
