The rapper at the time was said to be shopping for a birthday present for his son when he was ambushed by the group.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators said the rapper was a gang member who posted videos upsetting a rival gang that resulted in the attack. U.S. District Attorney John Lausch said the indictment alleges the five men were members of an enterprise that engages in racketeering.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s happening on social media, and what\u2019s happening, and in music videos on YouTube, particularly in the drill rap genre, it shows you what\u2019s happening in this city. It shows you exactly what\u2019s happening in this city,\u201d Lausch said. \u201cPeople are threatening to commit acts of violence and then either bragging about acts of violence or talking about how they\u2019re going to retaliate acts of violence. And it\u2019s happening on a regular basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Supt David Brown joins U.S District Atty John Lausch &amp; the Chicago FBI office in announcing arrests of five alleged Chicago gang members in the slaying of Chicago rapper FBG Duck last year. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CPDMediaCar?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CPDMediaCar<\/a>.
