Stockton-based rapper EBK Jaaybo arrested by Arkansas State Police on multiple charges
Stockton-based rapper EBK Jaaybo was arrested on May 18 by the Arkansas State Police on multiple felony charges.
EBK Jaaybo, whose real name is Jaymani Gorman, was booked into the Pope County Detention Center on two counts of possession of a controlled substance, one count of criminal use of a prohibited weapon, and one count of theft by receiving.
The arrest marked Gorman's second run-in with the law in 2025.
He was arrested by the Stockton Police Department on March 5 near Pixie Drive and Kingsley Avenue after a routine traffic stop for a vehicle leaving the area in violation of traffic laws. Gorman and four other adults in the vehicle were detained. He was arrested on suspicion of being a felon in possession of ammunition, possession of narcotic controlled substances and a parole violation.
Previously, Gorman served a year in the San Joaquin County Jail for illegal gun possession. He was released from custody on Feb. 6, according to court records.
Gorman rose to fame with his 2024 single 'Boogieman,' which appeared on Billboard's U.S. Bubbling Under Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. The song has garnered nearly 117 million streams on Spotify to date.
Gorman's arrest came days after he was announced as a performer on YoungBoy Never Broke Again's first headlining tour. The Louisiana rapper, also known as NBA YoungBoy, was recently released from federal prison after serving 23 months for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
The tour, which includes 27 U.S. cities, is scheduled to stop in Oakland on Sept. 12 and Sacramento on Sept. 13.

FBI confirms hacker group behind Hawaiian Airlines attack
1 of 2 | A notorious hacker group is likely responsible for a recent cyberattack on Hawaiian Airlines that affected some of its IT systems, the FBI confirmed to CNN. File Photo by Bonnie Cash/UPI | License Photo June 28 (UPI) -- A notorious hacker group could reportedly be responsible for a recent cyberattack on Hawaiian Airlines that affected some of its IT systems. That incident and other cyberattacks "recently observed" by the FBI bear a resemblance to previous ones carried out by the Scattered Spider group, TechCrunch reported, citing a statement from the federal investigative agency. The airline confirmed the attack earlier this week but said neither its flights or passenger safety were affected. "As we navigate the ongoing event, we remain in contact with the appropriate experts and federal authorities," the airline said in its latest update. Scattered Spider is a group of English-speaking young adults and teens believed to be living in the United States and Britain. The group conducts large-scale phishing and ransomware operations in addition to other cyberattacks, usually against major corporations and their third-party IT contractors. The FBI confirmed the group's involvement in recent attacks, noting the airline industry remains vulnerable. "Anyone in the airline ecosystem, including trusted vendors and contractors, could be at risk," the FBI said in a statement to CNN. "Once inside (a victim's network), Scattered Spider actors steal sensitive data for extortion and often deploy ransomware." Earlier this month, a cyberattack targeting United Natural Foods Inc., caused a major disruption at Whole Foods. The Rhode-Island-based distributor is a major Whole Foods supplier, with the attack leading to empty grocery store shelves across the country. A week after the Whole Foods incident, international insurance company Aflac confirmed data and Social Security numbers of its clients were stolen by a hacking group. The company, based in Columbus, Ga., said the techniques used in the cyber intrusion closely resemble those used by Scattered Spider in previous hacks.
