A West Virginia rapper visiting Los Angeles was planning on staying at an Airbnb, but when he arrived at the house, he allegedly found two houseguests and drug paraphernalia littered inside, according to the videos he shared on social media.
Rapper Ponce De’Leioun, whose real name is De’Leioun Jackson, took to Twitter to show proof of what he found at the rental he booked through Airbnb on Saturday.
