Maino recounted a harrowing incident from 2006 when he was nearly robbed at gunpoint in a Brooklyn sneaker store. The situation, which took place early in his music career, escalated quickly when a young assailant held a gun to Maino’s head. However, the rapper successfully disarmed the gunman during the ensuing struggle. The gunman was ultimately shot twice. Maino clarified that he never faced any charges, as the incident was deemed self-defense, and witnesses corroborated his account. Reflecting on his actions, Maino admitted that he wouldn't have reacted the same way today. At the time, he felt offended and provoked, which led to his instinctive response to defend himself. He expressed that his past experiences, including his involvement in robberies, contributed to his quick reflexes. He emphasized the importance of maintaining distance when threatened to prevent would-be attackers from gaining the upper hand.
