Miami rapper gives directions during Uber ride, driver pulls out a gun and says, ‘Get out of my vehicle'

Indian Express16-05-2025

A shocking video has surfaced from Miami, showing an Uber driver allegedly pulling a gun on her passengers after a brief exchange over directions.
Conflicts between cab drivers and passengers have become increasingly common, but this particular incident took a frightening turn. According to a video now going viral, the driver snapped after being advised on where to turn, and shouted, 'Get out of my vehicle now! You're no longer in the ride. Get out!' She then dialled 911 and, moments later, pulled out a gun and pointed it at her two passengers.
Krissy Celess, a rising Miami rapper, shared the footage of the frightening encounter, explaining how the situation spiraled out of control. 'I just never expected anything like this to happen,' she told WSVN, admitting she feared for her life and worried she might never see her 4-year-old son again.

According to Celess, the ordeal began when she tried to guide the driver on the route. She said, 'Hey, the turn is right here. You're going to make a left.' The driver allegedly responded saying, 'Oh, you don't have to tell me. That's what I have a GPS for,' while driving in the middle lane. Celess believes it was her remark about the driver's 'crazy eyes' that set off the violent reaction.
The passengers are now planning legal action against Uber. Their lawyer, Carlos Dominguez, described the driver's behaviour as 'extremely aggressive,' noting that pulling a gun was 'extremely excessive'. He said, 'You know, emotions can sometimes spur out of control because of a simple disagreement, but those disagreements do not necessitate a firearm to be pointed at you.' He said, 'Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Simply shocking. I mean, you get the first-person perspective of having a gun pointed at you.'
Uber responded to the incident by removing the driver's access to their app and launching an investigation. The company also reaffirmed that their drivers are prohibited from carrying firearms. Meanwhile, the police are actively looking into the case.
Similar unsettling encounters with Uber drivers have also been reported in India. A resident of Gurgaon recently made a Reddit post to share a disturbing experience that led them to cancel their ride and hurry back home. The incident happened when the user booked a Priority Sedan on Uber to travel to a nearby train station, just an hour away. As the driver neared, the user checked the app to verify the OTP and was shocked to see a disturbing message in the Uber chat.
The passenger had messaged, 'I am here. Anand Vihar Terminal drop. Please come.' In response, the driver sent a chilling reply: 'Go to Anand Vihar. I want to go to kidnap you happily.' This strange and threatening message left the Gurgaon resident deeply shaken.

‘I Am A Jaat, I Will Bring 10 Men': Delhi Man Threatens Boss Over Rs 350 Dispute

Last Updated: The Reddit user shared a disturbing experience that happened while working at his father's furniture showroom in Delhi. If you are running a business, it is only natural that you will need to hire employees to help things run smoothly. But before bringing someone on board, it is important to do proper background checks. Skipping this step can lead to serious problems, something one Reddit user recently experienced. In a Reddit post titled 'I got threatened by a prospective job candidate," the user shared a disturbing experience that happened while working at his father's furniture showroom in Delhi. 'I work at my father's business in Delhi. It's a furniture showroom (not that big though)," he wrote. This was his first time hiring someone, so he decided to bring in an accountant through a popular job site. 'I hired an accountant from to do day-to-day work on Tally, such as recording sales, purchases, generating invoices, e-way bills, as well as preparing quotations, etc.," the user wrote. Things took a strange turn right from the start. According to the Redditor, the new hire didn't show up on the agreed-upon joining date and kept delaying for 3–4 days, citing health issues. When he finally turned up after four days late, the user wasn't in the office. 'He called me and said he only came to talk to me," the post explained. The next day, the man showed up, did some work and then made an unusual request. 'He asked for 500 rupees at EOD, stating he needed them for an ultrasound which is weird because—1. Who the hell asks their employer for such a favour? 2. He has called me multiple times in between saying 'Sir aap mujhe 500 Paytm kardo, mai kahi fass gaya hu, mai ghar jaake kar dunga (Sir, please send me Rs 500 on Paytm. I'm stuck somewhere, I'll return it once I reach home),' to which I refused every time." The Redditor finally gave in and handed over a 500-rupee note. But the man vanished the next day. 'He didn't come for 3 more days," the post read. Then, out of nowhere, he called and said, 'Sir mai aapke saath kaam nahi kar paaunga, mera per day 850 banta hai, aap 350 aur dedo (Sir, I won't be able to work with you. My daily wage comes to Rs 850, so please give me Rs 350 more)." When the Redditor refused, things took a threatening turn. 'He threatened me and said 'Mai jaat hu, office ke bahar 10 bande le aaunga kal (I'm a Jaat, I'll bring 10 men outside your office tomorrow)," called me multiple times as well," he wrote. This left Redditor shaken so he turned to the platform and asked for help and advice: 'What should I do in this situation? And how should I check someone's background before I hire someone so that I don't make this foolish mistake of hiring a guy like this?" In the comments section, many users urged the Redditor to take action and not let the matter slide. One user suggested, 'File a police complaint. Let the police handle this. Get an employment contract in place in future if you didn't." Another said, 'You my friend ended up hiring a fraud. Anyway, he will not do anything. Block him and do your work. Hire someone else and do a proper background check." 'Keeps the call on record next time. File a complaint if he threatens again," someone advised. While this Redditor's story is a lesson in why background checks matter, it is not the only hiring-related incident that made headlines. A few months ago, a Bengaluru-based company posted a job opening that got a lot of people talking. They were looking to hire a 'cracked full-stack engineer" to build 'real-time AI for every human." But what surprised everyone was the hiring process. Despite offering a hefty Rs 40 lakh annual salary, the company didn't ask for a resume, experience, or even a college degree. All they wanted was a short 100-word intro and a sample of your best work. First Published:

‘Office ke bahar 10 bande le aaunga kal': Delhi employer recounts chilling threat from new employee

Hiring your first employee can be nerve-racking, but it turned into something worse for one employer in Delhi. In a Reddit post, a man working at his father's furniture store claimed that a new employee made health excuses, vanished with money and then threatened him. 'The guy didn't show up on the joining date and kept delaying for about 3-4 days, stating some health issues. He came 4 days after the joining date (when I wasn't available in the office due to some personal commitment), called me and said he only came to talk to me. He came the next day, did some work, asked for 500 rupees at EOD stating he needed them for ultrasound,' the man wrote, adding that he had hired the candidate from a reputed job portal. The employer continued that the man kept asking for money, and he finally gave ₹500, after which he vanished for a few days. The employee then started demanding more money and when refused, he allegedly said, 'Office ke bahar 10 bande le aaunga kal (I will gather 10 men outside your office tomorrow).' An individual remarked, 'Don't think this person can do much if he's threatening for 350rs. Also, why was he asking for the money if he didn't show up for three more days?' The OP replied, 'I think he is bluffing too, but I'm scared at the possibility of him actually showing up. I don't know, dude; these kinda guys could do anything. He said, 'I worked for a day, and you hired me for 25k/month, so it comes to 850 per day. Give me that since you are terminating me, or wait for 10-15 days, and I'll be back." Another joined, 'Did you not have him sign a contract of some kind? Where it specifies the terms of termination, minimum terms, notice period, leaves etc? If not, you should in the future.' A third added, 'If you can, figure out how to report his profile to Naukri. Send him a formal email saying he's been paid 500 for x number of hours (if he indeed did any work). Let him know his employment is terminated. Let him know if he threatens you further, ki woh 35rs ke liye 10 bande layega toh wakai gazab hojayega. Formally likh dena that as he didn't work, he won't get paid. And him contacting you further will result in your filing a police complaint against him. Bus. Don't be scared. Barking dogs seldom bite and ig you have cameras? Let him know, too. For your protection, you can let the police know if you're really scared.' A fourth wrote, 'You, my friend, ended up hiring a fraud. Anyway, he will not do anything. Block him and do your work. Hire someone else and do a proper background check.'
