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

Hiring someone for the first time is supposed to be exciting, but for one man in Delhi, it turned into a terrifying experience. In a post shared on Reddit, a young employer working at his father's furniture shop claimed a new employee made excuses, disappeared with money, and later threatened him with violence. The employer had hired the man through a popular job portal. But the employee didn't turn up on the agreed joining date. 'He delayed joining for 3–4 days, saying he was unwell,' the employer wrote. When he finally arrived, the employer wasn't in the office. The employee called, saying he came only to talk to him. The next day, he worked a little and asked for Rs 500, saying he needed it for an ultrasound. Then came the money demands After receiving the Rs 500, the employee vanished again.

Though he believed the man was bluffing, the thought of him showing up with people was scary. 'He said I worked one day. You promised Rs 25,000/month, so I'm owed Rs 850,' the post added. Social media users react People on Reddit quickly responded. One user wrote, 'Don't think someone threatening over Rs 350 can do much. But always stay cautious.'

‘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.'

‘Wife in hospital, payment stuck': Driver claims to have lost 4-day income in cruel hospital scam
In the digital age, scams are getting smarter—and often prey on the very instincts that make us human: empathy, urgency, and trust. One young Rapido captain recently learned this the hard way after falling victim to a meticulously crafted scam involving a fake emergency at a hospital. What seemed like a generous, high-paying ride near an army hospital quickly turned into a heartbreaking loss of four days' worth of hard-earned income. Now, his post on Reddit is sparking widespread discussion on how vulnerable gig workers are becoming in these emotionally manipulative cons. The captain shared his ordeal, explaining that he received a booking near CH (Army Hospital) and immediately accepted it. Soon after, the passenger called him with an emotional story—his wife was inside the hospital and needed to be dropped off at the railway station. The passenger claimed he was paying Rs 4,200 and asked the captain to keep his share and transfer the remaining amount to his wife's ID, since the payment couldn't be made directly from his own account. A Rs 4,000 transaction soon appeared in the driver's account, which seemed legitimate at first glance. Trusting the caller, the Rapido captain followed the next instruction—to forward the amount to a QR code shared on WhatsApp, with the assumption that the payment had been routed to his account for transfer. The moment he did that, the scammer said he would be sending more money . That's when the captain grew suspicious and disconnected the call. But by then, it was too late. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kulkas yang belum Terjual dengan Harga Termurah (Lihat harga) Cari Sekarang Undo Only later did he realise that the Rs 4,000 in his account had not come from the passenger—it was money sent the previous day by a friend. The scam had worked because he didn't double-check the timestamp of the payment. 'I was scammed, despite being smart and educated,' he wrote in frustration. 'My earnings of 4–5 days vanished in a minute because of a little ignorance.' Netizens react The incident struck a chord online, with many users relating to the experience. One user shared that a Rapido driver they knew had faced the exact same scam involving the same hospital and storyline, and despite filing a police report, not much progress was made. But others came forward with advice and next steps. A comment outlined a clear action plan: -Register a complaint at with all transaction details. -Contact the bank and initiate a chargeback request. Share the cybercrime complaint as proof. -Visit the local police station when the online complaint gets assigned and get an FIR filed. Share that with your bank to strengthen your claim.
