Ride to Fear
A ride meant to last minutes turned into a viral firestorm when an Uber driver in Hollywood, Florida was caught on camera pulling a handgun on two passengers. Among them was Miami rapper Bomb Ass Krissy, who began recording after a dispute over directions spiraled out of control. The footage shows the driver demanding the pair exit the vehicle while visibly brandishing the weapon, stating, “Get out of my vehicle now. You’re no longer on the ride.”
The confrontation intensified after Krissy commented on the driver’s demeanor. The driver accused the women of harassment and contacted the police herself. The passengers eventually left the vehicle unharmed, but not before Krissy warned the driver that the video would “go viral”—a prophecy that quickly came true once she posted it online.

Corporate Crackdown
Within hours of the footage gaining traction, Uber deactivated the driver’s account. The company reaffirmed its strict no-weapons policy, saying, “This is concerning, and we’re so sorry this happened.” A spokesperson added that Uber is continuing to investigate the matter and cooperate with authorities.
Krissy, whose real name is Krissy Celess, has since disabled comments on her Instagram post but is reportedly considering legal action. Her attorney, Carlos Dominguez, called the incident “deeply disturbing,” adding, “I would argue that the Uber driver was extremely aggressive, and the reaction of pulling a gun was extremely excessive.”
Public Safety and Policy Gaps
The Hollywood Police Department has confirmed it is conducting an active investigation. While no arrests have been made, officials are reviewing the events captured in the now-viral footage and collecting statements from those involved.
The incident underscores growing concerns about safety standards in ride-sharing platforms. Uber’s firearm ban, while clear in policy, is difficult to enforce in real time. Critics argue that while riders and drivers are both vulnerable, the power dynamic in such enclosed spaces heightens the risk when tensions rise.
Krissy’s viral plea to “help us get her off the streets before she potentially harms another passenger” has struck a chord with users nationwide. As ride-share companies grapple with policy enforcement and passenger safety, this case may serve as a pivotal moment for reform.
