Two members of the hip-hop click G-Unit were released without bail Tuesday afternoon, following their arrest on felony gun possession charges after the Anger Management 3 concert in Manhattan last night at Madison Square Garden.

Rap artist Lloyd Banks, whose real name is Chris Lloyde, and fellow rapper Young Buck, whose real name is David Brown, were riding in a van with 10 other men that allegedly ran a red light at about 11:30 p.m. Monday near the corner of West 41st Street and Eighth Avenue, authorities said.

Police said one of the 12 men was carrying a loaded handgun and another weapon was found on the floor of the van. All of the occupants were charged with felony gun possession.
