A$AP Rocky has been arrested at LAX in Los Angeles.
According to a report published on TMZ Rocky had an unfortunate surprise waiting for him at LAX upon his return from vacationing with Rihanna, the mother of his child, in Barbados. The “Long Live A$AP” rapper was arrested and taken into custody after he got off his private jet. NBC News reports that the rapper was arrested in connection to a shooting that occurred back in November 2021.
The previously-unreported shooting in question happened on November 6 a few blocks from the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
A$AP’s lawyer confirmed his client was arrested but did not offer up any other type of statement. The rapper had just returned from Barbados where he and Rihanna were escaping the calamity that ensued following a false rumour that he and the singer had broken up. As yet, Rihanna has not issued a statement about the rapper’s situation.
Prior to the arrest, A$AP Rocky hadn’t faced any legal issues since he was jailed overseas in 2019 over a violent altercation with two men. The case drew national global attention throughout Rocky’s imprisonment in Stockholm, Sweden. He was released from custody a few weeks later.
