A$AP Rocky was detained on Wednesday at Los Angeles International Airport in connection with a November 2021 shooting, NBC News reports, citing “multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the matter” and the rapper’s attorney.
Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, was arriving on a private plane from Barbados, where he had been on vacation with Rihanna, his girlfriend. The two are expecting a child together.
Rocky’s attorney, Alan Jackson, confirmed to NBC News that his client had been arrested.
The rapper had been under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Departments for a Nov. 6 shooting near Vista Del Mar and Selma Ave. around 10:20 p.m.; the report states that shooting was not previously reported.
The shooting victim reportedly later told police that Rocky, who was walking with two others, approached him with a handgun on the street. The victim said Rocky shot at him three to four times and believed one of the bullets grazed his left hand.
