LOS ANGELES -- Grammy-nominated rapper A$AP Rocky was arrested Wednesday morning at Los Angeles International Airport in connection with a November 2021 shooting in Hollywood, authorities said.
Detectives took the 33-year-old hip-hop artist, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, into custody on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a news release. A$AP Rocky had just landed aboard a private jet from Barbados when he was arrested by the LAPD, who waited for him to land, a high-ranking LAPD official told ABC News.
The arrest stems from a shooting that occurred about 10:15 p.m. on Nov. 6, the LAPD statement said. The victim suffered a minor injury and later sought medical treatment. A$AP Rocky and his girlfriend Rihanna announced in late January that she is pregnant with their child.
