A$AP Rocky facing gun charges

A$AP Rocky has been arrested in connection with a 2021 shooting.

The 33-year-old rapper, whose given name is Rakim Mayers, was detained by police when his private plane flew into Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday in relation to an alleged incident that took place around 10:20 p.m. on November 6. The rapper's attorney, Alan Jackson, confirmed his client had been arrested by Los Angeles police.

The victim reportedly told cops the Praise the Lord hitmaker was walking with two others in the street when he approached him with a handgun. The unnamed victim alleged the rapper shot at him three or four times and believed one of the bullets had grazed his left hand. A$AP Rocky was in Barbados with his pregnant girlfriend Rihanna but it is unclear if the Diamonds hitmaker was with him when he returned to the US from his vacation before he was arrested.

The couple's relationship has been under scrutiny in recent weeks following allegations the rapper had been unfaithful with shoe designer Amina Muaddi. However, Muaddi has slammed the speculation as "vile".
