A$AP Rocky was arrested in Los Angeles, accused of being connected to a shooting

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna have definitely seen better days. Barely a week ago a rumor emerged (already was denied in its entirety) that they had separated due to infidelity. Now, the rapper has been arrested in Los Angeles, California for an incident that occurred last year.

The reason for his arrest was that he was linked to a shooting that took place in Hollywood in November 2021 and in which one person was injured.

What happened?

A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, was returning from Barbados, where he spent a few days with Rihanna, and Los Angeles police forces were waiting at the airport to arrest him. The rapper was arrested as soon as he got off his flight.

Not much is known about the details of the incident for which he was arrested, only that it is a shooting that resulted in an injured person, who is an acquaintance of the artist. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious and the injured man was able to receive medical help.

However, if true, the rapper was completely involved in the shooting, as the person who was injured claimed that he was the one who shot him and then fled the scene along with other people. For this, Mayers was charged with armed assault.

On November 6, 2021, around 10:15 p.m., an argument broke out between two acquaintances in Hollywood. The discussion led to the suspect [Mayers] shoot a person.

In addition to his arrest, bail was set at half a million dollars and he was released on Wednesday afternoon.

This news comes just weeks after Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcome their first child into the world. The couple announced the artist’s pregnancy in January and since then they had had very peaceful months, until these last two weeks.
