A$AP Rocky Reportedly Arrested at LAX in Connection to a 2021 Shooting

A$AP Rocky was reportedly arrested at LAX Wednesday morning.

According to the TMZ, the rapper was taken into custody after arriving in Los Angeles from Barbados on a private jet. Eyewitnesses told the outlet that A$AP was met by officials at the terminal and was placed in handcuffs.

NBC reports that the arrest stemmed from a November 2021 shooting where a victim claimed Rocky shot at him three to four times, grazing his left hand.

A$AP Rocky’s attorney also confirmed to the news outlet that his client had been arrested by LAPD with assistance from Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations team.

According to NBC, the shooting had not been reported to the media until now.

Earlier this week, Rocky was photographed vacationing in Barbados with his pregnant girlfriend, Rihanna.
