Soon-to-be father, A$AP Rocky was detained at Los Angeles International airport on Wednesday, April 20, 2022 in relation to a shooting that took place last year.

The LAPD made the detention with aid from Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations squad.

His lawyer verified the news to NBC. A rep for the LAPD could not yet confirm Rocky’s arrest. 


The sufferer, who survived, later notified police the rapper, 33, was strolling with two others when he moved toward the man with a handgun on the street. 

The victim alleged Rocky pulled a bullet at him three to four times and believed one of the bullets brushed his left hand, according to police documents.

In 2019, Mayers, now 33, was apprehended in Sweden after a fight on the street between his entourage and two men.


He was convicted of assault, given a suspended prison sentence, and had to pay more than $1,000 in harms. 

He served a month in jail before the sentence was handed down so did not have to serve any extra period.
