A$AP Rocky, who was seen in Barbados with Rihanna recently has been arrested in connection to a November 2021 shooting.
According to Yahoo the 33-year-old rapper, real name Rakim Mayers, touched down at Los Angeles International Airport via private plane Wednesday after a holiday with Rihanna in her native Barbados.
The singer was then promptly arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division with assistance from Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations team.
According to a LAPD press release, the “F***in’ Problems” singer’s arrest is related to a Nov. 6 shooting in Hollywood, near the intersection of Selma Avenue and Argyle Avenue.
At around 10:20 p.m. that night, there was an argument “between two acquaintances” that escalated, according to police, and the suspect — Rocky — allegedly fired a gun at the unidentified victim, who suffered a minor injury and received medical treatment. Rocky allegedly fled the scene with two other males.

Rocky was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, according to police. The case will now be presented to the Los Angeles district attorney.
It’s unclear whether Rihanna, who is in her third trimester, was with Rocky on the private plane when he was taken into police custody.
