Lil Baby Arrested in Las Vegas for Alleged Gun Violation

Rapper Lil Baby was arrested in Las Vegas early Monday for allegedly carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. The arrest occurred on the iconic Las Vegas Strip just before dawn. The specific circumstances surrounding the incident were not disclosed.

Attorneys Drew Findling and David Chesnoff are "actively investigating" the arrest, noting the 29-year-old rapper, whose real name is Dominique Jones, possesses a valid permit for a concealed weapon in Georgia. Lil Baby, who has not been formally charged, was released after posting bond and is scheduled to appear in court on October 1 in Las Vegas.

Lil Baby, a Grammy Award-winning artist, gained immense popularity with his 2020 album My Turn. He also reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "The Bigger Picture," a song reflecting on the murder of George Floyd and systemic police brutality. Other notable tracks include collaborations like "Yes Indeed" with Drake and "Drip Too Hard." (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
