A$AP Rocky was taken into custody at the Los Angeles airport on Wednesday morning in connection to a November 2021 shooting, TMZ reported quoting law enforcement sources. 

The rapper had flown in from Barbados on a private jet when cops met him at the terminal and took him into custody on charges of “assault with a deadly weapon with a gun.”

The arrest reportedly stems from a 2021 shooting incident when A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, had allegedly shot at a man 3 or 4 times, grazing him in his hand.

The shooting reportedly took place on November 6 near Vista Del Mar and Selma Ave. The victim reportedly told cops that the rapper, along with two others, approached him with a handgun on the street and shot him. The circumstances that led to the shooting were not known. 

Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky was vacationing in Barbados with his girlfriend, singer Rihanna amid rumours that they two had broken up.

Last week, rumours started doing the rounds that the couple had called it quits after Rocky was caught cheating on the 33-year-old singer with Fenty footwear designer Amina Muaddi.

It all started when a fashion influencer, @LOUIS_via_ROMA, wrote in a series of tweets, “Rihanna & ASAP Rocky have split. Rihanna broke up with him after she caught him cheating with shoe designer Amina Muaddi. Amina was responsible for designing Fenty’s footwear offering and Rihanna is often seen in custom shoes from her own label.”

However, two days later, Amina Muaddi slammed the cheating allegations, writing, “I’ve always believed that an unfounded lie spread on social media doesn’t deserve any response or clarification, especially one that is so vile.”

“I initially assumed that this fake gossip -fabricated with such malicious intent- would not be taken seriously. However, in the last 24h, I’ve been reminded that we live in a society that is quick to speak on the topic regardless of factual basis and that nothing is off-limits. Not even during what should be one of the most beautiful and celebrated times in one’s life. Therefore, I have to speak up as this is not only directed towards me but it is related and affection for.”

“While Rih is continuing to live her serene, best-dressed pregnancy life and I go back to my business. I wish everyone a beautiful Easter weekend,” Maudi concluded the note shared on social media.
