The rapper, who is currently under investigation by the LAPD, was arrested for his involvement in the shooting that took place on November 6, 2021.
Police said the incident transpired during an argument between two acquaintances, which escalated to the suspect firing a handgun at the victim. Following the shooting, the suspect and other males fled the scene on foot, and authorities later identified A$AP as the suspect.
Although this wasn’t the first time Rocky has been arrested, he spent much of July in 2019 behind bars after he was arrested in Sweden. He was detained for his involvement in a public fight with some unknown drug addicts.
Rocky, who was jailed for a month in January 2019, described his experience in the cell as “a very difficult and humbling experience.”
