Lil Baby Sidesteps Prosecution After Felony Gun Charge Gets Dropped

October 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby stepped into a legal quagmire on August 26. The rapper was pulled over in Las Vegas, and police found a firearm on his person. The rapper’s mugshot went viral. Lil Baby’s attorney, Drew Findling told Billboard that he was well within his legal rights to carry a weapon. “Dominique Jones has a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit,” the lawyer stated. “We are actively investigating the facts and circumstances.” Findling’s assertion ultimately proved correct. Lil Baby is in the clear. He no longer has a felony charge hanging over him.

TMZ confirmed the ruling on October 9. Baby will not be prosecuted for carrying a concealed firearm. Furthermore, the Clark Country District Attorney has decided not to press charges against the rapper. This is an enormous break for Lil Baby, who was looking at a potential felony charge. This, of course, is not the first time the rapper has run into legal trouble. Lil Baby was arrested for reckless driving in 2019. He was also detained on suspicion of “transporting drugs” in France in 2022. He was released, but required to pay a fine. The incident took place during Fashion Week.

Baby has been especially busy as of late. The rapper was not letting the possibility of a felony slow him down. He served as the executive producer on the new Tay B album, You’re Welcome. He will also appear at the Don’t Fall In Love Fest in November. The festival will take place in San Bernandino, and see Baby rap alongside stars like Chino Pacas, Sexyy Red and Kodak Black. Fuerza Regida will put on the event. DJ Akademiks and ATL Jacob also dragged Lil baby into their recent drama.

DJ Akademiks and Jacob got into a heated back-and-forth over Twitter. The disses went on for hours, before the former hopped on stream to air out his grievances. He took ATL Jacob to task for making false claims about superstar rappers. Baby was one of them. “He told me that Gunna finna die,” Ak alleged. “He told me Rick Ross lives in the hood, [Lil] Baby not like that. Future trying to hold on to some points and basically told me that they don’t f*ck with Drake.” Baby, however, steered clear of the feud.

Lil Baby’s Mugshot Released After His Chaotic Arrest In Las Vegas

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby’s Las Vegas trip did not go smoothly. The rapper was arrested after police suspected he had a concealed weapon on him. He got combative with the police, and asserted that he had a permit to carry before switching up and taunting them to perform a search. The footage of the incident made its way to TMZ. Lil Baby can be heard telling Las Vegas PD to search him well because he has a “gun in his nuts.” Now, his mugshot has been officially released to the public. He definitely looks like he’s been through a long ordeal.

Lil Baby’s eyes are unmistakably bloodshot in the mugshot. The rapper looks both exhausted and angry. Both fair under the circumstances, however. Fans on Instagram flocked to the comment section with the usual mixture of jokes and dismay. One user claimed that the mugshot photographer did Lil Baby dirty with the angle. Another lamented the fact that everybody looks bad in a mugshot, regardless of appearance or wealth. “Ion care how much money you got,” they wrote. “Them mugshot folks gon always make you look homeless..”

Despite his combativeness with the police, Lil Baby’s attorney says that he was actually within his legal rights. David Chesnoff issued a statement to the Los Angeles Times stating that Lil Baby does, indeed, have a permit to carry a firearm. “[He has] a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit,” the attorney wrote. “On his behalf we are actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding his arrest in Las Vegas.”

This is not Baby’s first rodeo. He was arrested for reckless driving back in 2019. Two years later, he was detained in France on suspicion of “transporting drugs.” CBS states that Baby was not officially arrested or charged during his detainment. He subsequently paid a fine. The rapper celebrated his freedom on Instagram the next day. “Thank You To Everyone Who (Checked) On Me!! I’m Good,” he wrote. “I’m (On The Way) To The States To Rock My Show At The Pavilion At Pan Am In Indianapolis!!”

Lil Baby Arrested In Las Vegas: Details

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada on Monday, according to a new report from TMZ. Overall, the artist was arrested for allegedly carrying a concealed weapon. While this in and of itself does not warrant an arrest, he was allegedly doing so without a permit, which is, in fact, illegal. The artist was subsequently taken to the Clark County Detention Center. His bail was set at $5000 and as it stands, it is unknown whether or not he was released yet or not.

The artist is one of the biggest names in hip-hop right now. Ever since 2018, Lil Baby has been on a magical run that has included chart-topping albums, some truly massive singles, and a feature run that is more than impressive. In recent years, some fans have made complaints about his growth, although his last few efforts have gotten him back into the good graces of fans. Hopefully, he will be able to keep that momentum up.

Lil Baby Detained In Nevada

As for this arrest, it remains to be seen what will come from it. This is not the first time the artist has been arrested. Albeit, his previous arrests are for reckless driving and a minor marijuana possession offense in Paris, back in 2021. Regardless, this certainly isn’t what the artist was hoping for during his trip to the Casino capital of the United States.

This is a developing story and very few details are known at this juncture. However, we will be sure to bring you new information, as soon as it becomes available. Having said that, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the hip-hop world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
