Lil Baby Arrested, James Harden Detained In Paris: Report

Lil Baby and James Harden are presently in France for Paris Fashion Week, attending the Balenciaga show on Wednesday. They’ve been parading around the city and looking stylish while doing so, but their trip has unfortunately been dampened by a run-in with the police.

According to multiple reports, Lil Baby was arrested and James Harden was detained by police on Thursday. Videos are starting to circulate across social media, showing police officers swarming Harden, who said that he didn’t understand what was happening. A second video shows Lil Baby in the back of a police car, which was used to transport him to the local station. Apparently, Baby and two others were arrested for weed-related charges after being caught with 20 grams of marijuana in their car.
