A$AP Rocky is a suspect in a shooting that allegedly occurred in November 2021. According to TMZ, A$AP Rocky was arrested as he landed at Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday morning. The rapper is alleged to have flown into Los Angeles on a private plane from Barbados, where he was intercepted by authorities at the airport and hauled away in handcuffs. According to reports, Rocky was arrested in connection with an incident on November 6, 2021, in which an accused victim said Rocky shot at them three or four times, grazing his left hand. Cops said A$AP knew the accused victim and that the shooting occurred during an argument between the two.
