California rapper Kid Ink has stepped forward to clear the air on weekend reports which claim he spent a short stint behind bars in Las Vegas on a disturbing the peace charge.
Despite the high-profile arrest, Ink downplayed the seriousness behind his situation.
The rapper tells Billboard that has no concerns that the charges in Las Vegas will be an issue. Asked about what happened Friday night, when it is alleged a scuffle broke out around 2 a.m. following his appearance at 1 OAK, he just says, “It’s all good. I’m just looking forward to taking my tour overseas in the next few days.” (Billboard)
Details of Ink’s Saturday (August 16) morning arrest initially landed online the day after.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … cops raced to 1Oak nightclub in the Mirage just before 3 AM after a 911 call about a fight in the club. Several eyewitnesses tell us … Kid Ink’s female friend started the scuffle. We’re told the woman was acting belligerent as the 2 left the club … and when security confronted them the “Show Me” rapper and his crew started getting physical. (TMZ)
Not alone in the arrest, reports claimed Ink’s female friend also found herself in handcuffs.
Police hauled the rapper and his female friend off to jail. The woman was booked for giving a false statement to officers — we don’t know what she told them — and Ink was booked for disturbing the peace. He’ll be released Saturday afternoon without posting bail. He’s ordered to appear in court Monday. (TMZ)
Coincidentally, Ink appeared in good spirits on social media Sunday (August 17).
“Love all my fans who showed support today,” Ink tweeted August 17. (Kid Ink’s Twitter)
