West Coast rapper YG had an unexpected run-in with law enforcement this week. New reports claim the hip-hop star landed behind bars on a robbery charge in Las Vegas.
According to reports, YG appeared in a Sin City court Thursday (July 12) after having a warrant issued for his arrest. The hip-hop artist turned himself in on a felony robbery charge but then posted $20,000 bail.
Vegas police tell us … the incident went down in late May at the Cosmopolitan around 4 AM, after a man approached YG and asked for a pic but was turned away by his crew. We’re told the guy told YG he’s not a real celeb … and casino’s surveillance footage shows YG retaliating by yanking a chain off his neck. We’re told the chain fell to the ground, and YG is then seen on video picking up the necklace pendant — valued somewhere between $3,000 and $9,000 — before taking off. (TMZ)
A few days ago, YG shared a dope in-studio pic of himself and New York rapper A$AP Rocky.

Stay Dangerous is YG’s first album since 2016’s Still Brazy. Earlier this year he shared the single “Suu Whoop.”. He was also a featured artist on 2 Chainz’s EP The Play Don’t Care Who Makes It and Nipsey Hussle’s album Victory Lap. (The FADER)
