Jay Rock was arrested in LA on Thursday after cops stopped him for alleged trespassing in Nickerson Gardens.
According to NBC Los Angeles, the Grammy-winning rapper was taken into custody by LAPD around 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 13. Police nabbed him for trespassing and public drinking in Nickerson Gardens, where he was raised. He reportedly tried to run from his car but police caught him and searched his vehicle, where they allegedly found a gun. He’s now booked on suspicion of felony weapons violation.
The 39-year-old rapper hasn’t made any statement about the arrest.
Jay Rock appeared at Kendrick Lamar’s The Pop-Out: Ken and Friends show in Los Angeles last year as part of a brief Black Hippy reunion. He also hit the stage at TDE’s annual Holiday Toy Drive alongside Ab-Soul, Doechii, Schoolboy Q, and SZA. While he hasn’t dropped a major album since 2018’s Redemption, he’s been teasing a project called Eastside Johnny and released several singles in 2023.
