A$AP Rocky arrested at Los Angeles airport in connection with 2021 shooting
Rapper A$AP Rocky has been detained in California in connection with a shooting in Hollywood last year, authorities have said.
The 33-year-old, real name Rakim Mayers, was detained on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement on Wednesday.
He was held at Los Angeles International Airport, where he was arriving on a private plane from Barbados, NBC News reports.
He had been on holiday with his girlfriend, Rihanna, who is currently pregnant.
Mayers was wanted in connection with a shooting on 6 November last year after an argument escalated, authorities said.
Mayers is accused of firing a handgun at an acquaintance, who sustained a minor injury and later sought medical treatment, police said.
Mayers' RCA Records publicist and attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
