Lil Baby arrested in Las Vegas for illegal gun possession

Lil Baby found himself in legal hot water on Monday night in Las Vegas. The Grammy-nominated artist was arrested for carrying a concealed firearm without the proper permit, a felony offense in Nevada, per TMZ.

According to sources, Lil Baby, whose real name is Dominique Jones, was seen at the Encore, where he was reportedly passed a gun. After a brief investigation, authorities charged him with possessing a concealed weapon without a permit. The rapper was taken to the Clark County Detention Center, where he is being held on $5,000 bail.

This incident has sparked significant media attention, especially given that Lil Baby holds a valid Georgia Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit. However, Nevada law does not recognize CCW permits issued by other states, which led to his arrest.

Meanwhile, Lil Baby’s legal team, prominent attorneys Drew Findling and David Chesnoff, have addressed the situation, stating, “To be clear, Dominique Jones has a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit. On his behalf, we are actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding his arrest in Las Vegas.”

Furthermore, the rapper’s team is working diligently to resolve the matter, but the situation highlights the complexities of firearm laws across different states. Nevada’s strict regulations on concealed weapons underscore the importance for travelers to be aware of local laws, particularly when carrying firearms.

This also comes after Lil Baby revealed over the weekend, that he’s almost done with his next studio album. Currently, he’s at “80%.”
