Thug Rapper With Dumb Name Apprehended With Concealed Weapon At LAX

Rapper Rich the Kid was arrested while trying to go through security at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday.

Law enforcement officials said that the 28-year-old performer was taken into custody for possession of a concealed weapon. Authorities said the firearm that was discovered in his carry-on luggage was loaded.

A video circulating on social media shows Rich the Kid in handcuffs as he is being led by law enforcement out of the terminal towards a police car.

The rapper dealt with a multitude of legal issues in 2020, including being sued by a jewelry store and a management company.

In 2019, Rich was the target of a shooting at a West Hollywood studio, and in 2018 the rapper had to be hospitalized after a reported home invasion robbery.
