Lil Baby’s visit to Las Vegas took an unexpected turn when he was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

On Monday (August 26), the rapper was reportedly taken into custody in Las Vegas. According to TMZ, the “BAND4BAND” artist was being held at the Clark County Detention Center with bail set at $5,000. It remains unclear if he has since been released from police custody.

The rapper was in Las Vegas to celebrate his close friend James Harden’s birthday. Footage captured him partying with Harden, Travis Scott, Michael Rubin, and other celebrities at Drai’s nightclub.

In another video circulating online, Lil Baby is seen generously tipping staff at Toca Madera restaurant by counting out a large stack of $100 bills. Reportedly, he left an $11,000 tip for the lucky employees.

Beyond his legal troubles, Lil Baby recently shared plans to purchase all the stores he once hustled outside of. He has already acquired at least one such property in Atlanta, with plans to transform it into a smoke shop, symbolizing a transition from his past.

“I’m buying every store I trapped in front of,” he said in a video showing off the renovations. “Ain’t nothing wrong with buying chains and watches and s###; I got a lot of that stuff,” he explained, adding that he’s also focused on investing his money in new ventures.
