Young Thug’s big night didn’t go as planned.
The Atlanta rapper was arrested outside a Dave & Buster’s in Hollywood on Thursday night following his joint 27th birthday and listening party.
Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, was booked on a weapons possession charge and was being held on $35,000 bail, Officer Drake Madison said.
According to The Blast, the rapper and his entourage were leaving the party when one of the cars he was traveling with hit a police car. During a subsequent search, cops allegedly found several guns, including an AK-47.
In addition to Thug, several other people were reportedly arrested. The rapper has since been released from custody.
“Faster then the officers got off… #SlimeLanguage lil bitch,” he captioned a selfie posted to Instagram following his release.
A rep for Thug declined to comment.
