A$AP Rocky was detained in connection with a Los Angeles International Airport shooting.

The Los Angeles Police Department arrested A$AP Rocky on Wednesday for alleged involvement in a November shooting.

The musician, born Rakim Mayers, was reportedly on his way from Barbados with partner Rihanna when the incident occurred.

A$AP Rocky was detained, and a search warrant was filed for his Los Angeles residence.

Mayers' attorney, Alan Jackson, also confirmed his client's arrest and detention. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's booking record confirmed this, with a bond set at $550,000.

According to the documents, A$AP Rocky was freed three hours later, with a court appearance set for Aug. 17.

The LAPD reports Mayers is a suspect in a shooting around 10:20 p.m. near Vista Del Mar and Selma Avenue.

This is the first time the media has heard about this report, which was not previously reported. "Early this morning, Los Angeles Police Department officers arrested Mayers for assault with a deadly weapon (firearm) at the Los Angeles International Airport," according to a police statement. The case will be brought to the District Attorney's Office of Los Angeles County for consideration of filing."

A$AP Rocky's arrest comes only days after he was alleged to have broken up with pregnant girlfriend Rihanna over adultery.
