American rapper, YG has been arrested at his home in Los Angeles on suspicion of robbery two days before he is scheduled to perform at the Grammy awards.

Los Angeles county sheriff’s deputies took YG into custody at his home in Chatsworth on Friday, January 24, 2020, and also served a search warrant.

He was held on $250,000 bail and released on bond shortly after 9pm, according to the sheriff’s website.
