Police have uncovered several guns at A$AP Rocky’s LA home, though it remains unclear whether any of the firearms were used in connection to a shooting in Hollywood back in November. According to TMZ, all of the guns found at the rapper’s property have been seized, with detectives now expected to run “ballistic tests” to determine whether A$AP is linked to the altercation that saw a quarrel escalate to gunfire.
The Fashion Killa hitmaker was arrested at an LAX terminal last week following a trip to Barbados with his heavily pregnant girlfriend, Rihanna. He was booked for assault with a deadly weapon tied to November’s shooting, where an alleged argument erupted between Rocky and a companion and an unidentified victim, whose hand was reportedly “grazed” from the gunshot. It’s believed that A$AP and the person who was harmed were “acquaintances.”

The publication further claims that A$AP was startled by his arrest at LAX, adding that instead of giving him a voluntary surrender, police took matters into their own hands as soon as he stepped off the private jet. They were concerned that if they had given him a heads up, there could have been a chance someone would clear his home before cops searched the property. If the gun proves to have been the weapon used in connection to last year’s shooting, it would ultimately secure prosecutors with a case against the 33-year-old father-to-be, who has yet to be charged for the incident.
Previous reports have claimed that Rihanna was just as baffled by her beau’s arrest as he was after watching him being escorted and taken into custody by cops following their arrival at LAX. The What’s My Name chart-topper has canceled her baby shower due to the stress that came with last week’s ordeal as Rih-Rih nears the end of her pregnancy and wants to focus her full attention on a swift healthy delivery.
“Rihanna was there when Rocky was arrested and has been crying non-stop. She’s heavily pregnant and these are very serious accusations, it’s a nightmare scenario for her,” an insider told The Sun. “It was meant to be Rihanna’s baby shower in LA on Wednesday night but they had to cancel.”
The source concluded, “Rihanna was very, very upset and stressed by Rocky’s arrest. It’s not the best time for her to be on such an emotional rollercoaster.”
A$AP was released on a $550,000 bail the day of his arrest. Despite the troubling situation, he and Rihanna put on a brave face when they were spotted heading for dinner at celeb hotspot Giorgia Baldi in Santa Monica over the weekend. The Bajan beauty sported casual attire for the outing, dressed in a bedazzling bra and matching shorts with an unbuttoned oversized shirt that had her baby bump on full display.
