Source is not a happy camper. The rapper found himself in cuffs over the weekend for allegedly possessing a weapon.
According to TMZ, cops arrested the entertainer Sunday evening. Law enforcement told the outlet that Herbo was busted around 5:45 PM near North Wabash Avenue and East Ontario Street, where cops claim they found a gun on him. From there, he was arrested and booked for misdemeanor unlawful use of a weapon in a public place.
Since then, Herbo bonded out. He’s expected to appear in court at a later date, per TMZ. G Herbo has not publicly spoken out on his latest arrest but has been posting on social media.
Herbo has more legal problems to deal with. As previously reported, the drill rapper is still dealing with fraud charges from 2020. The 27-year-old G along with his music promoter and other members of his crew were accused of allegedly conspiring to defraud numerous businesses with stolen credit cards over the course of a 4-year period.
The feds allege the rapper used an alias and a stolen credit card to purchase 2 “designer puppies” from a luxury pet store. Feds also alleged at the time that the other defendants got a private jet charters to fly women, private yacht charters, exotic car rentals and luxury hotel and vacation rental accommodations.
After surrendering to authorities in L.A, a rep for G Herbo told the outlet, “He (G Herbo) maintains his innocence and looks forward to establishing his innocence in court.” They continued, “Herbo has legal representation in Massachusetts via Prince Lobel, whose team has reached out to the US Attorney’s office in Massachusetts to make arrangements for Herbo’s appearance. G Herbo will appear in Massachusetts whenever he is required either in person or via Zoom.”
G Herbo is not the only entertainer to be arrested for gun possession. As we previously reported, actor and fellow rapper Lil Meech was arrested back in December at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Sources told the news outlet at the time that he had a Glock 19 9mm but it wasn’t loaded. However, cops noted that they found a 15-round magazine. It was also said that Lil Meech did not have a carry permit…

That situation turned out to be a mixup. The bodyguard admitted to owning the gun at the time of the arrest, however authorities reportedly ignored him. The Broward County State Attorney’s Office later decided to drop its original felony charge of “introducing a firearm into the sterile area of the airport” against Lil Meech.
The BMF star’s attorney Bradford Cohen also presented prosecutors with a purchase receipt, gun case and license to carry that all effectively prove the gun did not belong to his client.
