YG was allegedly arrested in LA for a misdemeanor charge of DUI.
As per the reports from TMZ, the police came in contact with the “Big Bank” rapper early on Tuesday, (October 1), after he was involved in an incident where he drove over a curb. Officers saw him out of the car’s interior, not performing a breathalyzer test but did take his blood.
Thereafter, he was booked with a misdemeanor DUI offense.
YG makes a surprising admission that he is not a very big fan of his 2016 acclaimed album, Still Brazy. Recently conversing with Schoolboy Q on his 4Hunnid podcast, YG explained that his heart wasn’t at the right place during the time he made the album, and as a result, it ended up with undesired vibes from his viewpoint.
“I fuck with certain parts of it, but you gotta understand…,” he explained.
“I was in a dark-ass place when I made that album. My album wasn’t even supposed to sound like that. I started recording that album right around the time I got shot.
“I was just going through all that shit. And then I fell out with the homies,” he continued. “N-gga, I was in a dark-ass place. I had my newborn daughter but it was just dark. I was making shit that I didn’t even wanna… I was trying to be on some other shit but it wasn’t there. So I had to do the dark shit.”
Compton rapper YG is fresh off releasing his new album, I Got Issues, which arrived last month. On Tuesday (October 25), the rapper hopped on social media to announce The Red Cup Tour to promote the new album.
The trek will begin in January, 2023 and end in February. In the company of Kalan.frfr, Day Sulan, OhGeesy and D3szn, YG will visit 17 cities across the US. Among the cities on the schedule are Los Angeles, New York City, Oakland, Detroit among others.
Released on September 30, I Got Issues is YG’s sixth studio album and features Mozzy, D3szn, Duki, Cuco, J. Cole, Moneybagg Yo, H.E.R., Roddy Ricch, Post Malone, and Nas.
On the production part, YG connected with the likes of Bijan Amir, Larry Jayy, Reece Beats, Ambiance Sound, DJ Vision, Swish, Mike Crook, Blake Straus, Tom Levesque, Gibbo, 18YOMAN, and Lil Rich, and more.
LA-rapper YG dropped the single “Stop Snitchin’” in April of 2019 and a few short years later the song from his album 4REAL 4REAL was officially a platinum record. The song features a dead rat on the album art and is an obvious statement of how he feels about people cooperating with the police. It was produced by TnTXD & Yung Tago.
The track got a remix featuring DaBaby. According to Genius, “On the track, the two express their displeasure with phony people who hide their true identity and reveal their illegal activities to the police.”
That’s right, the rapper that put Bompton on the map was born on March 9, 1990, as Keenon Dequan Ray Jackson. He got his start with fellow artist Ty Dolla $ign and has gone on to work with Drake, Kamayiah, and H.E.R. He’s worked with Nipsey Hussle more than once.
YG has been able to leverage his gangsta into pop appeal, working with the likes of Mariah Carey and others. He has a label called 4 Hunnid Records. In addition to his own solo work, he has a collaborative album with Sacramento rapper Mozzy.
California rapper Slim 400 has passed away after getting shot in his hometown of Inglewood, Los Angeles at just 33. TMZ confirms that Slim was fatally shot on Wednesday night (Dec. 8) but there are no details on how the deadly incident occurred or how many people were involved as of now.
Slim was a close associate of fellow Los Angeles rapper YG and they’ve collaborated on numerous tracks including “Bruisin’” and “Word is Bond.”

In 2019, the late rapper was targeted in another Los Angeles shooting and was hit 10 times but survived. After escaping the nearly fatal ambush at the time, Slim sat in an interview where he said, “I just feel like when you meant to be here and God have a plan for you, it ain’t no stoppin’ it.”
He added, “I hit the ground thinking it was over. My family came out, kept me alive, talking to me, dragging me in the house while they still shooting…My family, love her to death for just saving me. I just feel like I’m blessed just to be here ’cause I could have just died then and there.”
Rest in peace, Slim.

Two singles off the project had already been released; “Perfect Timing” with singer Blxst and “Brompton to Oark Park.” The cover art for the tape pays tribute to the late DMX, as it is a recreation of one poster image for Belly. Along with the project, Mozzy and YG also shared the music video for “Gangsta.”
The two MCs previously linked up on “Too Brazy” and “Thug’s Mansion.” With a fair share of success, the two tracks proved Mozzy and YG’s chemistry in the studio.
The project follows YG’s My Life 4Hunnid released last year, and Mozzy’s Occupational Hazard tape and his studio album Beyond Bulletproof from 2020 as well.
