Tyga's in trouble with the law...again!
The 24-year-old "Coconut Juice" rapper was handcuffed and cited for reckless driving in South Central, Los Angeles, according to a report from TMZ. The incident reportedly occurred Monday during Tyga's music video shoot for "Make It Work."
In a video obtained by TMZ, Tyga is seen being pulled over while driving a Rolls-Royce, and then handcuffed while several police officers and six cop cars surrounded him. He was reportedly released shortly after being detained. However, Tyga's bodyguard was arrested for possession of a gun that was not registered in California.
"LAPD air unit observed a vehicle drive away from that location and observed the vehicle driving recklessly," Officer Kim, a spokesperson for the LAPD, told Us Weekly. "Los Angeles Police School Police officers conducted a traffic stop at Hoover and Florence where the driver was cited and released, for a traffic violation and the body guard was detained for further investigation for an unknown charge."
"I don't know if [Tyga's bodyguard] had been arrested, I don't know if they'll release him but I know he is being detained upon further investigation. I just don't know what the exact charge will be or what they are investigating but he is being detained [for a separate matter]," the officer said.
Due to the minor mishap, Tyga missed a scheduled appearance at an event at the House of Blues in L.A. featuring Chris Brown and Trey Songz to announce their collaborative tour Between the Sheets.
