DaBaby is said to have been detained by police from Beverly Hills Police Department while on Rodeo Drive.
The star was seen close to a designer clothes store on the popular street, close to the centre of Hollywood on Thursday when police officers stopped him.
Officers were heard instructing him to “get out of the car” before asking: “does that first one have anything?” as they demanded he rolled the blacked-out window of the SUV down, on more than one occasion.
According to footage filmed at the scene of the incident, police officers told the driver of the vehicle they were following reports of somebody in the group being in possession of a gun.
