Atlanta(AP): According to Georgia State Patrol, rapper Lil Baby was arrested in Atlanta after he recklessly passed other cars at high speed in an orange Corvette and tried to flee a state trooper.
The rapper, whose actual name is Dominique Jones is facing charges for failing to signal when changing lanes, reckless driving and attempting to elude police. He was booked into the Atlanta City Detention Center and was released on a signature bond.
A representative for Jones didn't respond to an email on Friday, seeking comment and it wasn't immediately clear whether he had an attorney.
A trooper saw Jones fail to signal when changing lanes on Thursday evening and then saw him recklessly pass other cars in an area with a lot of pedestrians, informed a State Patrol statement. The trooper activated his emergency equipment and chased Jones as he wove between cars at high speed.
The Atlanta rapper's songs "Yes Indeed" featuring Drake, and "Drip Too Hard" became Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot chart. Last week, he announced plans to headline The New Generation Tour which he will be kicking off next month, to support his latest mixtape "Street Gossip."
