According to TMZ, YG was arrested following a raid on his San Fernando Valley home around 4 am on charges of robbery, and his bail was set at $250,000.
YG's attorney Joe Tacopina commented on the case, telling TMZ, "This arrest is one that caught YG completely off guard because there is no truth to them. YG has no idea what investigators are talking about and we have not been provided with any details ... we are learning about this case through the media. Rest assured, my client will be cleared of all charges, if they even survive past the arraignment."
Tacopina added, "YG has a performance scheduled at The Grammy's Sunday where he will honor Nipsey Hussle ... so the timing is suspect, to put it mildly."
The famed attorney went on to address reports that YG was arrested as part of an ongoing investigation, stating, "This has become even more outrageous ... normally, in the American justice system, you get arrested after an investigation is completed. The motives here are pretty clear."
