Rapper YG Arrested for a Misdemeanor DUI

Lyndon Abioye |

West Coast rapper YG was reportedly arrested on suspicion of DUI yesterday morning.

YG, real name  Keenon Daequan Ray Jackson, was booked for misdemeanor DUI on Oct. 1 after being handcuffed after police located him standing outside his car. At the time, he told officers he had driven his red Lamborghini over a curb.

Burbank Police Department says that he “displayed objective symptoms of alcohol intoxication.” 

“We will be contesting the allegations, and they are just that — merely allegations,” the rapper’s attorney, Joe Tacopina.

“One thing is obvious,” Tacopina added. “YG seems to have a bullseye on his back by certain members of law enforcement and we will be addressing that.”

The rapper last faced legal trouble back in 2020 when police raided his Los Angeles home after obtaining a search warrant. YG was suspected of being involved in a 2018 robbery but he did not face any charges.

YG has not personally spoken about the arrest.
