Rich Boy, the Alabama rapper, most well-known for his 2006 hit “Throw Some D’s” featuring Polow Da Don, was arrested and booked into the Mobile Jail last Friday, Media Take Out has confirmed.
Rich Boy was arrested on two charges of third-degree domestic violence, with one specifying harassment and the other concerning assault, police claim. According to ABC 15 News, the arrest came as the result of an altercation with his parents.
Social media reports say that Rich Boy, 39, had fallen on hard times, after his rap career stalled – and moved back home with his parents.
Media Take Out learned that there is a video circulating online that shows the former XXL Freshman shirtless and involved in some sort of altercation. It is unclear if this alleged video is in connection to the rapper’s recent arrest.

Rich Boy got his first big break in the rap game in 2006, when he signed to Polow Da Don’s Zone 4 record label. He put out his debut self-titled album the following year, which contained the hit single “Throw Some D’s,” a track that peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in March of 2007. The same year, he won Rookie of the Year at the BET Hip Hop Awards and was a member of the inaugural XXL Freshman Class.
