Police in Paris have released Lil Baby from custody, per a new report.
The My Turn artist was released from custody on Friday after being fined for “having cannabis in his car,” according to the Associated Press, who cited the city prosecutor’s office in their report. As previously reported, Baby was initially stopped while he was with James Harden for Paris Fashion Week festivities. Harden is said to have been frisked but not arrested or otherwise detained.
The incident is said to have began with plainclothes officers stopping Harden and Baby, as well as a bodyguard, due to the allegedly “strong” scent of marijuana. Adding to the confusion was that both Harden and Baby were not initially aware of what was going on.
Ultimately, officers in uniform showed up on the scene, reportedly claiming to have discovered an estimated 32 grams of weed inside the vehicle. Both Baby and the aforementioned bodyguard were then taken into custody.
Early Friday morning, Baby thanked fans and loved ones for checking up on him in an Instagram post promoting a show in Indianapolis this weekend.
“I’m good,” Baby said.
In a Story update, he added he was “back at it.”
Complex has reached out to a rep for Lil Baby for additional comment and will update this post accordingly.
Also on Friday, the Space Jam: A New Legacy soundtrack—featuring the Lil Baby and Kirk Franklin collab “We Win”—hit streaming services.
