Update #1 (July 9th): Lil Baby has been released from custody after being arrested in Paris yesterday (July 8th).

According to Associated Press, he was released earlier this morning (July 9th) and hit with a fine. It was also noted that while James Harden was with the rapper during the arrest, he was frisked but not arrested.

More details of the arrest were also made public. It was reported that plainclothes officers stopped the NBA star and Lil Baby due to a strong smell of marijuana from the car. At first, Lil Baby didn’t let the police search the car (it was said to be a chaotic moment since he and James Harden didn’t understand what was going on because of the language barrier).

Officers in uniforms then got to the scene, searched the vehicle, and discovered 32 grams of cannabis.

Lil Baby and his bodyguard were arrested on suspicion of transporting drugs.

Lil Baby shared a photo on his Instagram stories after his release.
