Lil Baby was apprehended in Las Vegas on Monday (Aug. 26) for allegedly carrying a concealed firearm without a permit. While not much was known about his arrest then, TMZ released footage of the arrest on Wednesday (Aug. 28).

In the video, the “Emotionally Scarred” rapper offered a security guard $20,000 just to make a call. “You got a phone?” he asked before urging someone off-camera to come closer. Lil Baby continued, “I’ll give you [$20,000] to call this number for me … Aye, security — the Black guy — call this number for me. They’re locking me up for a gun, but I got a license.”

“Security, f**k your job. I’ll give you [$200,000] a year. I swear to God, security,” he said at one point. “I’ll give you [$200,000] a year. You don’t make [$200,000] here.”

Elsewhere, Lil Baby could be seen pleading with the officers to let him go, as he had a jet to catch. “We came here from LA for [James Harden’s] birthday. I got a show tonight,” the artist explained.

“Take my pants down. Y’all [better] search me good. If I got to jail with a gun, y’all n**gas gon’ die,” he went on to say. “Check me good. I got a gun in my nuts… Y’all let me in that car, I’ma shoot myself in the head.”

Not too long after Lil Baby’s arrest, attorneys Drew Findling and David Chesnoff issued a statement. They wrote, “To be clear, Dominique Jones has a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon Permit. On his behalf, we are actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding his arrest in Las Vegas.”

Though he hasn’t released much music of his own lately, Lil Baby has been on quite the feature run in 2024. He appeared on Ye and Ty Dolla Sign’s “FOREVER ROLLING” earlier in the month, preceded by assisting BossMan Dlow on “PJ” in July.
