It’s unclear how long he has been under FBI investigation or if anyone else has been implicated in the probe. 

The rapper’s attorney, Navarro Gray, told TMZ that he hopes it is ‘all a big misunderstanding’: ‘He sees the judge today. 

‘Hoping he gets released so we can clear things up expeditiously.’  

FBI agent Michael Driscoll said: ‘The fact that we arrested a chart-topping rap artist and a corrections officer as part of the conspiracy illustrates just how vile the drug trade has become.’ 

The rapper has been arrested in the past; in 2017, he was charged with drunk driving, reckless endangerment, aggravate unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, illegally changing lanes, and drag racing.
