Young Thug Investigation Leads To Rapper Rico Richie's Arrest

Atlanta rapper Rico Richie was arrested yesterday (July 15) when authorities were investigating Young Thug’s involvement in a conspiracy to kill Lil Wayne, TMZ reports.

Richie was arrested for selling marijuana and possession of firearms. He was recording in the studio where Young Thug made the “Halftime” video when police found guns and marijuana.

The studio was under investigation because Young Thug’s tour manager, who is indicted for shooting at Lil Wayne’s tour bus, was seen with a gun in the “Halftime” video. The song features lyrics expressing violence towards Lil Wayne.

Richie’s team says that the guns and marijuana were not his, but he took responsibility.
