Roddy Ricch was arrested on gun possession charges just hours before he was set to perform at the 2022 Governors Ball festival in New York City last night.

In the car was Roddy Ricch, born Rodrick Moore, along with two other men, who were subsequently arrested by the responding officers. Additionally, police discovered a loaded firearm with nine rounds of ammunition, as well as a large capacity magazine. All three individuals were brought back to the 110 Precinct police station in Queens, N.Y. for arrest processing.
