TMZ obtained and released a clip that captured the “Yes Indeed” rapper being detained outside of Encore Las Vegas. Lil Baby can be seen in handcuffs and yelling out to someone, “I need 200 bands. Call this number for me,” before repeatedly making the claim that he had the proper license to carry the gun and should not be getting arrested.

The outlet also provided an update from Lil Baby’s attorneys on Tuesday (Aug. 27). Drew Findling and David Chesnoff stated, “To be clear, Dominique Jones has a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit. On his behalf, we are actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding his arrest in Las Vegas.”

TMZ also reported the authorities showed up because the 29-year-old spitter was caught on video being passed a gun at the venue.
