Lil Baby Mugshot Sends Fans Into A Frenzied Mess

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

Atlanta rapper Lil Baby found himself at the center of a social media storm today after his mugshot was released following his arrest for allegedly carrying a concealed weapon without a permit in Las Vegas.


The incident occurred late Monday night in a club when the musician, whose real name is Dominique Jones, was reportedly seen handling a firearm on video.

Authorities detained the 29-year-old artist, leading to his booking at the Clark County Detention Center.

Despite the allegations, the rap star’s legal representatives, Drew Findling and David Chesnoff, soon issued a statement defending their client’s actions.

“To be clear, Dominique Jones has a valid Georgia carrying a concealed weapon (CCW) permit,” they conveyed through TMZ.

The attorneys mentioned their active efforts to scrutinize the events leading to Jones’ arrest.

After spending some time in custody, Lil Baby was released without formal charges but is scheduled to appear in Las Vegas court on October 1.

His arrest has drawn considerable attention, in part due to a mugshot circulating with lightning speed across social media.

Many commenters are critiquing the appearance of Lil Baby in the mugshot, with comments suggesting that he looks unkempt or like a “druggie.”

Other users made light-hearted jokes, while others are critical, describing the image in unflattering terms.

Conversely, @missbrim expressed admiration by saying, “I love lil baby,” also using an emotional emoji.

User @yorboit humorously noted, “Lil Baby mugshot is going to be on everybody profile pictures,” referencing the current trend of sharing mugshots, along with laughing emojis.
