Cops used a K-9 dog to track down Youngboy and searched his car. Reportedly they  found a firearm in the car but did not say whether the weapon belonged to the rapper or someone else. It is also unclear what the prior warrant was for.

Last month it was reported YoungBoy was under federal investigation following his September 2020 arrest on drug and firearms charges. At the time, cops responded to reports that a large group of people were wielding weapons while filming a music video.

16 people were arrested. Drugs and weapons were found at the set but YoungBoy claimed none of them belonged to him.
