Shy Glizzy’s recent arrest in Los Angeles on May 13 stemmed from an altercation with his girlfriend. According to reports, the couple got into an argument, during which the “Like That” rapper allegedly pulled out a gun and made a threat. He then fled the scene before law enforcement arrived. 

His girlfriend, who remains unnamed, has formally requested a restraining order against him. However, it is important to note that no weapon was found on Shy Glizzy when he was apprehended. The rapper was released on a $50,000 bond on May 14. 

In response to the allegations, Shy Glizzy took to his Instagram story on May 15 to address the situation. He vehemently denied pulling a weapon or causing harm to his girlfriend, expressing frustration with the accusations. He urged people to stop spreading false information and questioned the motives behind the claims. 

Glizzy maintains his innocence and stands firm in his denial of the alleged incident.

Another rapper, Playboi Carti, faced legal trouble after allegedly assaulting his pregnant girlfriend. Additionally, Baton Rouge rapper Boosie was recently arrested in San Diego for gun possession while filming a music video. These recent incidents add to the list of rappers facing firearms-related legal issues, especially involving intimate relationships.

Shy Glizzy and Playboi Carti are not the only rappers who have faced assault allegations involving their girlfriends. In a similar case, Soulja Boy was ordered to pay over $200,000 to his ex-girlfriend after losing an assault case from 2019.
