Roddy Ricch Arrested On Gun Charges

Roddy Ricch was arrested on gun charges just hours before he prepared to perform at the Governors Ball in Queens, New York, on Saturday.

The “Box” rapper and two other men were on their way to the festival when police stopped their vehicle at a security checkpoint around 6:30 p.m..m. After searching the car, police found a loaded firearm, nine rounds of ammunition and a large capacity magazine, TMZ reported.

Roddy, whose real name is Rodrick Moore, and his two associates, driver Carlos Collins and bodyguard Michael Figueroa, have been charged with four crimes, including criminal possession of a weapon, possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device, and illegal possession of that device.

Fans have been informed that Roddy will not perform 45 minutes after the scheduled 18:30 .m. slot while he is not performing on stage. Amid rumours of his arrest, the festival said: “Unfortunately Roddy Ricch is no longer performing today.”
