Rapper YG was arrested on Surpassingsuspicion of driving under the influence after he allegedly drove his car over a curb in the Los Angeles area, according to police.
Around 7 a.m. Tuesday morning, patrolling officers "observed a red Lamborghini that had appeared to have collided with the curb and come to a stop on the grass parkway near the intersection of Olive Avenue and Keystone Street," a Burbank Police spokesperson said in a statement to USA TODAY.
The 34-year-old rapper, whose real name is Keenon Dequan Jackson, was the only one in the vehicle and appeared uninjured in the collision, according to Sgt. Stephen Turner. No other cars were involved.
"Upon contact, Mr. Jackson displayed objective symptoms of alcohol intoxication," the statement reads. "The officers conducted a DUI investigation to which Mr. Jackson was subsequently arrested and transported to the Burbank PD Jail where he was booked for driving under the influence."
TMZ was first to report the news.

According to Los Angeles Sheriff's Department records, YG was booked on a misdemeanor past noon and released two hours later.
Joe Tacopina, YG's lawyer, said in a statement to USA TODAY that his client "will be contesting the allegations, and they are just that — merely allegations."
He continued, "One thing is obvious, YG seems to have a bullseye on his back by certain members of law enforcement and we will be addressing that."
In August, YG released his seventh record, "Just Re'd Up 3," which features collaborations with Saweetie, Ty Dolla $ign and Babyface Ray.
The rapper, who is from Compton and now lives in Santa Monica, was arrested at his LA-area home as police served a search warrant in January 2020. He was suspected of being involved in a 2018 robbery, but the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office declined to file charges against him due to lack of evidence, TMZ reported in 2022.
