Chicago rapper Lil Reese was reportedly arrested over the weekend, according to Boosie Badazz. The Baton Rogue native uploaded a video to his Instagram account claiming Reese was handcuffed and taken into custody at a hotel in downtown Los Angeles. Charges are unknown at this time.
“I’m at the hotel downtown and they just took Lil Reese to jail,” he says in the clip. “He came out handcuffed. They had all his bags, so if any y’all Lil Reese people, y’all need to check on him. They just took him to jail. Some woman said he lied on him or some s###. Any of Reese’s people, the Grim Reaper people, they just took him to jail downtown L.A. and put him in a car. Y’all need to tap in with your people.”
