California rapper YG was arrested on suspicion of DUI on Tuesday in California.
The Burbank City Jail confirmed to PEOPLE that YG, born Keenon Daequan Ray Jackson, was arrested for misdemeanor DUI on Oct. 1. TMZ first reported, and multiple newspapers cited police as reporting that the rapper was handcuffed after police discovered him standing in front of his car, which he allegedly drove over a curb.
“We’re going to challenge the charges, and they’re just that – just charges,” “Who do you love?” the rapper’s attorney Joe Tacopina told PEOPLE when reached for comment.
