YG is a wealthy recording artist, who shouldn't be robbing people.

Yet YG was arrested early this morning for robbery in Los Angeles.

The cops showed up at his San Fernando Valley home around 4 AM and slapped him with a search warrant.  After doing their things, the cops arrested YG for robbery.  He is currently being booked.

It's unclear if this is related to an incident an Escalade he owned was involved in last July which resulted in someone in the SUV shooting a killing a 65-year-old man on a bicycle. YG denied being anywhere near the vehicle at the time, and it seemed from the direction of the investigation the authorities were buying that.

We'll update this story when we got more info.
