According to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department booking report and confirmed by Variety and NBC News, the musician’s bail amount was set at $550,000. The reports say that the singer was released after posting the bond. However, a court date has been set for August 17th.

A$AP Rocky, also known by his real name of Rakim Mayers, was arrested after landing at Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday in connection with a non-fatal shooting in November 2021. The arrest was confirmed by the LAPD and Alan Jackson, A$AP Rocky’s attorney. In a statement posted to Twitter the LAPD said:
“Early this morning, LAPD officers arrested Mayers for assault with a deadly weapon (firearm) at the Los Angeles International Airport. The case will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for filing consideration.”
