YoungBoy was understood to be riding in a car that the LAPD and the feds attempted to pull over because the rapper had an outstanding warrant.
Cops were led on a short pursuit, and after the car stopped, the rapper attempted to flee on foot and had to be sniffed out by a police dog.
It's not clear why YoungBoy was being apprehended, but the outlet reported that a firearm was found in the vehicle.
It's unclear if the gun belongs to the 21-year-old rapper.

The young artist has been involved in several brushes with the law in recent years, with the most recent being drug charges in September 2020.
YoungBoy was one of 16 people arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on various charges related to distribution and manufacturing of drugs and possession of stolen firearms.
His lawyer denied that he was guilty at the time.
The rapper also recently welcomed his seventh child with his girlfriend, boxer Floyd Mayweather's daughter Iyanna.

Last April, Iyanna was arrested for stabbing Lapattra Lashai Jacobs, the mother of another one of the rapper's children.
