Rapper Tyga has been arrested for an alleged domestic abuse incident.
Gatekeepers News reports that 31-year-old rapper, Tyga whose real name is Michael Stevenson, turned himself in to the Los Angeles Police Department’s Hollywood precinct Tuesday morning, public information officer Lizeth Lomeli confirmed to USA TODAY.
Officers first responded to the domestic violence incident early Monday, Lomeli said.
The “Taste” singer was booked for felony domestic violence, according to a statement from LAPD’s social media account. The authenticity of the tweet was confirmed by an LAPD representative to USA TODAY.
Stevenson was released after posting a $50,000 bond, jail records showed.
The arrest comes one day after Stevenson’s ex-girlfriend Camaryn Swanson shared photos of alleged abuse to her Instagram Story.
Swanson wrote Monday she was “physically assaulted,” although she didn’t name Stevenson specifically.
LAPD would not confirm the parties involved in the alleged altercation with Stevenson.
“I’ve been emotionally, mentally and physically abused and I’m not hiding it anymore,” Swanson wrote alongside a photo of herself with a bruised eye. In another photo, she added, “I’m so embarrassed and ashamed it had to get to this but I have to stand up for myself.”
Stevenson and Swanson went official on Instagram with their relationship in February. The couple have since deleted photos of each other from their respective social media accounts.
The rapper previously dated Kylie Jenner from 2015-2017 and shares 8-year-old son King Cairo with model Blac Chyna, which he dated from 2011-2014.
