YG is no longer facing charges after a misdemeanor DUI arrest in Burbank last October.

On Wednesday (February 5), TMZ reported that the Burbank City Attorney’s Office dismissed the case due to a lack of evidence. Joe Tacopina, the rapper’s attorney—who also represents A$AP Rocky in his ongoing gun case—told the outlet the case was thrown out largely because YG wasn’t inside the vehicle when officers arrived. In the early hours of October 1, police spotted the “Who Do You Love” artist after he accidentally hit a curb. He was already outside his car when they approached. While officers didn’t administer a breathalyzer, they did collect a blood sample.

YG was later charged with a misdemeanor DUI.

YG, Freddie Gibbs, and CM Punk Join Night Patrol

YG, Freddie Gibbs, and WWE’s CM Punk are among those joining the indie horror film Night Patrol.

An October Hollywood Reporter article revealed that Justin Long, Jermaine Fowler, and RJ Cyler will lead the Ryan Prows-directed project, slated for release later this year. According to the provided details, “LAPD officer (Fowler) must put aside his differences with the area’s street gangs when he discovers a local police task force is harboring a horrific secret that endangers the residents of the housing projects he grew up in.” This isn’t their first foray into acting.

Gibbs recently starred in Down With The King, earning critical acclaim for his portrayal of Money Merc, a rapper seeking inspiration in the rural Berkshires while crafting his next album. YG has left his mark on film and television, directing and starring in a short film accompanying his 2014 album, Blame It On The Streets. Expanding his business portfolio, the Compton rapper recently introduced Cherry Bomb, a male enhancement product.
