Lil Baby incited a social media inferno when his arrest mugshot was released to the public on Thursday, Aug. 29.


The episode popped off late Monday night when the Atlanta-born rapper, whose real name is Dominique Armani Jones, was eyed by a witness handling a handgun inside a nightclub at the Encore Casino and Resort Hotel in Las Vegas.


The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department descended on the scene and detained the 29-year-old “Drip Too Hard” spitter, eventually transporting him to the Clark County Detention Center. He was later released on a $5000 bond.

Lil Baby’s attorneys, Drew Findling and David Chesnoff, rushed to put out the fires their client had started. 


“To be clear, Dominique Jones has a valid Georgia carrying a concealed weapon (CCW) permit,” the pair said in a statement obtained by TMZ

The problem is that Nevada reportedly does not recognize a Georgia gun permit.

Fans have plenty of jokes about Lil Baby’s mugshot

Meanwhile, fans had fun mocking Lil Baby’s unkept appearance, which they theorize was drug- or alcohol-created, if not both.

“Why Lil Baby looking like a druggie in that mugshot?” asked one fan, referring to the mugshot when it was posted on X. Another commenter said, “They did lil baby filthy with that mugshot.”
