Lil Baby has gotten himself into some trouble.

According to court records, the Atlanta rapper — whose real name is Dominique Armani Jones — was arrested after being accused of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit in Las Vegas.

The 29-year-old rapper was arrested around 5 a.m. after an incident occurred on the 3100 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard. Additional details were not disclosed.

His attorneys, Drew Findling and David Chesnoff, released a joint statement that they were “actively investigating” why Lil Baby was arrested in the first place because he has a valid permit.

“Dominique Jones has a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit,” they said. “On his behalf, we are actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding his arrest in Las Vegas.”

Georgia’s Department of Public Safety states that CCW permits from the state are not recognized in Nevada.

“Georgia weapons license holders should familiarize themselves with the individual requirements and limitations on Georgia weapons licenses in any of the states where they may wish to exercise their rights,” the website advises. “Weapons laws vary from state to state and there may be municipal or county ordinances regulating weapons in other states.”

Lil Baby was not formally charged with the crime, which is a felony in Nevada, and was released from custody after posting a $5,000 bond. He is due in court on October 1. He had been in town performing at a celeb-packed birthday party Sunday for Los Angeles Clippers star James Harden, clips shared on social media show.
