Roddy Ricch is facing some serious legal issues in New York, after he was busted with a gun and ammo before the Governors Ball festival.

31 Authorities report that Roddy Ricch, whose real name is Rodrick Moore Jr., and two other people were arrested on four charges of criminal possession of a weapon, possession of a large capacity ammo feeding device, and unlawful possession of that device after the cops searched the vehicle he was riding in. The fans were shocked not only because another artist wasnt going to appear in the annual Queens-based festival, but they obviously wanted to know why the Cooped Up rapper was going to be a no-show. Police say that as Roddy Ricch and his entourage made their way through a checkpoint for the festival shortly before his set, they discovered a loaded firearm with nine rounds of ammunition and an extended clip. Roddy Ricchs arrest is another headache for Governors Ball organizers, who had to deal with a cancellation from the Migos earlier this week. The Atlanta rappers replacement, Lil Wayne, was tapped as a last-minute headliner, but he bailed as well, telling concert promoters that he wouldnt make his Friday night set just hours before he was supposed to perform due to flight disruption. No word yet on when Roddy Ricch will appear in court for the four weapons charges. Share AllHipHop | Read more
