According to TMZ, the star had a tense run-in with law enforcement Thursday morning during a high-stakes SWAT response, but he was ultimately released.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to law enforcement sources, the SWAT team swarmed a location in Burbank, CA, around 7 a.m. PT. YG was detained during the operation, but officers eventually let him go. We\u2019re told the California Highway Patrol was the lead agency on the scene, with the Burbank SWAT team providing backup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodunlocked.com\/yg-releases-new-song-tiffany-and-raps-about-a-transgender-woman-revealing-her-identity-right-before-sex\/\">RELATED: YG Releases New Song \u201cTiffany\u201d And Raps About A Transgender Woman Revealing Her Identity Right Before Sex<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason for the raid? Sources say cops were executing a search warrant as part of the ongoing investigation into the murder of Drakeo the Ruler. The property in question is connected to YG, who famously had beef with the late rapper\u2014though he has consistently denied any involvement in the tragedy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A CHP official confirmed to TMZ that YG was not arrested, noting that he was simply detained during the execution of the search warrant and subsequently released.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The timing of this drama is especially wild. YG is scheduled to take the stage tonight to face off against fellow Compton heavyweight The Game in their highly anticipated \u201cCompton Forever\u201d VERZUZ battle. The hit-for-hit West Coast showdown is set to kick off at 6:30 p.m. PT, meaning YG went from a morning face-off with Burbank\u2019s finest to a massive musical showdown!<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 --><\/p><\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rapper YG had a wild start to his day hours before he\u2019s scheduled for his VERZUZ battle tonight.
