Famous rapper is handcuffed and arrested while trying to board a flight in Miami
The Florida-based performer, born Michael Lamar White, was picked up on an active warrant relating to a 2023 incident, according to a police report seen by NBC News.
The 26-year-old was listed in the lineup for Les Ardentes, a festival taking place in Belgium on Saturday.
It is understood he had an active Miami-Dade County warrant related to an invalid driver's license case.
Customs and Border Protection flagged the warrant as he went to board the flight to Europe on Thursday afternoon, sparking his arrest.
Video captured of the arrest shows White being handcuffed as he was surrounded by at least seven officers.
He responded without incident, but a crowd had gathered and were shouting at the officers as White was dragged out of the airport.
He was allegedly released on a $150 bond.
After his release, Redd went back to posting on X as fans desperately await an update on new music.
'Get ready I'm coming different this time on my life all in house work,' he assured them.
The rapper's debut album, Life's a Trip, was released in August 2018 and soared to number four on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

People smuggler who trafficked adults and children into Britain claimed he shouldn't be deported because 'it would be too disruptive for his daughter'
A people smuggler who trafficked adults and children into Britain has claimed he shouldn't be deported because 'it would be too disruptive for his daughter'. Miklovan Bazegurore is wanted by authorities in Ghent where he was previously sentenced to five years in jail for his part of a human trafficking ring. The Kosovan national had put several adult's and children's lives at risk by smuggling them in the backs of lorries - including one that contained a concrete mixing mill. But his lawyers cited the convicted criminal's right to a family life under European Court of Human Rights act in their appeal against extradition. The claimed his 10-year-old daughter, who has special education needs, would suffer if her father had to spend time in a foreign jail. However, a judge at the Court of Appeal said the severity of the offences trumped the father-of-two's rights. Bazegurore played a central role in the international people smuggling ring that operated between Belgium, France and the UK. The gang 'exploited vulnerable people, including children' for financial gain and smuggled Albanian immigrants into the UK in the back of lorries from the continent. The National Crime Agency caught up with the gang after they intercepted one such lorry containing nine adults and two children in Milton Keynes in June 2016. In August 2016 another lorry was stopped in Belgium and was found to contain nine Albanian adults and four children. Bazegurore was convicted by a court in Ghent of facilitating the illegal immigration of people. The authorities there said Bazegurore was 'centrally involved in the unlawful people smuggling' and that it was an 'habitual, tight and well organised international smuggling ring'. Bazegurore was sentenced to five years in jail by a court in Ghent in March 2018. In September 2018 he was jailed for nine years at Aylesbury Crown Court after pleading guilty to conspiracy to facilitate illegal immigration in connection with the Milton Keynes incident. Since he was released from prison for the British offences in 2023 Bazegurore has been fighting extradition to Belgium where he is required to serve his first sentence. A district judge at Westminster Magistrates' Court agreed he should be sent to Belgium to face justice but his lawyers appealed this. They used the European Court of Human Rights Act to try and prevent the British authorities from granting extradition. His barrister Amanda Bostock said that him being extradited would interfere with his, his wife's and his children's right to a family life. It was important for the welfare of his 10 year old daughter, named only as X, to have her parents present to support her. Since he was released from prison in 2023, Bazegurore has worked at a scaffolding yard close to the family home. The court was told that he also takes the children to and from school and has become closer to them. His legal team cited an expert report conducted by Dr Sharon Pettle, a consultant clinical psychologist who said it 'will be extremely disruptive for the children if he is now extradited.' She stated his wife has been able to cope with bringing up their children but found it 'very challenging.' But a Court of Appeal judge has ruled that the people smuggling offences that are outstanding in Belgium were so serious Bazegurore should be extradited. Mr Justice Calver said: 'The difficulty with Ms Bostock's submission is the seriousness of the offence for which the Appellant is wanted by the Belgian authorities. 'The offending was organised and planned. It exploited vulnerable people, including children, for financial gain. 'The offending sought to facilitate the unlawful entry of multiple people into this jurisdiction, thereby undermining the proper operation of the immigration systems and the security of national borders in multiple jurisdictions across Europe. 'The District Judge was correct to identify that the offending for which the Appellant is wanted is one of the most serious offences on the scale of offending. I' can well see that if the offence for which the Appellant were wanted in this case was, for example, shoplifting, then in view of the Appellant's challenging family circumstances the analysis might be very different. 'But it is not: as the Ghent Court of Appeal emphasised the offence is very serious indeed. 'Added to this is the fact that X has her mother, family and friends to assist in her care, albeit I have no doubt it will be a very challenging time for them indeed without their father. ' Mr Justice Calver said the high threshold under Article 8 of the European Court of Human Rights of a 'rare' and 'exceptional' case has not been met by Bazegurore lawyers and the appeal was dismissed.

Conor McGregor showers fiancee Dee with affection on luxury yacht in desperate bid to smooth over beach snog storm
CONOR McGregor has been spotted showering his fiancee Dee Devlin with affection on a yacht just days after snogging a mystery woman on a beach. The UFC star, who turned 37 on Monday, could be seen smiling and snapping pics with Dee aboard the luxury yacht off the coast of Italy. 6 6 Conor had been seen cosying up to a mystery woman for his birthday dinner last week, just days after kissing her on a beach in Florida, despite having been engaged to Dee since 2020. Pictures from his luxury yacht trip in Italy show the MMA fighter sparring and soaking in the sun alongside Dee. In moments, Conor could also be seen gently patting his partner on the bum on the expensive boat, which was adorned with balloons in the colours of the Irish flag. Dee had shared a birthday tribute to Conor earlier this week, amidst the explosive allegations about the fighter's behaviour. Not only has the fighter come under fire for snogging the mystery brunette on a Florida beach but US rapper Azealia Banks has accused him of sending her unsolicited "d*** pics". The 212 hitmaker shared the explicit photos that allegedly show the UFC brawler on X, alongside his threat 'don't be a rat cos (sic) all rats get caught'. While Dee - who's dated Conor for 17 years - hasn't commented on Azealia's claim or the fighter's holiday snaps, she's weathered even more sensational accusations levied against him in the past. There have been alleged affairs, punch-ups outside the ring and Conor being forced to pay £206,000 in damages to a woman who accused him of 'brutally raping and battering' her. Mum-of-four Dee, 37, has stood by Conor throughout. This comes as Conor was seen at a birthday dinner with the same mystery woman he was snogging on a beach last week. Rapper posts 'Conor McGregor's NUDES' online & claims disgraced UFC star 'sexually harassed her' The pair were cosying up to celebrate the Irishman's 37th birthday in Florida just days after their coastal kiss. Conor and the mystery woman were dining at Padrino's Cuban Restaurant on July 13 - tucked up against a wall. The fighter was snapped about to have a spoonful as the mystery woman beams at something across the room. McGregor donned a turquoise top, matching shorts and a trilby while his companion sported a navy blue top and jeans. 6 6 6 They then left a few moments apart. The same day as the dinner, Dee Devlin - McGregor's fiancee - wished her partner a happy birthday. They have been engaged since 2020, and they share four children together. She shared a post from a fan account which read: "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile." Prior to his beach encounter, the MAM fighter was spotted cosying up to a mystery blonde in a nightclub birthday bash. The star was seen in a Dublin nightclub getting close to a fellow reveller. The former UFC champion was pictured smiling with his hands around a blonde woman's waist. A shocked fan snapped the pair on July 6 at Soho nightclub in the Irish capital. On top of his behaviour in Florida and Dublin, Conor has found himself in his latest spat with rapper Azealia Banks, who alleges that the fighter sent her the photos on X unprompted - despite her not following him back. The rapper claims the messages were sexual harassment, but also said that she sent the boxer nude pictures as well in a sexting-back and-forth since 2016. MCGREGOR'S LEGAL ISSUES Last year, the MMA star was found liable in a civil case that accused him of sexually assaulting a woman in a hotel room in December 2018. It was alleged that he had choked the claimant, leading to her fearing for her life. He disputes the charges, arguing that they had consensual sex. A second woman accused him of sexual assault following a June 2023 incident at an NBA Finals game in Miami. The 49-year-old victim accused an "intoxicated" of slamming her face against a bathroom stall and placing her in an armlock before raping her. The woman alleged that McGregor engaged "in unlawful sexual contact" to fulfil his "own sexual gratification" and to "degrade" her. Florida prosecutors, however, declined to pursue criminal charges for the alleged assault with the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, citing insufficient evidence in the case back in October 2023. McGregor denies any accusations of wrongdoing.
