Details on what led up to the rapper’s arrest have not been released.
This is not the first time Green, 27, was arrested in Atlanta this year.
In May, Channel 2 Action News reported that Green turned himself in on more than a dozen charges after shots were fired at his home in April.

Milton police say they were called to Green’s home for a domestic dispute that stemmed from a previous burglary that had never been reported. The incident ultimately led to gunfire.
Attorneys Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg, who represented Green in that case, shared a statement with Channel 2 Action News calling Green’s charges “incomprehensible.”
Court records show that some of those charges were not presented to a grand jury.
Green first rose to prominence after releasing his song “Heart on Ice” on TikTok, which quickly rose on Billboard’s Hot 100.
Most recently, Green released “Sinners,” which was the lead single on the soundtrack for the 2025 film of the same name starring Michael B. Jordan.
