Famous Dex has been arrested on a domestic battery charge in Las Vegas, according to official records obtained by TMZ.
The rapper was taken into custody Sunday and appeared to remain in a Las Vegas jail at the time of publication. The available information does not detail the circumstances surrounding the latest allegation.
The arrest marks another legal issue for Dex, who has faced criminal cases in the past.
In 2021, Dex was hit with 19 charges stemming from three separate incidents. Those cases included allegations involving domestic violence as well as a gun possession charge.
Two of the incidents involved allegations concerning his former girlfriends, while another arrest followed a traffic stop during which police said they found a loaded firearm in his vehicle.
Dex was ultimately sentenced to 364 days behind bars in September 2021. After his release, he entered rehab as he worked to make changes in his life.
The rapper later spoke publicly about his sobriety. In 2023, Dex said he had reached 11 months sober while also discussing plans for the next installment of his “Rich Forever” album series with Rich The Kid and Jay Critch.
His latest arrest comes more than a year after those comments and puts Dex back in the spotlight for reasons unrelated to music.
At this point, the supplied records establish the arrest and domestic battery charge, but they do not provide additional details about the alleged incident or indicate what comes next in the case.
The Pop Radar has reached out to Dex’s representatives for comment. No response had been received at the time of publication.
