Those hoping to see rapper Roddy Ricch perform at New York’s Governors Ball music festival on Saturday were met with disappointment rather than a mosh pit. The New York Daily News reports that police say the musician, whose legal name is Rodrick Moore, was arrested for gun possession a few hours before his set. Police said they found a loaded firearm, about nine rounds of ammo, and a large capacity magazine when they stopped a car carrying Moore and two other men on Saturday evening. Moore has been charged with four counts, including criminal possession of a weapon, according to police. He is still in custody and awaiting arraignment.
Unfortunately Roddy Ricch is no longer performing today.
