A Bronx-born rapper was arrested after cops found an arsenal of guns and some marijuana during a raid at his New Jersey home, prosecutors said Tuesday.
A Boogie wit da Hoodie — whose real name is Artist Dubose — was hit with weapons and marijuana possession charges, according to the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office.
Law enforcement authorities executed a search warrant at the 25-year-old artist’s home in Demarest on Monday.
Officials didn’t say what their investigation was in connection to.
The search turned up four handguns, hollow point bullets and various high-capacity magazines, as well as weed and drug paraphernalia, prosecutors said.
A personal security guard at the home, 33-year-old Quashaun Hagler, was also charged with illegal weapons possession, NorthJersey.com reported.
And A Boogie’s manager, Samblou Camara, was slapped with drug charges after cops searched his home in Bergenfield and found marijuana, prosecutors said.
The arrests came a day after a shooting broke out across the street from a Teaneck nightclub where the rapper was celebrating his 25th birthday.
However, authorities said A Boogie’s arrest was not related to the shooting, which left an 18-year-old man critically injured.
“He is not a suspect, nor did we believe him to be a suspect,” Chief Detective Robert Anzilotti said of the rapper.
