The 20-year-old rapper has worked with artists like Tyga, Mustard, Nipsey Hussle, DJ Marshmello, Young Thug, Post Malone, and Future, making him a young artist to watch in the rap game.

According to TMZ, Ricch was taken into custody on Sunday morning following an altercation with his girlfriend. The publication reports that Ricch and his lady friend were engaged in an argument when he allegedly grabbed her. TMZ claims they spoke with law enforcement linked to Ricch's case who shared that the rapper "put his hands on the woman during their argument."
