As a result, Roddy and two others were promptly arrested, and the Governor’s Ball officials announced that his set was canceled.
Roddy is now charged with 4 counts of criminal possession of a weapon, possession of a large capacity ammo feeding device, and unlawful possession of that device. As of this morning, Roddy is still in police custody, awaiting arraignment.
This is just the latest cancellation that the Governor’s Ball Festival had to deal with this year. It was previously reported that Migos had to cancel their headlining set earlier this week. Lil Wayne was set to replace them, but he, too, canceled at the last minute because of flight issues. A$AP Ferg ultimately replaced him.
As for Roddy, this is a developing story, so we’ll keep you posted.
