Rapper Lil Scrappy was injured and arrested Friday night (July 18) in DeKalb County, Georgia.

According to local news channel WSBTV2, the incident took place at around 7 p.m. in an apartment complex in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

Reports said that the 24-year-old rapper (real name: Darryl Richardson) had received a call from his sister who said she had gotten into an argument with her boyfriend.

This is when authorities said Scrappy went to his sister's apartment, and became involved in an altercation with his sister's boyfriend, and ended up getting stabbed.

He's ok though. Scrappy was listed in stable condition Saturday.

That's not all the bad news for Scrappy though. He was also arrested, as mentioned earlier. When police arrived on the scene, they took the rapper into custody and charged him with felony possession of marijuana, felony possession of a firearm/knife, battery and obstruction of officers.

As of Saturday afternoon (July 19), Scrappy remained in jail. Although a bail amount of $1,500 was issued for the misdemeanor battery and obstruction charges, an amount was not determined for the felony drug and gun charges.

Update: Scrappy has been released on $1,500 bond.
