The 23-year-old Los Angeles rapper, whose real name is Rodrick Moore, was supposed to take the stage at 7 p.m., and police say he was arrested at 6:30 p.m. in a vehicle at Flushing Meadows Corona Park near Citi Field where the festival is held.

Officers found a gun underneath a seat, according to officials.

The festival announced he wouldn’t be performing at 7:11 p.m. on Twitter.

Police also arrested two other men, 57-year-old Carlos Collins of New Jersey and 46-year-old Michael Figueroa of Brooklyn, alongside Moore.
