During the traffic stop, multiple weapons were found in the 29-year-old rapper’s vehicle, whose real name is Markies Deandre Conway, police said.

Conway was arrested on a charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon, police said.

He was taken to Dallas County jail without incident, police said. According to jail records, Conway also had holds for two other traffic violations: vehicle entering the highway from a private road or driveway and ran stop signs and yield signs.
