Further details about the circumstances surrounding the accusations against him were not immediately released.
Black previously had a three-year federal prison sentence for falsifying documents used to buy weapons at a Miami gun store commuted by President Donald Trump on his last day in office. He had served about half his sentence.
In April 2021, Black was sentenced to probation for assaulting a teenage girl in a South Carolina hotel room.
He was originally charged with rape, but accepted a deal and pleaded guilty to first-degree assault at the Florence County courthouse.
Black has sold over 30 million singles since 2014, and has had several multiplatinum and platinum-certified singles, including “Zeze,” “No Flockin’” and “Roll in Peace.”
