“Will Lil Baby be charged as an adult?”: NBA fans react to James Harden and Atlanta-based rapper getting apprehended by Paris Police for nearly an ounce of weed in his possession

James Harden and Lil Baby had caused quite a stir with the paparazzi after appearing together at the Paris Fashion Week yesterday.

This news follows their excursion to one of the biggest fashion destinations on the planet. Harden and Baby were stopped and frisked by Parisian police officials in the afternoon hours today. It transpired that Baby was carrying over 20g of weed, which is banned in France.

Consequentially, the Atlanta-based hit rapper was taken into custody by police authorities. Harden, meanwhile, was found to have no weed in his own possession, so he was let go by the police department. It didn’t take long for major networks to pick up this piece of news.
