The 33-year-old,
whose real name is Rakim Mayers, faces two counts of assault with a
semiautomatic firearm, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office said.
Mayers is
alleged to have pointed the gun at a one-time friend during an argument in
November.
In a later
confrontation between the two, he is said to have drawn the weapon and fired it
twice, leaving the former friend with what police described as “a minor
injury”.
Mayers has been
ordered to appear in a
Los Angeles court on Wednesday.
The “Praise the
Lord (Da Shine)” artist was arrested over the incident at Los Angeles
International Airport in April when he arrived on a private plane from
Barbados.
US media outlets
reported that he had been on the island with his then-pregnant girlfriend
Rihanna.
The
entertainment and fashion mogul behind the hits “Diamonds” and “Umbrella” gave
birth to a boy on May 13 in Los Angeles.
In an interview
with GQ magazine published in May 2021, Mayers called Rihanna the “love of my
life” and “the One.”
New York-born
Mayers was previously arrested in Stockholm in 2019 over a street brawl.
He was held in
Swedish custody for a more than a month, in an incident which drew global attention,
and was handed a suspended sentence.
