R&B singer Ray J, who was also reportedly visiting Brown’s home, was handcuffed and had his auto seized for search by the LAPD upon their arrival at the Brown’s residence.
Brown, 27, posted three videos to his social media accounts earlier Tuesday.
Police were called to Brown’s Southern California home by a woman who claimed the R&B singer had threatened her with a gun.
The incident occurred after beauty queen Baylee Curran called the police claiming the rapper had pointed a gun at her head.
Brown’s lawyer and reps did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.
The police were called to Breezy’s home around 3 AM on Tuesday, where they stood outside for almost 10 hours until a search warrant was finally granted to enter Brown’s home.
When police arrived on the scene in San Fernando Valley they were told to get an arrest warrant.
Ramirez says nobody has been arrested and everyone has been cooperative.
After assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna in a highly publicized incident, Brown served probation from 2009 until 2015.
Brown said on Instagram he plans to stay inside the home until police obtain a warrant. ABC News Los Angeles reported that officers have been called to his house five times in the past year for various complaints. “So I don’t sleep half the damn night I just wake up to all these mother f-king helicopters, choppers is around, police out there at the gate”, he said. She said she refused and bolted out the door, then called police. The Times has since identified the woman, but The Independent has chosen not to publish her name. They also want to talk with the woman and any witnesses, he added.
