News broke on Thursday (May 3) morning that G-Eazy was arrested after he punched a security guard at a nightclub in Sweden. The rapper was also caught with cocaine in his possession.

TMZ was the first to break the story. According to the outlet, G-Eazy was partying at the club with girlfriend Halsey and friend Sean Kingston. However, a fight soon broke out that ended the fun abruptly. Now, more details about what led to the altercation is surfacing. 

A new report by TMZ claims the fight started after an overzealous fan repeatedly kept asking G-Eazy for a photo. When the rapper said no, the fan dismissed G-Eazy's words and began taking pics anyway. That's when the artist's crew took the fan's phone and smashed it. Angered by that move, the fan pushed someone in G-Eazy's crew and that's when the fight broke out.

"During the brawl, G-Eazy allegedly punched one of the club's hired muscle, and that was enough for cops to swoop in, cuff G-Eazy and haul him off to jail," the news site states. "G-Eazy famously talks about his heavy cocaine use, so cops probably knew when they checked his pockets they would score some of the white stuff. So he was arrested for that, too."
