G-Eazy‘s arrest in Sweden was all thanks to him denying a photo with a fan, sources at Stockholm’s Solidaritet nightclub tell TMZ.
As we reported, the hip-hop artist was arrested and taken into custody on suspicion of assault and cocaine possession after he allegedly clocked a security guard at a club.

But sources are saying the No Limit rapper hit the guard by accident, and only threw a punch after a fight was sparked by an annoying AF fan. Allegedly, Eazy and his crew were minding their own business in the VIP room after his concert Wednesday night when a fan approached them and asked for pics with the performer.
After he reportedly said no, the fan persisted for a while before finally scramming — only to return and ambush the artist with photos. One member of G-Eazy’s crew apparently confronted the snap-happy dude and smashed his phone, causing the fan to flip out and shove the crew member.

This reportedly turned into a full on brawl, where Eazy allegedly punched one of the club’s hired security guards. That’s when cops were called in; they arrested G and took him off to jail.
As for the cocaine in his pocket, that was just a happy coincidence for the cops who cuffed him… or maybe they listened to his music and knew they would score a drug bust.
The 28-year-old is currently still behind bars and waiting to see a judge later Friday.
