COMPTON, Calif. (AP) — The son of the late rapper Eazy-E was arrested for investigation of possessing a concealed weapon, authorities said Sunday.
Eric Wright Jr. — who goes by the name Lil' Eazy-E in his own recently launched hip-hop career — is the firstborn son of Eazy-E, a founding member of the pioneering gangster rap group N.W.A. who died of AIDS in 1995.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies pulled over Wright, 22, for a traffic violation near Compton on Saturday night, Lt. Michael Alerich said.
"Mr. Wright was in possession of a firearm and he was arrested," Alerich said. "Two other guys in the car were also arrested, one for possession of a firearm and the other for a probation violation."
Earlier this year, Wright released his first album, Prince of Compton.
