Busta Rhymes was arrested on a drink driving charge in the early hours whilst driving in Midtown Manhattan.
The NYPD say that they initially stopped Rhymes (real name Trevor Smith) for driving an SUV with "excessively tinted windows" but on pulling the rapper over, they noticed a "strong odor of alcohol" on his breath and ordered that he take a breath test.
TMZ reports that he was then taken into custody on a charge of driving while impaired and booked at the Midtown North Police Precinct.
The Manhattan District Attorney's office said only that Rhymes "had not been arraigned." The rapper is already awaiting trial for two assault charges from last year.
Rhymes is yet to comment on the incident.
