ATLANTA — Atlanta rapper Sean Paul Joseph, also known as Sean P of the group YoungBloodZ, was arrested by Atlanta police on disorderly conduct charges. He was also facing simple battery but those charges were later dropped.
The rapper appeared in court Tuesday, according to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office. His bond was set at $1,500.
The arrest stems from an incident at Tongue and Groove Monday night in the 500 block of Main Street in northwest Atlanta.
The rapper hosted a release party there for his new mix tape.
Sean P, a Decatur native, has been featured on several chart topping songs, including Cherish’s “Do It to It,” Lil Jon’s “Snap Yo Fingers,” and Sammie’s “You Should Be My Girl.”


Beyonce Knowles’ mom — the original costume designer for Destiny’s Child — has filed for divorce from her husband Mathew Knowles.
Tina Knowles filed divorce papers in Harris County, Texas last month, in an attempt to end their 29-year marriage.

Mathew has been Beyonce’s manager for years, so there could be a ton of cash up for grabs in the split.
The couple has two children together — Beyonce and Solange..
