Rapper Stunna Girl, real name Suzanne Sade Brown, was arrested in North Carolina on an outstanding failure-to-appear warrant tied to a criminal case that has remained pending since 2017, according TMZ.
The recording artist, whose legal name has not been identified in publicly available records related to the arrest, was taken into custody Thursday night by the Mooresville Police Department during a traffic stop in Mooresville, North Carolina.
Authorities said officers stopped a black-and-white Mercedes and subsequently discovered an active warrant connected to a prior criminal proceeding. Law enforcement officials have not disclosed the reason for the traffic stop.
Following her arrest, Stunna Girl was booked into the Iredell County Detention Center on the outstanding warrant. Jail records indicate she secured release several hours later after posting a $3,500 bond.

Court records show the warrant stemmed from an unresolved 2017 case in which prosecutors charged the rapper with trespassing and resisting a public officer. Records further indicate that she allegedly failed to appear in court on multiple occasions, prompting the issuance of the warrant that remained active until her recent arrest.
The matter is scheduled to return to court on July 28, when proceedings in the nearly eight-year-old case are expected to continue.
The arrest generated significant attention online after media outlets published the rapper’s booking photograph. Stunna Girl appeared to address the situation on social media shortly after her release.
“This would eat as a album cover,” she wrote on X.
The post quickly circulated across social media platforms. It drew reactions from supporters and critics alike while the underlying criminal matter remains pending.
Despite the arrest, the rapper has continued her professional commitments. Publicly available event listings indicate she remains scheduled to perform Saturday at Crybaby nightclub in Oakland, California.
Stunna Girl’s popularity has been steadily rising throughout 2026. She’s been constantly sought out by the biggest names in hip-hop streamers since her viral moment with rapper Blueface.
