D'Angelo was arrested Sunday morning for soliciting oral sex from an undercover police officer. He was reportedly driving with $12,000 cash. D'Angelo, 36, whose real name is Michael Archer, was in his Range Rover at Greenwich and Horatio streets at about 2:30 a.m.
The arrest caps a tumultuous, disappointing, generally weird decade of writer's block and mental health problems for the brilliant r&b star.
UPDATE: D'Angelo's handlers release statement.
"We know there is a lot of speculation in regard to the arrest of D'Angelo in New York City this past weekend. We would like his fans and the public at large to know that D'Angelo has plead not guilty -- and is contesting the allegations made against him. Also know that he is in good health and extremely excited about his forthcoming new album. D'Angelo would like to personally thank all of his fans for the outpouring of concern, and appreciates if all would allow the American justice system to resolve the matter before jumping to any conclusions."
