The rap mogul was declared a wanted man by police yesterday following a hit-and-run in Los Angeles in which one man died.
His lawyer James Blatt insisted he would be turning himself in, which has now happened.
The Death Row Records co-founder - who helped launch the careers of the likes of Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg - has now been arrested for murder and is being held in West Hollywood. The Los Angeles County Sheriff has confirmed this, adding that he is being held on $2million bail.
