James Harden was stopped by Paris police on Thursday, but set free without being taken into custody.

Video surfaced on social media of the Brooklyn Nets star pleading, "I don't understand," while being frisked on a sidewalk as rapper Lil Baby was detained by police.

Lil Baby was released from custody on Friday and was fined, according to The Associated Press. He posted to Instagram on Friday morning, too, and said that he was on his way back to the United States.
