Detroit rapper Baby Smoove was arrested earlier this week on a number of drug charges -- but he swiftly posted bail.

Here's the deal ... Smoove -- real name Jaelin Deanta Parker -- was pulled over in Miami late Wednesday night while driving a heavily tinted yellow Lamborghini, police say in online records. When the officer from the Miami Police Department approached the posh car, they "observed a cloud of smoke ... and a strong odor of marijuana." The officer also noted a black handgun under the driver's seat, and at that point, all occupants were asked to exit the vehicle for the officer's safety.

Police say the musician and 2 passengers were swiftly arrested because they were not legally allowed to posess any firearms, and the gun was readily available for each one to grab.

Ray J says he's boned up on RICO and even chatted with an A.I. bot … and that’s what led him to the conclusion Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner are a couple of racketeers.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Ray J doubles down on his racketeering claims against Kim and Kris ... laying out why he believes the racketeer label fits.

In the docs, filed by attorney Howard King, Ray J claims the Kardashians committed credit card fraud against his family by racking up a $850,000 bill.

He also claims Kim and Kris "defrauded" him into signing an agreement that featured a requirement barring further mention or public reference to the sex tape ... and he says they sent their lawyers to "extort" him after he answered questions about the sex tape in a June 2024 podcast.

Ray J says ... "To me, Kim and Kris have repeatedly engaged in a criminal enterprise and racketeering activity, violating RICO over and over again. I have no doubt about that."
