Authorities report that D’Angelo was arrested for offering to pay $40 for sex with an undercover cop posing as a prostitute.
The 36-year-old R&B singer was arrested early Saturday while cruising in his Range Rover on Greenwich and Horatio Streets. D’Angelo, whose real name is Michael Archer, also had $12,000 dollars in cash when he was busted.
The Grammy Award winner pleaded not guilty and plans to fight the charge.
In a statement, the D’Angelo says he hopes the public will “allow the American justice system to resolve the matter before jumping to any conclusions.”
