D'Angelo 'arrested for solicitation'

D'Angelo was reportedly arrested on Saturday in New York City.

According to the New York Post, the soul singer was arrested by an undercover policewoman after allegedly offering $40 (£29) for oral sex.

D'Angelo, whose real name is Michael Archer, was allegedly driving through the West Village when he spotted a woman he took to be a prostitute at around 2.30 am.

The 36-year-old was arrested and charged with solicitation after asking the woman for sex, and also had $12,000 (£8,813) hidden in his SUV.

D'Angelo's manager declined to comment on the story.
