Did John legend get arrested recently? If so why?

No. However, back in 2014, John Legend was often targeted by Canadian immigration officials who mistook him for a criminal with the same name.

The singer faced trouble when he went through security checks at airports in Canada because he shares his real name, John Stephens, with another man who has a criminal record.

A prison-reform advocate himself, Legend previously launched campaign to end mass incarceration considered the approval of Proposition 47 in California an early victory as it calls for treating shoplifting, forgery, fraud, petty theft and possession of small amounts of drugs as misdemeanors instead of felonies.
