The hip-hop star had shared a Snapchat video of him posing with wads of money before cops arrested him on suspicion of possession of criminal property.
A 26-year old man was also arrested on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon, theft and making threats to kill.
In the Snapchat video, Fredo said: “I can’t afford to bump into no hating police on the high road today, you know.
“You know what, I ain’t breaking no laws. Let me just strap 50 in.”

Fredo – whose real name is Marvin Bailey - shot to fame last year with single Funky Friday, which went straight to number one.
The London-born rapper’s mixtape Tables Turn was a top-10 hit in the album charts.
His debut studio album, Third Avenue, refers to the street he grew up on in Queens Park, West London.
In an interview with the Financial Times this year, he revealed he was “stabbed four times on one occasion”.
