Flavor Flav evidently wasn't making beautiful music this morning.

The rapper was arrested at about 3:30 a.m. in Las Vegas on Wednesday for alleged assault with a deadly weapon, E! News has confirmed.

According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, who responded to a 911 call from Flav's house, the artist allegedly got into a domestic dispute with his fiancée and her teenager and supposedly threatened one of them with a knife and physically attacked the other.
