If there's one thing that rappers don't like, it's the police.
Instead of dealing with them like normal people,
most just choose to run. Here's a look at a few Rappers who ran from cops
Pop Smoke
Pop Smoke was a rising star in the Brooklyn Drill scene
who was tragically killed in February 2020
Pop blew up back in 2019 with hits like Welcome to the Party and Dior.
He was seen by many to be leading the Brooklyn Drill movement
and was on his way to being one of the biggest Rappers in the world.
Unfortunately, he was killed in a robbery gone wrong
before fans got to see him reach his full potential,
but Pop will always be remembered as an influential artist
who brought lots of attention to the Brooklyn drill scene
and other artists inspired by him, will carry on his legacy.
But before Pop was an international superstar,
he was a regular hustler from Brooklyn,
who was well known in the streets. Pop was a member of the Woo,
an umbrella gang that contains different Blood and Crip sets.
Pop repped 823 or Eight Deuce Trey Crips and was also closely
allied with GS9 and the G Stone Cribs. Just before the Rappers died,
Police pressured him to flip on the gang and
give information on both sets, which he refused to do.
But that was far from the first time Pop had run ins with the police
A video surfaced back in 2019 of the Rappers getting into it
with the cops in the streets of Brooklyn Pop is from a
neighborhood in East Brooklyn called Canarsie, which is where
the video takes place. When the clip begins. He's already in
mid argument and things look tense.
Why you brining out handcuffs?
Quit breaking the law
You can immediately identify the Rappers by his Off-White jacket
and black durag about four cops are surrounding him
and one of his friends is standing across the street,
filming the whole thing Pop is in the middle of a shouting match
with the police and his friend could be heard yelling.
Why are you bringing out handcuffs? Although you can't see
it because there's a car in the way the cops must have been
getting ready to slap the cuffs on the rapper and take him to jail
He starts resisting arrest, even though he's
outnumbered four to one. somehow he manages to throw him
off and takes off running down the sidewalk. One of the cops
even falls flat on his face. Trying to catch up to him,
but it's not clear whether they call for backup or managed to
catch up because the video ends there. If Pop hadn't become a rapper,
he may have had a promising career as a wide receiver
or running back in the NFL because he managed to shake off
three or four cops and get away leaving one flat on his ***
He did earn a scholarship to a competitive prep school in
Philadelphia to play basketball and only quit because it was
discovered he had a heart murmur. So, it's good to see
that his athletic talents are being used even after he became a rapper
It's not clear from the clip what they were arguing
about and why they were. Trying to arrest him/ The NYPD is well known
for being strict and Pop Smoke was well known in New York.
It may have been that the cops questioned him about
something minor and when they pressed him, he got angry.
That wasn't the only time Pop was confronted by police on camera.
In another interview with MellzTV the Rappers was being interviewed
outside a grocery store in Brooklyn and the cops show up
just to tell him to clear the sidewalk. One of the in Pop's crew
asked the cop If he's new and when the other rolls up,
they start bugging out.
You new? What? You new? Am I new? Yeah. What do you mean I'm new?
The mans is on the corner they had two, theres two cops on the corner
Yeah, I know, I saw em, but I got y'alls going, that's all.
You can tell they're familiar with the police
in the neighborhood and being harassed for minor offenses
like blocking the sidewalk is normal.
The interview ends without anyone getting arrested, but it shows
how quick the NYPD is to respond to some minor ****
like hanging outside the corner store filming an interview.
But Pop Smoke isn't the only rapper to book it from the police.
This next rapper and his brother were arrested after
getting into a crazy fast and furious style chase and shoot out
with the cops then hit with almost 100 different charges.
Here's the wild story.
K Money
K Money is an up-and-coming rapper
from Toronto Canada. He started gaining attention in 2017
after a song Come Outside records up over 2 million views
within 3 months of being released, the track currently
sits at just under 14 million plays since then K Money has
been building a career for himself along with his brother Casper,
who's also a rapper. The two brothers grew up in the
Alexanda Park area of Toronto and were known to beef with
another neighborhood called Regent Park. The war between
Regent Park and Alexanda Park has been raging since the 90s
well before K Money and Casper hit the scene and
has been responsible for a wave of violence in Toronto.
They're some of the most well known rappers coming out of their neighborhood
so they were holding it down for Alexanda Park in the music scene.
When another rapper from Regent Park started to blow up,
the beef between the two crews exploded.
Smoke Dawg was a rapper from Regent Park associated with the
hip-hop collective called Halal Gang. His song still gained 1 million
views within a month of being released and in 2015,
his track Trap House went viral for starting a popular dance move
called Flipping. The dance was spread even further by major
artists like French Montana and Drake, who brought the rapper
on a world tour after the track blew up a Regent Park artist
getting a cosign from not only the most famous artists from the city,
but one of the most popular artists of all time
was bad news for the boys in Alexanda Park and after Smoke Dawg
blew up the war between the two neighborhoods began to get crazy
In April 2017, Casper dropped a diss track called All Your Friends Are Dead
aimed at Smoke Dawg not long after Smoke Dawg
was jumped and had his chain Snatched Casper dropped
another diss track a few weeks later called Burberry Closet,
wearing Smoke Dawg's chain in the video. After that, Casper and K Money's
crib was shot up multiple times and it was an all out war.
Smoke Dawg recorded his own diss track called
Fountain Freestyle and shot the video in Alexander Park.
The housing complex that K Money and Casper were from.
This was the ultimate sign of disrespect and after that the Alexander Park
boys were done with music and took the beef to the streets
On the night of their arrest, Casper and K Money decided to
pop some Xanax and shoot up Regent Park in broad daylight.
They put on some ski mask and hopped in a black rental van armed and
ready for action. They let off some shots into a crowd of people,
which triggered a response from the police.
For some reason. The cops already had a team of undercover policeman
not far from the scene who came to investigate right away.
It didn't take long to figure out who did it,
once they came across a black SUV with a group of xanned rappers inside
wearing a ski mask in the middle of the afternoon,
the police cut them off trying to drive away from a parking spot,
but the drug must have given them superpowers because rather
than obeying the cops they hit the gas station swerved around
them in the oncoming traffic. This is where they went full
grand theft auto and managed to avoid the cops while serving
in and out of traffic. They slammed into to a couple taxis
as well as a police car, but still managed to continue to chase.
At one point they were blocked in and traffic coming from the
other direction was too tight for them to get around
but rather than surrender, they drove into the sidewalk and
continue to chase with pedestrians everywhere.
They ended up crashing the vehicle down the block and got out on foot.
They booked it through a parking garage and hop the
fence on the other side. The two brothers ended up in a
working construction site and continues to run from the
police while dodging cranes and forklifts. Eventually they ran
as far as they could and were tackled by police
Allegedly after he was arrested, K Money told the cops to tell the media
that the infamous Casper and K Money have been caught and that
they did it all for the clout. The wild chase definitely did
help bring attention to the rapper, but not for the reason
they probably hoped. Just a week after the chase Smoke Dawg was
shot and killed in broad daylight by another rappers in
an unrelated beef, so they did all that to try to scare their
opp only for him to be murdered by a different crew.
But it all goes to show you how wild the streets of Toronto can get
Casper and K Money had a hard time beating the case because
the entire thing was captured on security cameras in the neighborhood,
as well as police dash cam footage. The two brothers,
along with other associates, were hit with 97 charges
and estimated that the case cost 1 million dollars worth of damage.
They plead guilty to the charges
and apologized to the court admitting that they were high
and not thinking straight. K Money was sentenced to 7 years
and Casper received 18 months. Although the chase was
pretty crazy and definitely brought more attention to the rappers
it didn't seem to help their music career and now they
won't even be able to enjoy it. Casper may still have a chance
to revive his career after being released, but it seems
like K Money might be done for good. Surprisingly, Casper and
K Money aren't the only rappers to get into a crazy chase with police.
This next Rappers. Was arrested and assaulted by a cop
after getting pulled over for reckless driving and attempting
to flee the scene. The scene. Here's what happened.
Lil Baby
Lil Baby is one of the hottest rappers coming out of Atlanta
with songs like Drip Too Hard and Yes, Indeed doing crazy
numbers online. Baby started blowing up back in 2017 and was
quickly accepted by the industry, having grown up
around other big artists like Gunna and Young Thug.
Plus his association with Legends in the Atlanta rap scene like Gucci
and P from quality control records definitely helped him
in the industry. Lil baby has gone on to drop major
chart-topping projects and cement himself as one of the
leading voices in the new wave of trap rappers, but being a
famous rapper doesn't save you from police harassment and in
February 2019, Lil Baby got into a chase after a cop claims
he was driving recklessly. Lil Baby was driving down the
highway in Atlanta in an Orange Corvette and caught the
attention of a Georgia State Patrol officer who was stopped
at a red light. The officer claims that he saw Baby change
lanes without signaling, then increase in speed, and pass
vehicles in a reckless manner. After Baby passed the officer
he turned on his lights and try to get him to pull over.
The cop claims that at that point, rather than pulling to the side
of the road, Baby began to accelerate and weave in and out of traffic
Once the trooper caught up to him, the rapper tried to accelerate
and change lanes, but was stuck.
when the cop got out of his car and told him to get out of the
Corvette after that Lil Baby surrendered and got out on the ground.
A fan caught the arrest on camera and drives by as the
rapper is laid out on the road restrained while the cop is
hovering over him with his foot on his leg. Lil Baby was
brought to the Atlanta City Detention Center, but was
released later that day he was charged with failure to use a turn signal,
reckless driving, and evading the police.
Given the amount of money and industry connections that
Lil Baby has he likely got hit with a little more than a
fine or a slap on the wrist, the way that the cop had him
restrained in the video, you would think that he had a strap
on him or at least some weed in the car, but the only thing he
was guilty of was reckless driving. Whether the cop was
really concerned about the safety of the public or he just
spotted a famous rapper and thought he might be able to
catch him on some **** It's hard to tell Baby posted a
video to Instagram not long after where his face looks
pretty swollen from being held on the ground, he even goes
into freestyle and references the arrest rapping "First show
I rocked him next show I'm on the way, police got my face swole
I don't give a **** tho" First show I rocked him
next show I'm on the way Police got my face swole
I don't give a **** tho. So Baby is clearly pissed about the arrest,
but isn't letting it stop his grind. He also shared some
footage of the sold-out show he was performing
at just after spitting the freestyle, so the arrest didn't
seem to phase him too much. He was lucky to not have anything
incriminating on him at the time of the arrest or could
have been much worse. He probably just saw the red and
blue lights and his old instincts told him to flee.
Hopefully Lil Baby can learn to go a little slower next time
he takes his Corvette out for a spin, so he doesn't attract any
unwanted attention or hire a driver so he doesn't feel
tempted to get any more crazy chases. If you like this video,
