Lil Pump Threatens to Sue 'Racist' Cops After Airport Arrest
Lil Pump squared off with cops in Miami just moments before they arrested him for disorderly conduct.
TMZ has obtained police body cam footage from the rapper’s December arrest, which occurred right before his flight out of Miami. Pump was removed from the flight to L.A. after he was accused of carrying drugs in a bag that smelled like weed.
During the shouting match, the 18-year-old MC can be seen telling cops that the bag is not his. “Are you on probation?” asks the officer before telling him, “This is going to violate your probation.”
Pump grows visibly frustrated while telling the cop that the bag does not belong to him before another officer gets in his face, yelling, “Calm down!” Pump’s manager also tries to convey the message, but cops were adamant the bag belonged to Pump.
“I don’t care. It’s your bag now,” responds the officer before arresting him and his manager for misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
Law enforcement sources later told TMZ that Pump was not carrying any drugs. The bag, which belonged to a member of Pump’s crew, was “mistagged.”
After the footage surfaced on Thursday, Pump has vowed to sue the police. He reposted part of the video on Instagram, writing, “DIRTY ASS 🐷SAID ‘ITS YOUR BAG NOW’ THIS RACIST SHIT NEEDA STOP LAWSUIT ON DA WAY.”
On Friday, Pump is set to release his new album Harverd Dropout featuring Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Offset, Quavo, Lil Uzi Vert, YG, and 2 Chainz.
