A video went viral over the weekend of a Black man being wrongfully detained by police while minding his business at a Virginia Beach mall.

In it, a man identified by his wife as Jamar is seen being handcuffed while eating in the food court with his family at Lynnhaven mall. The officer who remains unidentified accused Jamar man of owning a stolen black truck and using stolen credit cards.

The video shows the man reasonably becoming irritated as officers escort him out while his wife shouts; “What did he do? He did nothing. We don’t have a black truck!”

The police and the wife urge the man to stay calm but he’s clearly upset because the police didn’t even bother to question him before detaining him. Ultimately Jamar was released and an officer was seen in the video apologizing.

“We got a description of someone who was using stolen credits cards. That man is a Black man with dreads and he’s wearing all black and was with a boy that was wearing read,” the officer said.

“I sincerely apologize. It was a complete misunderstanding,” the officer said. “If he was using stolen credit cards and had a stolen vehicle then I wouldn’t have talked to him. I would’ve just taken him into custody and detained him, okay?”

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO BE FIRED.

The incident has caught the attention of the likes of T.I. and racked up MILLIONS of views.

Local Virginia newspaper The Virginia Pilot says an investigation into the incident is ongoing.

“Certainly, anyone would be upset about being detained for something they didn’t do,” Police Chief Paul Neudigat said about the video. “While the video shows the officer stayed calm and respectful throughout the brief encounter, we must ensure the situation merits the response. We are gathering all the facts to evaluate the incident so we can address the concerns people have raised.”

Dallas rapper Yella Beezy is speaking out after a photo of him with one of the suspects linked to the murder of Fort Worth artist G$ Lil Ronnie and his young daughter began making the rounds online. On Wednesday, Beezy posted on Instagram to clarify that he had no idea who the person was when the photo was taken. He pointed out that taking pictures with fans and strangers is just part of his life as a musician. “Don’t associate my name with any of that nonsense,” Beezy wrote in his Instagram Story. “I take tons of pictures every day with people I don’t know; it’s part of my job. It’s ridiculous to use a photo of me in a situation like this. Don’t mess with my image, especially when it involves kids. Straight up. Rest in peace to Chuckie and his little girl.”

Beezy’s response came after some social media users suggested he might have a connection to the tragic incident where G$ Lil Ronnie and his daughter lost their lives in a shocking act of violence. Speculation grew after the photo emerged showing Beezy alongside one of the accused. However, the rapper quickly set the record straight, denying any false claims and expressing his strong stance against violence, especially towards innocent children. His fans and friends in the music industry quickly supported Beezy, acknowledging how difficult it can be for public figures to interact with fans.

In today’s social media world, where people often jump to conclusions based on limited information, Beezy’s message serves as a reminder that just because an artist appears in a photo with someone does not mean they are connected in any way. As the tragic news of G$ Lil Ronnie’s death continues to affect the Texas rap community, Yella Beezy’s words highlight an important point that being photographed with someone doesn’t imply guilt or involvement. While investigations into this heartbreaking case continue, Beezy is dedicated to protecting his reputation and ensuring his name isn’t wrongly involved in untrue rumors.

HonkMagazine

T-Pain is often considered the face of Auto-Tune, a vocal effect that became hugely popular in the 2000s. He produced some of the biggest songs of that time using this technology, but he recently clarified that he wasn’t the only one responsible for its success. In a thoughtful conversation on The Big Pod with Shaq, T-Pain explained that Snoop Dogg played a crucial role in making Auto-Tune acceptable and cool for listeners. T-Pain shared that there was a lot of resistance to Auto-Tune at first, with some people thinking of it as just a gimmick. But when Snoop Dogg started using it, everything changed. T-Pain remarked, “Snoop did it, then it was totally fine.

Everybody was like, ‘Okay, I guess we can listen to it.'” This shift in attitude allowed Auto-Tune to break into mainstream music beyond just T-Pain’s songs. Songs like Snoop’s “Sexual Eruption” showed that Auto-Tune could be a big part of many artists’ music styles, solidifying its place in both rap and pop. Interestingly, Snoop also recognized T-Pain’s influence on his own music, praising him during an episode of his show, Nappy Boy Radio. This connection between the two artists highlights how they support and inspire each other in expanding the music landscape.

Today, Auto-Tune is everywhere in music, from trap hits by Future to the catchy flows of Lil Uzi Vert. T-Pain’s effect on the music industry is clear, but his recent comments emphasize the importance of collaboration and approval in artistry. Ultimately, T-Pain acknowledges that while he revolutionized Auto-Tune, Snoop Dogg was the one who helped make it popular for everyone to enjoy. It’s heartwarming to see these music legends celebrate each other’s contributions as the industry grows and changes.
