Rapper Polo G’s mother and manager, Stacia Mac, claimed that her son was racially profiled and unlawfully arrested after allegedly attacking a Miami police officer on Saturday morning.

The 22-year-old rapper was taken into custody in the early hours of the weekend after he and his entourage left an album release party and subsequently got into a confrontation with a cop after their vehicle was stopped.

The rapper’s manager alleged that her son’s vehicle was stopped en route to an afterparty for ‘driving while Black’ and that, when she asked the police about the reason for the stop, they threatened to arrest her as well.

Mac described the police’s response to the incident as a ‘waste of taxpayers’ money’ and that her children were racially profiled simply for being ‘Black and successful.’

The social media personality encouraged her followers to call the city’s cops and demand that Polo G and his brother be immediately released before noting that the experience was a ‘mother’s nightmare realized.’

She concluded by calling the officers who were involved in the incident ‘racist’ and described their response as ‘excessive.’
