News of entrepreneur and Pretty Ricky group member Spectacular Smith's arrest made the news on Tuesday (December 1), and he spoke out on Instagram about the one-sided reports over the incident.
It was reported that Smith was arrested for hitting a Disney World employee on Sunday (November 29) over an altercation that stemmed from Smith jokingly shouting "coronavirus" after pretending to sneeze. After being asked to leave several times and being blocked from entering a ride, Smith allegedly hit the employee.
He responded to the claims on his Instagram stories, writing, "The more success you have as a black man, the bigger target you are. The media will put out a one-sided story even without facts, because they enjoy demonizing our culture and bringing us down. It’s sad."
Smith added, "However, when you know your rights, you know that you have the right to remain silent and right to have a lawyer present before giving a statement. With that said, there’s 2 sides to every story and since this story is bigger than me and the color of my skin, I’ll wait till my attorney gives the green light. Thanks for your support. Love. Ps: Y’all know my character."
