Previously, Yung Bleu called out an incident where he says he was racially profiled after a Trailer store owner called the police on the artist, saying they “suspected fraud” based on an incident they had with an unrelated customer the week before. Now it has been revealed that Bleu was arrested following the viral video. Bleu was cited for a suspended license, according to reports. In the video, the officer can be heard claiming the artist’s license plate was obstructed, and she couldn’t tell what state he was from based on that.
Since the incident, Bleu posted bond and gave an update via Twitter, saying “I’m iight, back free! F**k em! Thank y’all.”
