The other day it was confirmed that a shooting took place at a party Chris Brown hosted and the incident resulted in Suge Knight getting shot multiple times, but it appears the NYPD is taking steps to make sure the same kind of scenario doesn’t happen in the Big Apple.
According to a new report, the NYPD has formed a specialist unit called the “Hip-Hop Police,” and they are specifically targeting Chris Brown, Drake and Suge Knight.
Page Six writes:
The NYPD’s “Hip-Hop Squad” has a number of rappers and stars — including Drake, Chris Brown and French Montana — on a special watch list and is stepping up surveillance on their New York parties in the wake of the Suge Knight shooting in LA, we’re told.
The shadowy specialist unit, known locally as the “Hip-Hop Police,” keeps a list of rappers and hip-hop stars whose shows and night club appearances are closely monitored. It also includes Fabolous, Wiz Khalifa, Young Jeezy, Fat Joe, Jim Jones and Lil Wayne.
A source told us: “All New York club owners are required to inform the Hip-Hop Police in advance if anyone on the watch list is coming in. They want to be there to monitor the crowd and in case any trouble starts.” The insider added, “They don’t want any situations like the Suge Knight shooting. If something does go down, they want to already be on the scene.”
This is why all these artists need to smarten up. Cops are just waiting for them to slip up.
Agreed. It would be nice if they put in the same amount of effort to find Biggie and Tupac’s killers.
Right?
I’m not surprised at all.
Nope.
I’m pretty sure they have been doing this, they just finally came up with a name for it. That’s all.
This is laughable Drake is soft as tissue paper, one snap and Chris is back in jail. I can take down Wiz skinny a-s. Wayne is a fake gangsta. French is busy being a Kardashian. This list is a joke only one who is about that life on this list is Young Jeezy calm down NYPD.
That’s what I’m saying! Wiz Khlifa is harmless! I think they are just basically targeting any popular rapper out now.
Hilarious!!! But you’re right.
Typical. Smh.
I’m laughing at French Montana and Wiz Khalifa being on the list.
If the rappers aren’t smart enough to get it, the cops will remind them. At the end of the day, they’ve been too many shootings at these parties, concerts, etc., and the hip hop community needs to handle their business. Don’t let the NYPD handle it for you cuz they will hook everybody and their mother up.
“Hip Hop Police” I can’t take this seriously. Lmfao
Sad.
All of these rappers are dumb if they are hanging around street dudes. If you’re getting money don’t be stupid and risk that for some street dudes.
Suge Knight killed 2PAC and Biggie
truth
I’d be wrong for saying that this is racist… but… it’s racist.
These cops are a mess. And I’ll leave it at that.
They forgot Fifty and Mayweather
I think they left 50 out cuz he is in the same category as P. Diddy, Jay-Z and Dr Dre…..they are not tryna to have that type of drama around them….they have too much money now to get caught up. 50 can get people beat up like he did wit (Slow Bucks) but he ain’t risking shooting on tryna get no1 shot neither is Mayweather…shyt Mayweather can’t even pinch no1 cuz his hands r registered weapons and if he touch some1 that is not in the ring wit him his career is ova
Of course they did.
