Critics are accusing the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department of potential racial profiling after DaBaby, a Grammy-nominated local rapper, was cited on a misdemeanor marijuana charge Monday night.
DaBaby, whose legal name is Jonathan Kirk, told reporters that police officers had “absolutely” targeted him and “unlawfully searched” his car once he finished performing at the Bojangles’ Coliseum.
“Black Excellence right here in our own city, (and) they hate it,” DaBaby tweeted Tuesday afternoon.
Black Excellence ha ha ha LOL
