It’s 2016 and the phrase can’t we all just get along still applies. Earlier today, CMG rap artist Blac Youngsta was harassed for no reason due to a large withdraw that raised a few eyebrows of Well Fargo workers here in Atlanta.
According to 11Alive News,
A rapper said that police stopped him outside of an Atlanta bank after he withdrew hundreds of thousands of dollars on Friday.
Sam Benson, who goes by the name “Blac Youngsta,” said it all began when he stopped by a Wells Fargo bank on Peachtree Rd. NE.
Benson said he withdrew $200,000 in cash from his account. He said when he came out of the bank, a police officer pointed at him.
“They come bum rushing me at the car, put me on the ground, putting guns to my head, so I’m like ‘What I’d do,’” Benson said. “A lady was like I’m not supposed to have…$200,000 on me. I’m like, ‘I’m a millionaire. How can I not have $200,000 on me?’” (RAW VIDEO: Watch the interview)
Pictures posted on his Facebook page appears to show several police with Benson on the ground with his arms handcuffed behind his back (the cuffs are not closed in the photo).
Benson said police told them that someone had written a bogus check previously.
“They thought I did it too, but I’m legit,” Benson said. “They confused me with whoever they were looking for.”
Benson said police apologized. He said police initially took $100,000 of his cash, but later said that he had gotten that money back.
The rapper said he had withdrawn the cash to buy a vehicle. Initially, Benson said he was in the market for a Maybach, but after the incident at the bank, he said he was thinking about a Ferrari.
“I’m feeling fast,” Benson said.
Thankfully Blac Youngsta was smart knowing he was legit and he didn’t overreact and despite being harassed he wasn’t physically harmed. Stay tuned to HHS1987 for all your news and upcoming new music from Blac Youngsta.
