Just because you're in the public eye, and people know who you are (or used to, anyway) does not mean you safe from the boys in blue. R. Prophet of Nappy Roots found this out the hard way. Hip Hop Wired reports:
Prophet was arrested Saturday for disorderly conduct
and other stuff, and in the middle of the bust he screamed, "I'm R.
Prophet!!!" But cops thought he was proclaiming, "I'm a prophet" ...
which made him look like a nutcase, and things went downhill quickly.
Kentucky State Police say they had to tase the ex-Nappy Roots
rapper multiple times for resisting arrest ... and again for kicking out
the back window of a police cruiser. The photos tell the story of the
struggle.
But Prophet tells TMZ, it's all BS ... he was fully cooperative
and cops repeatedly tased him for no reason as he laid helpless on the
ground and handcuffed, adding, "I felt they were doing me like a slave. I thought I was dead." He also says when he was thrown in the back of the cruiser he was pepper sprayed and tased again.
Prophet says it got so bad in the car he thought they were going
to drive him somewhere and kill him. In a panic, he says he gashed his
head on the window.
The trooper who arrested Prophet tells TMZ, the rapper was highly
intoxicated, walked directly into traffic and was a danger to himself
and others.
