My friends who were in the police department were like, Have you pissed somebody off up here?
Because this is crazy that theyre doing this a year later.
But I think somebody wanted to make an example out of me, and they did.
Rucker continued, Im handling it with my lawyers.
And paying the price, and well move on with our lives.
Fifty-seven years, never seen inside of a police car or jail, and I get busted for that.
He was released without charges, but a warrant for his arrest was issued in December 2023.
Not a lot of people know a lot about me.
They know my music and what I do, but they dont know how you got there.
