Police kept Wyclef in handcuffs for six minutes early Tuesday morning.

Wyclef Jean was pulled over by handcuffed by LAPD Tuesday morning after police officers mistook him for an armed robbery suspect.

According to TMZ, police pulled over Wyclef because his car "matched the description" of a vehicle used in a recent armed robbery. Wyclef shared video footage of the incident, accompanied by a furious explanation of what transpired:

"I was asked by the police to Put my hands up. Then I was told do not move. I was instantly hand cuffed before being asked to identify myself and before being told why. In the process I said my name and told them they have wrong person. They proceeded to ignore me and I was treated like a criminal. I am sure no father wants his sons or daughters to see him in Handcuffs especially if he is innocent. As some one who has law enforcers in my family, I was appalled by the bahavior of the LAPD."
