Yung Miami took to Twitter to share that these stores "follow us around" and "think you doing fraud."

As we inch closer to the music industry's Blackout Tuesday (June 2), more artists are coming forward about the ongoing protests and riots in America. Many in the industry—including Sony, Shady Records, Columbia, Interscope, Def Jam, and Warner Music Group—will stop all business on Tuesday in an act of protest, and while this is a peaceful, yet disruptive, act, others have stormed the streets to pillage and plunder. We've watched some celebrities lament over the damage done to businesses, but Yung Miami isn't fretting over major corporations who find themselves victims of looters.
