Tekashi 6ix9ine's debut project might have just gone gold but he's unfortunately had to deal with some issues with the law. Yesterday, it was reported that the "Kooda" rapper was arrested. The initial reports claimed that he was arrested for driving without a license. He was later charged with aggravated unlicensed operation. However, a few hours later, more information surfaced and he was also charged with assaulting an officer after he allegedly grabbed a cops hand while handcuffs were being taken off. He's since been released and he's taken to Instagram to address his recent arrest.

Tekashi 6ix9ine took to Instagram to address all of the websites and blogs that have said that he was arrested for assaulting a police officer. The rapper completely denies that he ever touched the officer and claimed that he was the one that was a victim of police brutality.

"For all them stories [out there], n*ggas didn't touch the police, man. Them n*ggas is fuckin corrupt. Them n*ggas beat the shit out of me, you know what I'm sayin'?... That's just regular shit that happen in Brooklyn every single day bro. Corrupt ass cops." He said.

He continued to question the police's honesty and wondered how he was able to assault a cop while in handcuffs.

"How the fuck I squeeze your hand? How the fuck pulled your arm out your socket if I'm in handcuffs? But you know, everyone going to tell a story [for] fuckin' clickbait." he said. "TMZ, 'Tekashi assaults a cop.' No the fuck I did not."
