In a tense and unexpected encounter, Chicago drill rappers FYB J Mane and Memo600 found themselves surrounded by police during what was supposed to be a routine interview shoot. The situation escalated quickly as officers ordered IDs, accused the group of trespassing, and searched the crew on camera—raising questions about profiling and over-policing in hip-hop spaces.
The footage captures confusion, frustration, and disbelief as the crew repeatedly insists they’re “just doing an interview,” while trying to protect minors present and avoid further confrontation. From family members stepping in to defend their sons to mentions of open cases, this raw street-level moment exposes the clash between hip-hop culture and law enforcement.
It’s more than just a video—it’s a glimpse into the reality artists face off the mic, where reputation, surveillance, and tension often follow even the most routine activities.
