YG’s Stopped By Police For Windows ‘Being Too Dark’
YG was stopped by police be- cause his car windows were too dark.
YG was reportedly pulled over on last Wednesday night (August 9) in Burbank, Cali- fornia. The cops allegedly stopped the 27-year-old Compton rapper because the tint on his Mercedes-Maybach appeared too dark. Once po- lice made contact with YG, of- ficers asked for his driver’s license and registration, but he reportedly said, “No.”
As the tension began to es- calate, he refused to get out of the car and told the cops he didn’t trust them.
Several police cars rushed to the scene for backup, but YG eventually exited the vehi- cle. He was not carrying any identification and apparently attempted to use his fame as a “get out of jail free card.” For- tunately for him, he wasn’t ar- rested and only cited for no ID, tinted windows and no license plates.

Things are getting serious for R. Kelly after news broke that he’s allegedly housing a sex cult of women at his homes in Atlanta and Chicago.
The Chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commission- ers, John Eaves, requested authorities to open a criminal investigation of the singer, after new evidence has sur- faced that “severely raised the level of concern.” In a state- ment released Friday, Eaves said, “A detailed local investi- gation by the John Creek Po- lice Department has provided
key information that we be- lieve is enough evidence that gives the Fulton County Dis- trict Attorney’s Office all it needs to advance a criminal in- vestigation of the well-known allegations.”
The Fulton Country Dis- trict Attorney, however said there is not a criminal investi- gation into R. Kelly “at this time.”
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners sent a letter to Live Nation asking the company to cancel Kelly’s August 25 concert.
