Police reportedly took Vic Mensa into custody on Thursday [August 4] for suspicion of stealing after him and his crew spent $4,000 at Barneys New York.

Taking to his Snapchat, he blasted the police for accusing him of theft. “I’m tired of dealing with these motherf*ckers man,” he said as he pointed his camera at a police officer. “Over here just giving a n*gga trouble for all types of stupid s*it. We didn’t steal shit. I go in Barneys and spend four racks and get accused of stealing.”

He claims that the police weren’t even sure what him and his crew had stolen. “That’s the craziest part about it, I went and bought some ill Saint Laurent boots, some more s*it from Barneys, and we get all pulled out the f*cking car and get accused of stealing. And on top of that, they don’t even know what they think we stole.”

He lamented the fact that Black men in American society are often viewed as criminals. “You can’t be a young Black man out here doing anything legal, positive, and you still get treated like a criminal,” he said. “We don’t have to steal s*it man, we could buy nicer s*it than you buy for your wife for her right now.”
