Polo G’s mom Stacia Mac Claims Racial Profiling!

The rapper’s mother and manager, Stacia Mac says a fleet of squad cars tailed the rapper and his brother (a minor who is also a rapper known as Trench Baby) following an album release party and that police “stopped them because they were driving while Black”

Mac explained that they were riding the car with security after the album release party for Polo’s latest album “Hall of Fame.”
She also went on to say that the police “made it difficult for her to check on her children.”

Mac said that her two sons were heading to the after-party when the incident occurred. My kids called me in a frenzy saying the police are behind them, 20 cars behind them.

She also added:

They refused to let me speak to my minor son, who is 16-years-old. They stopped them because they were driving while Black.

Stasia Mac also tweeted:

None of these charges would be possible if the POLICE did not make contact with my son Polo G!!! He was NOT the driver. He was a PASSENGER in a professionally licensed vehicle with security. He was moving smart and correctly. What more could he have done.
