Kid Cudi And Entourage Pulled Over At Gunpoint, Handcuffed In A Case Of Mistaken Identity.

Kid Cudi must feel like the world is against right about now. After just recently being kicked off of Lady Gaga's 'Monster Ball Tour'. The "Day N Night" rapper was pulled over at gunpoint by the Los Angeles Police Department Monday (December 21). In an apparent case of mistaken identity. Cudi had just wrapped up a photo shoot for NME outside a Joyrich store on Melrose Avenue. As he and his crew left the store in two SUV's and a Jeep the LAPD swarmed in like they were about to take down a Mafia boss. After being pulled over, a total of five police cars blocked the path of the rap star and his entourage. Then made them get out of their vehicles onto their hands and knees where they were handcuffed. The police soon realized their mistake and released them with the explanation that someone had identified them as being involved in a robbery. Kid Cudi seemed to take it all in stride and released a statement via NME : "Who knows, really, the story changed a bunch," he said. "I'm just happy to be back. I'm a free man! For that moment I was not free. I was in handcuffs. It did not feel very comfortable. We're in LA, it's a rowdy place in the United States, you know? And a lot of shit goes down. And these cops have to use force. So it's, like, I understand that they were doing their job. I just wish we weren't in that place at that time." I think Cudi must have been in shock and just relieved he didn't get shot because what happened would have outraged most people. The LAPD doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to dealing with people of color. Here's hoping Kid Cudi has a much better 2010 with much success. Follow Me @Twitter.com/ChasinMoPaper
