Keeping track of new music, media and industry news.

Tough times for the parachute-panted one, as MC Hammer was arrested in California last week for refusing to co-operate with the police. Unsurprisingly, his version of events, relayed through Twitter, is much more entertaining than the one given by the law…

“chubby elvis looking dude was tapping on my car window, I rolled down the window and he said “Are you on parole or probation?” While I was handing him my ID he reached in my car and tried to pull me out the car but forgot he was on a steady donut diet. ..It was comical to me until he pulled out his guns, blew his whistle and yelled for help (MallCop) !!! But make no mistake he’s dangerous only thing more dangerous than a scared man with a gun, is a scared man with an agenda, a gun and a badge. I was citied for obstruction smh You have to know me to understand I was laughing when he was grunting and pulling on me .. I had just left the weight room ..I will now answer his question, contrary to his personal beliefs, all people of color are not on parole or probation fat boy !!!”
