A few days ago a video of Lil Pump and Smokepurpp getting handcuffed by police on a Los Angeles street hit the web.

Not long after it did, most of the YouTube videos of the incident were taken down by Pump's label Warners.

This suggested it may have been part of a video shoot, rather than an actual police encounter. Although the tape does look fairly authentic.

Pump tweeted about the video this morning and made a pretty improbable claim on what was going on.

The cop pulled me over & I️ told him “bitch it’s Lil Pump” & he let me go
