In one of our biggest stories to date, Real World Police has exclusively acquired footage from the December 2018 arrest of music sensation Lil’ Pump and his manager Dooney Battle. Over the coming days we will be sharing it with you, taking you on a journey into the inner circle of a contemporary music and pop culture icon.
On December 13, 2018 certified-triple-platinum rapper Lil’ Pump was arrested at Miami International Airport after a baggage handler reported the presence of a bag that “reeked of weed.” Examination of that bag revealed that it was tagged with Pump’s given name: Gazzy Garcia. Pump and his entourage were deplaned and ultimately were denied boarding as an epic shouting match ensued between Pump & Co. and responding officers from Miami-Dade Police Department.
Complicating the situation was the fact that the bag actually wasn’t Garcia’s, and all – well, at least most – of his frustrated protestations were eventually revealed to have been truthful. But they had crossed the line, said the cops, between ‘trying to resolve an annoying situation’ and disorderly conduct.
At least, that’s what the cops told him. You see,. Real World Police has not only obtained body camera footage from this incident, but we have obtained that footage without a single redaction. Which means that not only will you be provided with an inside look into the arrest, but also with an unprecedented window into the thoughts and decision-making process of responding officers and their supervisors. Never before has footage like this been made available.
Media reports at the time of Pump’s arrest indicated that the rapper had been arrested on a disorderly conduct charge, but neither the media nor the general public knows the full extent of what happened that afternoon at Miami International Airport.
Come along, because we are about to change that.
Note: This incident took place at Miami International Airport. Redactions have been made in order to avoid revealing operational and security procedures, access codes, and the like. Similarly, the personal information of Lil’ Pump and his traveling companions has been redacted. Just because Pump is a public figure doesn’t mean you can have his phone number. (You’re welcome, Mr. Garcia.)

I can understand where the cops are coming from because I don't smoke weed I like the harder stuff, if you don't smoke weed if you don't smoke weed you can smell it on somebody's person or whatever, even if they don't have it on even if it's on it's on their breath, everyday smokers don't realize that and they can't smell it
That’s bag is below them hahahaha 100% dumbass cops trying to power trip cuz they seem a young Hispanic male with money and jewelry
The dude talks too much. I wish someone would tell him to shut the hell up!
Damn that nigga not only got all his bois in trouble but also got exposed for carrying a shit bag that aint Gucci. What a winner
Little who???? Pretty sure that nobody has heard of him or his manager, Mr Goon. Both of these chumps are irrelevant but it is pretty funny how this story ends with both arrested.
Off duty cops are normally body guards for clebs
Trash is trash.
Just watch the tape. See if they checked that bag in.
Love how they deny deny deny even though bag is tagged to him. Own up! Ur busted!
Gucci was bought by Arabics in 1999…sorry, but yo gucci ain't what you think it is, and it's not as cool as you think it is
Yo gucci is fake
Just like the off duty Chicago officer said "These youngsters are disrespectful"…
My advice to Lil Pump, Reevaluate whom you surround yourself with because chaotic/messy people will sink your career and Close a lot of doors for you.
With friends like those you don't need enemies!
There wasn’t any weed in the bag
All this over a bag of the most natural shit on earth
Sooooo lil pump and his friend went to jail for not admitting a bag wasn’t theirs that actually wasn’t theirs?
I hope he sued that police department
Lil Pump needs to get rid of his friends and hire professionals.
Aniy a way to kill my job job I got to my job job at a job and I got my way job to job and get my job job at job and got a good a job and got a good a job and got a good a job and got a good a job and got a good a job and got a good a job and got a good a job and got a good a job and got a good a job and got a good a job and got a good a job and got a good a job and got a good a job and a job I just go get to get a good job and get my job job to job and get my job job at job and got a good a job and got a good a
That off duty cop should be hired on empire…..
Both bad actor and great liar.
One day this country Will destroy because of their cops. This is totally inappropriate arrest. Cops intention is to arrest lil. These cop's are shouting more than lil
Straight up violated this man's rights. With a false arrest on disorderly conduct. There's three ways to get disorderly conduct legitimately. Threat in public. Continual harassing intimidation and violating of someone's personal space. Using foul language to incite a riot.
Smfh 😡
They giving this Former police a hard time because he's black… Facts!!!
28:47 the why they acted what about the cop who screamed in pumps face that was on tape too
The black cop his security reminds of Denzel
10:05 "but they still gotta be respectful to the police" so true in America
Why would they fly with weed….even in Canada, where the stuff is legal, you don’t,
what is life like for a grown ass man who needs another grown ass man to pack his luggage for him?
I think cops get a hard time these days but these “cops†(along with many legit cops) come on with the mind set of guilty until proven innocent. I understand being lied to all day can make you cynical especially when you smell weed from what you think is a rapper bag, but I’m sure the situation would’ve went a lot easier had he came in with two perspective, 1.) they are lying to me
Or 2.) this is all just a big mix up because that happens sometimes.
Instead he focused only on the fact that they were “lying to them,†and didn’t want to even try to see it from the other perspective. I’m sure if he were in the same situation, being held for a bag that wasn’t his that smelled like weed, he would have reacted very similarly.
The bag did not have nothing in it all this for nothing
More like, “since you made us look like idiots and delayed a flight, we’re going to seek revenge by taking you in for no reasonâ€
The only carry Gucci, but can't pay $40 for the bag to be in the right persons name. And then his bro lies and says it's not his, which is what caused this stupid shit. Granted the cops did have an attitude, but had they cooperated right off the bat, none of this would have happened. Never see viral video's from someone cooperating.
Could his stage name be any stupider?
off-duty cop, on-duty player
If this is the Airport. Those federal agents are use to locking up cops. That's not TSA. Pump must be paying him Good money to carry Weed
All this for nothing. Weed is legal now in Illinois.
