The New York Police Department says the rapper went to a police precinct early Sunday to report what happened to him. Authorities say he stated he had been the passenger in a car that was bumped by another vehicle around 4:30 a.m. in Brooklyn and the two men got out and forced him into their car. According to the police report, two men displayed firearms, took Tekashi69’s cellphone away and put him into their vehicle to drive to an undisclosed location.
