Top Tier battle rapper Nu Jerzey Twork took to social media on Father’s Day to show his supporters the damage to his vehicle after police officers shot at him and his friends. In the background of his IG Live, fans could hear his associate asking to be read his rights before being handcuffed … and the officers refusing to honor his request.
The video starts with the New Jersey artist in the front seat of his car, shouting, “The police just tried to kill us!”
He eventually gets out of the car and that’s when his friend seems to be getting arrested. He takes the viewers on a tour of the scene and puts the camera on the officer that he believes shot at the back window of his vehicle. You can see the cracked glass and can hear the terror of being illegally stopped or shot at in his voice.
Despite his outrage, he is adamant to let the people know of the injustice — presumably perpetrated because he is Black, young, and looking like new money.
“The police just gotta kill us,” he shared. “That’s why so many innocent Black motherf**kers are dying today. Man, f**k the police.”
Then you hear a voice, maybe of another officer (though they say that he isn’t on the tape), confronting them about the incident. Still, Twork remains calm. Tosses a cigarette in his mouth to keep his cool — and lays out his case for harassment.
He ended his live with a famous quote from N.W.A., “F**k the Police.
F### THE POLICE https://t.co/cZDZ9mbYgD

Nu Jerzey Twork is a roster battler at the Ultimate Rap League and has been associated with The Goonies and NWX. Last year, he was in a car accident that left him pretty banged up. He is recovering. This harassment is not helping with his optimal healing. But that’s why he is nipping it in the bud. Check out his convo with Ooops, former Missouri Congressman, and Oscar-nominated icon.
I’m Headed To The Police Station Now! https://t.co/02PPj6d4VA
