Overnight in Los Angeles, singer Wyclef Jean was briefly handcuffed by the LAPD after he was reportedly mistaken for a suspect in a robbery.
Jean, suffice it to say, was not happy:

Jean posted videos of the incident to Twitter and Instagram, saying “I was in the studio but im in handcuffs?”

And he can be heard in this brief clip saying, “Just so y’all know, I will be suing the LAPD”:

We don’t see any response yet from the LAPD and we’ll update this post as soon as we know more.
