Corey J, the 12-year-old rapper who once appeared on Ellen, was arrested at a Georgia mall on October 6. In video footage posted on Corey’s Instagram account earlier this week, a Cobb County officer grabs Corey by the arm and threatens to take him to a youth detention center for allegedly selling CDs.
As his aunt looks on and continues to film, all hell breaks loose when Corey — who also goes by Lil C-Note — tries to remove his arm from the officer’s tight grip. Consequently, both Corey and his aunt were arrested for felony obstruction, misdemeanor obstruction, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct, according to 11 Alive.
In the Instagram caption, the officer is accused of treating Corey like a “rag doll.”
“Tha fact that he snatched me & was trying to drag me around like I’m sum criminal that’s stealing, robbing or killing or sum is #Crazy,” the caption reads. “But tha worst part is he trying to charging me with a #felony putting my hands on a #PoliceOfficer he say I tried to brake his fingers, he say I cussed him & he say I pushed him! Where in this video do it show I did anything but tell him I know my rights & then when he proceeded to try and drag me.
“my auntie stepped in & got in between us to get tha #Police off me, cause he was treating me like uh lil rag dog he can sling around…. All #Police is not bad, a lot are good friends of mines. But it’s some of you that do not deserve to be in a #PoliceUniform & this guy is clearly 1!!! Right is Right / Wrong is Wrong!! #CobbCounty #Police We must get to tha bottom of this… I’m just a kid out here standing for tha right & Motivating other kids in a positive way. Why try to destroy & bring me down!?!?”
Cobb County police chief Mike Register is aware of the complaints and his department is launching an internal investigation.
Naturally, Twitter had something to say about Corey’s arrest, which is attracting national attention.

Being black hurts
You guys forgot to say a BLACK 12 year old rapper. I’m sure he complied with the officer and didn’t hit him with any dindu shit. He’ll be in prison or dead by age 20. When cops run up on you, just say “OK” and do what they say. Seriously.
Because, the bottom line is…you can’t solicite in the Mall. Ok, ok, so what, right? But if you stop to focus, and believe the police will use anything to bust u, then u know that they will stoop as low as this. Go ahead, protest, do all that stuff, but at the end of the day, your not suppose to solicite in the store without proper license to sell business. Period…so in a sense, u gave the police a reason, and they jumped on it. And now this is viral, and we as society act like the police is not suppose to do that. And then he gets smart like he’s bigger than the police knowing damn well, youngsters his age are packin heat all the time, and that makes police peranoid and treat you like this. Really don’t see anything wrong till the lady gets crazy.
I love how black people jump to conclusions and cry black profiling and racism when they don’t even know the full story of what happened. Just like the white lady who called the police on the black man trying to get into his condo because she didn’t know if he lived there or not. Turns out she was married to a black man and the situation had nothing to do with racism. Lol…… THIS is why the black race will never become more than what they are except a select few. You accept what’s in front of your eyes and run with it. Morpheus from The Matrix needs to be the mascot for the black race because you people (yes, YOU PEOPLE) need to free your mind because ALL of you are brainwashed. Watch the replies prove my point….
Pretty sure he could have talked to the kid and gave him a warning. Maybe if it was little jimmy..
He was talking to the kid and gave him a warning. Before THAT camera was rolling the kid mouthed off to him, said he wasn’t going to leave and that he knew his rights. He obviously didn’t know about his right to remain silent. There are body cams nowadays didus. All that race card shit won’t work anymore…
Just because that white lady has a black husband doesn’t mean she wasn’t being racist or that she could never have racist beliefs. She profiled that man due to the colour of his skin. That’s racism.

And while I agree that yes, the child was selling CD’s where he wasn’t supposed too, the police officer could have treated him like the child he is, and gave him a stern warning and sent him on his way. The law is the law, no doubt, but the best police officers, from my experience at least, don’t see the law as simply black and white. There is a lot of grey area in real life which must be considered and factored in order to truly serve and protect the people of your community. Yes, the child (he is a child, remember?) did wrong, but the way he was treated was reprehensible, unnecessary and uncalled for in that specific situation.
Also, we all know there’s no way this happens to a 12-year-old white kid with a guitar selling his country CDs. Just saying….

I actually think its a good thing for black people to unite and stand up for each other, you been listening to kanye too much stop it, and the lady could still be racist while married to a black man, I’ve seen it first hand, justified by saying they don’t like “ghetto” people, sounds like you’re easily brainwashed by being manipulated into thinking you’re “woke” but you not
The child did not have permission by the property owners to sell products at that location. Trespass. The child resisted. End of story. Know the facts.
A fucking coward or a pussy ass pale face. The kid should of been told to leave and explained to why he cant sell the cd’s. Not treated like a criminal. If that was some white girl scout selling cookies that POS cop would of bought a couple of boxes.
True shit fuck these white ass fuckin crackas
The kid was told to leave. That all was explained to him. You’re a moron. Calling people racial slurs and shit. The law applies to everyone, regardless of age and race. Let me guess, you’re a convicted felon?

This some b.s so the aunt stands there and films instead of being a guardian and taking responsibility for taking the kid inside a mall to sell shit when her old ass knows damn well that shxt is not legal. You can’t go inside a mall and start selling random shxt people pay for the right to be in the and sell their goods or provide services but if you black and and have camera you can just stroll in and do some dumb shxt knowing damn well it’s not gonna end well.
He should be charged with “selling CDs in 2018”
He should be charged with “being black in a continent other than Africa”.
The comment section is full of cowards, stupid people and weirdos with no rationale. You guys are fucking disgusting.
I hate georgia. Police be doing the most out there. Keep yall stripers and souther hospitality … Miss me with that shit … Fuck 12
I hate georgia … Police be doing the most out there … F 12!!!
I’ll just walk into a mall and set up a lemonade stand in the middle of the food court, right on the floor, not pay rent or anything. Thy makes sense, right? Then when a cop tells me to leave or he’ll arrest me, I’ll tell him I know my rights. If I’m black and a minor, I get a pass, right? Fucking morons. Fill those prisons…
You’re not black, so stay out of black folks’ business.
You should try that “you’re not black” line on a cop or a judge. Hahaha. Idiot. Nice name. Shone. You had shine in the past? Hahahaha. The race card doesn’t work anymore for ANYONE! This was all filmed from different angles, not just the stupid aunt’s version mid confrontation. BTW, the second you yell racism, it becomes EVERYONE’s business.
how was the kid supposed to leave when the police officer has a vice grip on his arm ? i swear i hate when non black people try to tell us how to behave when were harassed. they wouldn’t have treated anyone else like this for a non violent crime smh
Hahahaha. Sure. The cop DID tell him to leave. He didn’t. The cop didn’t just walk up and grab him by the arm yelling stop. As far as stay out of black people business, eat a dick. Stay out of prison. The cop, and witnesses said (some black), and the black security guard said the cop told him he couldn’t sell CDS and he had to leave. The kid said I don’t have to leave, I Know my rights, that’s when the cop grabbed him. This is all filmed. Jackass. The Dindu aunt started filming mid confrontation.
I hope next time the cops pull a Rodney King on his black ass.
Another day another dindu #HeAGudBoi
I’m sick of your racist ass.
Fuck a white racist pig
This comment section is full of racist comments but I can’t talk about y’all losing a lawsuit to 50 cent?
Delete the rest of these racist ass comments you stupid bitch
Except for your racist comments, right? Those can stay.
fuck the bitch ass police
Here we see a future kang destined for greatness – by the time he hits 20 he will be shot and killed (by another black man) or in prison. #WeWuzKangz
Delete these racist assed comments. Now!
For sure. Anyone who believes in the first amendment or that the law applies to everyone regardless of race or age should be deleted. How many felonies do you have so far friend?
Zero. Bitch.
For now, or your probably lying. Hahaha. Is your mom in this conversation? I noticed you mentioned her by name. Bitch. Hahaha
Funny how it’s white people that are most sensitive about race nowadays.
For sure. Notice all those whites in the clip above protesting a kid being arrested for trespassing and obstruction who was given a chance to walk away, then trespassed and obstructed. Jackass. I think white people are sick of the bitching all day. Sick of 65% of crime being committed by 15% of the populous, who then, in turn act like victims. I’m not white BTW.
If someone in the comments says they’re not white, they more than likely are.
Brazilian buddy. Latino. I get affermitaive action too.
If I were black, I would be embarrassed by this tomfoolery. The cop OBVIOUSLY walked over and told him tonteáveis and that he couldn’t sell CDs inside a SHOPPING MALL! Duh!! He definitely answered something like “I know my rights, you can’t make me leave”, with his ignorant ass aunt yelling “you racist” in the background. I’m sure the cop said “this is private property, you’re now trespassing, if you don’t leave, I’ll arrest you. Mind you this all went down IN FRONT OF A BLACK SECURITY GUARD WHO HAD ZERO PROBLEM WITH THE SITUATION! The kid for sure continued with the “I know my rights, you can’t…” yada yada. It could have been an ignorant entitled little brat with an ignorant adult of any race, religion or sexual preference etc. same result. All of these morons are rallying around this idiot? Will he do the same as an adult when caught doing something wrong? For sure. I hope they don’t drop ANY of the charges on him or his aunt. This is bullshit. If the kid were white, no one would be saying shit, and yes, it would have happened exactly the same way. Victim mentality is stupid. If you’re wrong, say sorry and move along. People are acting like the world began when his aunt started filming. This cop just walks up to random black kids and latches o. To their arm, in 2018 PC/SJW América were everyone films everything, and he hasn’t had any issues with this before? Wake up morons. The sunken word is in reverse idiots…
Need a permit, plain and simple. He would’ve been better off selling at a flea market / swap meet.
That white cop feels so tough manhandling a 12yr old black kid. Smh
I think the black kid feels really cool talking himself into a felony. You are obviously retarded.
Shut the fuck up you fucking idiot.
My Youngin probably into Naruto or One Piece, 12 years old hustling out cd’s in a mall…. I find this hilarious. In 4 years you’re going to have 8 year old’s trying to do the same in The White House or some shit
