Lil Poopy
*Massachusetts child welfare authorities are investigating the family of a 9-year-old rapper whose music videos posted on YouTube show him in adult-themed situations – including scenes that are sexually suggestive and mention illegal drugs.
Luie Rivera Jr., whose stage name is “Lil Poopy,” is part of Moroccan-born rapper French Montana’s group, Coke Boys. The youngster is seen in videos smacking a woman’s backside, flashing wads of cash, riding in a Ferrari and rapping about how “coke is not a bad word.” A separate video shows him in a nightclub with a dancing woman in a sexually suggestive position, with people in the crowd throwing cash.
The Brockton, Massachusetts, police department contacted the state’s Department of Children and Families after receiving a call from a “concerned citizen” who saw the boy in the videos. The state agency is brought in when there is suspicion of physical, mental, or emotional abuse of a child, according to Brockton police Lt. Robert Sergio.
“An investigation is now open,” said Cayenne Isaksen, public affairs director for the state agency. Isaksen would not discuss details about the investigation, but added that non-emergency investigations typically take no longer than 15 days.
According to CNN affiliate WCVB, Lil Poopy’s father, Luis Rivera, says his son is “not doing anything wrong.” His attorney Joseph Krowski Jr. said Monday the boy is a thriving, well-adjusted fourth-grader with a good home life, good grades and musical talent.
“This is just what I would call a racially-tinged investigation because whoever watched it probably doesn’t understand rap,” Krowski said of his client, who is of Puerto Rican descent. “…This isn’t some child left alone that’s not going to school. It all comes down to content in the videos, which is protected by the First Amendment.”
Watch some of his videos below.
I am so sick of people using the First Amendement to justify every disgusting thing they do!!!! What ever happen to having self responsibility and self respect!!!!!!! I don’t think the founding fathers had 9 years being exploited for the financial gain of their so-called ‘parents’ in mind when they created the First Amendment… Today’s society is going to h*ll in a hand-basket. It breaks my heart to know that young boys and young men, young girls and young women are being taught (by society and their parents) that there are no consequences for their negative behaviors and decisions and that it’s all good as long as you say it’s FREE SPEECH.
And to use the race card was comical.
“This is just what I would call a racially-tinged investigation because whoever watched it probably doesn’t understand rap,” Krowski said of his client, who is of Puerto Rican descent. “
Mr. KROWSKI, what exactly do you know about rap? I’ve been into hip hop since the beginning and in no way, shape or form is this okay. Please don’t speak for me.
As parents we make some mistakes; some bigger than others…own it, correct it and do better next time.
COMPLETELY AGREE,!!! Our society has taken everything to an extreme and nothing is ever any bodies own fault. It’s always so done else’s fault or it’s a “disease” or disorder. I’m sick of no accountability!
Does this not remind anyone of Riley and Thugnificent’s Lethal Interjection crew?
The love of money is the root of all evil. And this fool’s decision to exploit his own son for money is the epitome of evil. Where is the mother? Hope someone saves this baby.
Ahhaaa! We finally find out who’s French Montana’s ghost writer!
Omigosh djnitti. I was thinking the exact same thing.
No disrespect to the children but his “musical talent” made me want to vommit. I can’t stand when grown ups exploit kids ridiculously. Other than that, I agree with what everyone else said.
I now see even more why we some kids have no connection with reality, the bling, *itches and wads of cash is not the future. I sincerly hope the young brother is doing good in school….I’m trying to see “HOPE” in his generation. Time will tell…….
