Rapper Meek Mill Detained by NYPD in Manhattan Gun Report Incident

Rapper Meek Mill was briefly detained and handcuffed by New York City police early Saturday morning outside a Manhattan nightclub after officers responded to a tip about a man with a firearm. Police stopped a vehicle matching the description and license plate given in the report and searched it but found no weapon. Mill, who has a history of legal issues related to gun possession, expressed embarrassment and frustration on social media, stating he was held at gunpoint without cause and initially thought the incident was a prank. Video footage shows him standing handcuffed while supporters questioned the police's actions, but the full exchange was not captured. The incident followed a report from a club bouncer who suspected Mill had a firearm and told him to discard it, prompting Mill to put something in his car before returning inside. Despite the tense encounter, no arrests were made, and all occupants were released without charges.
