Styles P is beginning to trend after a video has gone viral of him stepping in to protect a woman being detained by police.
The video, which first surfaced this afternoon (July 12), shows the woman being taken down to the ground by two police officers allegedly in Yonkers, N.Y. Her apparent moped can been seen laying on the ground near her. Although unconfirmed at this time, it's being rumored that she is a deliverer for Uber.
As the woman is handcuffed by police, another woman begins to film and then shout at the officers, telling them that she is recording the somewhat violent arrest.
As the first woman is being pinned to the ground and arrested she repeatedly tells the officers she is not resisting arrest. Moments later, Styles P appears on the scene.
"Yo! He's a bitch," the rapper is heard telling one of the officers, then telling the woman recording on her phone to keep shooting.
"Yo, sista, loosen up," he tells the woman being detained, in an attempt to deescalate the situation for her while extending a hand to try and help.
"You's a fucking hoe," he then tells one of the officers. "You a whole bitch."
That officer stands up and begins to approach Styles who raises his hands and says, “I'mma back up. Don’t touch me.”
"Keep recording me," Styles directs the woman recording. "You slammed a girl! For no reason!" he then shouts at the officer.
As the video continues, Styles is seen standing his ground against the cop, eventually moving to the other side of the woman being detained.
Styles is receiving accolades on social networks for defending the woman and confronting the cops.
XXL has reached out to the Yonkers Police Department and a rep for Styles P for comment.
