The New York Police Department did not use skin color in its takedown of rapper Desiigner. The NYPD has denied racism fueled the G.O.O.D. Music rapper’s arrest last week in the Big Apple.

According to reports, crime and not race sparked Desiigner’s bust.

An NYPD official suggests to TMZ … it’s wrong to play the race card in a case like this because the man in the road rage incident who called 911 — claiming Desiigner pointed a gun at him — is Hispanic. The official says, “There was a male Hispanic complainant who said he was menaced with a black firearm from individuals in the car. There was no targeting of him because he was black, NYPD arrested him because he committed a crime.” (TMZ)

Over the weekend, Desiigner lit up an Alexander Wang fashion performance in New York.
