Rapper Mohamed Bellahmed, known as Moha La Squale, was placed in police custody on Friday in the 18th arrondissement of Paris for refusing to comply, violence against a law enforcement officer and rebellion, we learned from a police source.
It was during a roadside check in the 18th arrondissement, in the north of Paris, that the police realized that the person they were checking was the subject of an arrest warrant for refusal to comply, according to this police source. However, he managed to escape on foot before being caught and "hardly handcuffed", while the friend who accompanied him and filmed the scene tried to grab the arm of a police officer, according to the same source. .
Summoned for "death threats with a weapon"
Several videos of the arrest circulating on social networks indeed show a man on the ground and three police officers who try to handcuff him while a young woman films the scene. On the videos we also see that she grabs the arm of one of the three police officers, who tries to handcuff the man. A second police officer on the ground kicks the young woman who moves away while passers-by shout "it's Moha La Squale". This is confirmed by the man arrested, once handcuffed, by shouting "this is Moha La Squale, the team".
The 25-year-old Parisian rapper was taken into police custody for refusing to comply (subject of his search warrant), violence against a law enforcement officer and rebellion. Her friend was placed in police custody for violence against a police officer and obstructing the action of the police.
In March 2019, he was summoned to the Saint-Pierre Criminal Court in Réunion for "death threats with a weapon", after threatening a couple with a knife in the bar of a hotel.
One of the big musical revelations of 2018
Moha La Squale, who now has millions of views on his clips on Youtube, was one of the big revelations of 2018, author of a first album "Bendero" acclaimed by the public (gold record, more than 50,000 copies sold) and by critics.
Named to the Victoires de la Musique 2019, the charismatic artist with long hair, who went through the Cours Florent, had been spotted with "freestyles" posted on Facebook and Youtube, where he can be seen rapping in his kitchen or in his neighborhood in Ménilmontant, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. He already told the street, his own daily life, his life before when he was a dealer and then in prison, but also the fate of fictional characters like Bendero who will give his title to his first album.
