Rapper Blac Youngsta said he was stopped and detained by the police after withdrawing hundreds of thousands out the bank.

Real name Sam Benson, he said it all began when he stopped by a Wells Fargo bank in Atlanta, Ga.

Benson said he withdrew $200,000 in cash from his account. He said when he came out of the bank, a police officer pointed at him.

“They come bum rushing me at the car, put me on the ground, putting guns to my head, so I’m like ‘What I’d do,’” Benson told 11alive. “A lady was like I’m not supposed to have…$200,000 on me. I’m like, ‘I’m a millionaire. How can I not have $200,000 on me?’

The rapper posted a photo on Facebook. It shows several police with Benson on the ground with his arms handcuffed behind his back.

Benson said police told them that someone had written a bogus check previously.

“They thought I did it too, but I’m legit,” Benson said. “They confused me with whoever they were looking for.”

Blac Youngsta said police apologized after they initially seized $100,000 of his cash, but later confirmed he had recovered the money.

The rapper said he withdraw the money to buy a vehicle. To be exact, a Maybach. But now since the incident, the rapper told 11Alive that he might now change it to a Ferarri.

Our only question is,  with all the technology and convenience of bank cards and checks, why did he deem to withdraw $200,000 out of the bank to buy a car?
