According to Deadline, the View co-host, Sunny Hostin, asked the rapper about the incident.
Real name Mike Render, the rapper spoke about not letting the arrest get to him.
“All of my heroes have been in handcuffs – Malcolm, Martin, Mandela, Medgar. I walked out with the same dignity and respect that I walked in with, and I would implore people to just take that from it.”
