PAPOOSE VS. BED STUY PARAMEDICS: Rapper may face lawsuit over ambulance used in latest video.
The Bedford-Stuyvesant Volunteer Ambulance Corps. (BSVAC) is threatening to sue rapper Papoose for duping them into allowing their ambulance and paramedics to be part of a song promoting violence.
"His people told us the video would be about the neighborhood and how we respond to save lives," said BSVAC founder Rocky Robinson of the rapper's video for "Ambulance." However, the track contains violent lyrics likely directed toward rival rapper Leonard (Uncle Murder) Grant.
Papoose raps in the song: "In the back of that ambulance truck I'll put you’re a**. In the back of that ambulance truck you die slow. …Now they're asking your name, your age, you address, but you can't give an answer. You breathing your last breath."
"We don't want to be a part of something where somebody gets hurt," said Robinson, who says his group is now planning legal action against the artist. He "probably hasn't got much, but we'll sue anyway. Our image is everything to us."
Papoose is engaged to rapper Remy Ma, who faces up to 25 years in jail for shooting a woman outside a nightclub in Manhattan's Meatpacking District.
