Cops Called on Black Man for Singing JAY-Z's '99 Problems'

Davon Eddington was on the phone with his brother enjoying a beer in his own backyard. The pair was talking about the Lakers and LeBron James when Eddington casually quoted the infamous JAY-Z lyric, “I got 99 problems but a b—h ain’t one.”

A neighbor overhead his comment and came to the conclusion that he was beating his wife who was upstairs showering at the time. TMZ reports that police arrived to the scene with their guns already drawn.

The situation was swiftly diffused once law enforcements learned that it was a big misunderstanding. Eddington explained how the incident went down in a video shared by TMZ.

“I end up walking around to the front of my house and I end up being met by police with guns drawn,” he says. “And another officer came running like, ‘No, no no, this is not how it happened. We kinda heard the conversation and he’s been on the phone the whole time.’ “It was like, ‘We apologize. It seems like you’ve been swatted.’”
