R&B singer Kelis was arrested in Miami early Friday morning (March 2) for hurling racial slurs at two undceover police women.
According to the Associated Press, the officers, who were posing as prostitutes in the South Beach nightclub district as part of an investigation, claim the Harlem bred crooner (born Kelis Rogers-Jones) approached them and began screaming racial profanities.
She then rushed toward them and had to be restrained by her friends, a Miami Beach police arrest report said. The singer then calmed down for a brief moment, only to start shouting at the officers and charging them again. She resisted arrest while being handcuffed.
The 27-year- old vocalist, who is also married to Queens rapper Nas, was then detained at 4:30 a.m. and charged with the two misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest without violence.
She was released on $1,500 bond hours later, Miami-Dade County jail spokeswoman Janelle Hall said. Kelis' publicist, Tracy Nguyen, would not comment on the arrest.
