Papoose Faces Lawsuit Over Bogus Ambulance Use

Rapper Papoose may be in some legal trouble regarding a video he made for his single "Ambulance." The video, which portrays a man shot and bleeding in the street, featured an ambulance vehicle and emergency personnel from the Bed-Stuy Volunteer Ambulance Corps (BSVAC). The song is known to be a diss record against rival MC Uncle Murda.

Now the BSVAC are planning legal action, claiming that Papoose and his team filmed the ambulance and emergency medical technicians (EMT) under false pretences, according to The New York Daily News.

"His people told us the video would be about the neighborhood and how we respond to save lives," BSVAC founder Rocky Robinson told the Daily News. "We don't want to be a part of something where somebody gets hurt."

Papoose is then seen casually exiting the driver's side of an ambulance while EMTs rush to work on a man lying bleeding in the street. The wounded man is a presumed stand in for Uncle Murda.
