What Dougie B’s arrest could mean

Dougie’s arrest comes at a time of increased pressure on the New York drill scene. The recent murders of artists such as C-Hii Wvtts and Tdott Woo, along with the arrests of Kay Flock and C Blu, has cast drill in a negative light. Recently, New York mayor Eric Adams even called for a ban on drill rap videos.

However, Adams met with members of the drill scene in February to tackle the rising gun violence in the city. The prominent drill rappers involved in the dialogue included Fivio Foreign, B-Lovee and Maino.

“It’s been a lot of talk about drill rap, drill rap music in New York City, connecting violence with the culture, and I just wanted to create a conversation with the mayor,” Maino said in a clip posted on Instagram. [We’re here] to talk about what’s really happening so the mayor could get a real perspective and real understanding of what drill rap is and so we could have some real dialogue and really make things happen.”
