Bartlett’s mother, Stacia Mac, was not happy, saying police pulled over Polo G and her younger son, whom she said police would not let her approach. “My son Polo G came from his afterparty at Allure and basically they stopped them because they were driving while black. Let’s keep in mind they were driving in a licensed vehicle with security and a driver. He wasn’t even the person driving,” she said. According to a police report, the car Bartlett was in was pulled over.
