Tyga’s Lamborghini Impounded During Traffic Stop
Read the below excerpt and tell me ain’t nothing fishy about this story. From TMZ:
Tyga was pulled over around 11:00 PM for an unknown traffic violation in Hollywood. But when cops asked him for license and registration, Tyga had NEITHER … no current registration AND the rapper was unlicensed to drive.

After the ordeal, Tyga vented his frustration on Twitter, saying, “#F*** LAPD.”
