An alleged bodycam footage of Chicago R&B singer and rapper Ann Marie's arrest for an argument with her "brother" has gone viral on social media.

In the video, a police officer can be seen confronting the singer at the door of his “brother's” residence. The officer can be seen talking about why she was arguing with the victim. While the officer asks them about what they were arguing about, to which she defends herself, saying that she was trying to stop him.
"Y'all don't even know the reason why you shouldn't be fighting," the officer says. "I didn't fight," she replies. The argument goes on as the police escort the singer out of the apartment building and into the police vehicle.
