RAPPER CURSES OUT THE FINEST

‘F--k NYPD’ chants after car-gun bust

Rapper Roddy Ricch performed at Hot 97’s Summer Jam on Sunday — where he led the crowd in a “F--k the NYPD” chant hours after gun-possession charges against him were dropped in Queens.

The Grammy-winning artist, whose real name is Rodrick Moore, had been busted at a security checkpoint outside the Governors Ball Music Festival at Citi Field Saturday night right before he was set to perform.

Moore and two other men were inside a 2020 black Cadillac Escalade when a security guard with a private firm hired for the Queens concert spotted a Canik 9mm stashed under a seat inside the car, according to police.

A large-capacity magazine containing nine ammo rounds was also found, police sources said.

“The reason we do these checkpoints is for expressly this purpose,” an NYPD official told The Post Sunday. “We don’t want people introducing guns in this venue.”

Moore, 23, was arrested along with Carlos Collins, 57, of New Jersey, and Michael Figueroa, 46, of Brooklyn. They were taken into custody and charged with felony gun-possession raps, cops said.

But the next morning, “Die Young” performer Ricch was released and the charges against him and Collins dropped in a move that the Queens District Attorney’s Office and police refused to explain.

‘Get out of the car’

At Figueroa’s arraignment Sunday on a felony charge of criminal possession of a loaded firearm in Queens Criminal Court, it surfaced that the security guard who stopped the vehicle told police he asked Figueroa to get out of the car during the incident.

As the guard attempted to open the front passenger door, Figueroa told the worker, “I am not ready to get out yet,” the criminal

complaint states.

The guard then allegedly witnessed Figueroa go into the left side of his waistband, pull out an object and then reach toward his feet, the court record states.

When Figueroa got out of the car and the guard was able to search the vehicle, he found the gun underneath the front passenger floor mat, the criminal complaint says.

Law-enforcement sources said the charges against Moore and Collins were dropped because Figueroa allegedly had the firearm in his possession and tried to hide it.

Moore’s initial bust prevented him from performing at the Governors Ball, but he took the stage at the local radio station’s Summer Jam, where he led the expletivea laden chant for few beats before launching into a song.

“This is typical street stuff. . . . The ‘F--k the NYPD’ comments are typical,” a Manhattan detective with 20 years on the job told The Post Tuesday. “The cops probably treated him great.”

Another senior law-enforcement source groused, “Loaded illegal gun with extended mag in [the] car, but no big deal in New York City anymore. Let’s just apologize for wasting his time.”

The crowd obliged Moore’s chant and repeated “F--k the NYPD” a couple of times before the song began.
