Rapper IHeartMemphis streamed his own arrest live on Instagram as police conducted what appears to be a high-risk operation at his home.
The viral footage shows officers using specialized equipment to forcibly extract a Tesla from the garage. The car appears to launch forward through the garage door in one swift motion, leaving destruction in its wake.
According to reports circulating online, IHeartMemphis had positioned the Tesla to block the garage entrance, creating a barricade situation. Police responded with what looks like an armored vehicle equipped with heavy-duty extraction gear to remove the obstacle.
The operation suggests law enforcement treated this as a serious situation requiring tactical response. The equipment used and the method of vehicle removal indicate officers needed immediate access to the property.
Multiple reports claim the situation stemmed from threats and a mental health crisis, though specific details remain unverified. The circumstances leading to the police presence haven’t been officially confirmed through public records or police statements.

IHeartMemphis rose to fame in 2015 with “Hit the Quan,” a viral hit that sparked a massive dance trend across social media. The song made him a recognizable name in the viral rap scene, even among casual listeners.
The extraction method demolished the garage door and likely caused significant damage to the Tesla itself. Vehicles used as barricades in police operations typically suffer frame damage, broken axles, and body destruction from forced removal.
