Paris police released rapper Lil Baby on Friday after fining him for having cannabis in his car, according to the city prosecutor’s office. It also resurfaced questions about racial profiling in France. AdvertisementThe official said that Lil Baby, whose real name is Dominique Jones, initially refused to allow police to check the car. Lil Baby and the bodyguard were taken into custody on suspicion of transporting drugs and released Friday morning after being issued fines, according to the prosecutor’s office. “I turned my head and it was unbelievable, I saw Lil Baby and James Harden ... they are standing and are being frisked,” said the witness, Lance Avraham Pena.
