Cordae and other participants, including fellow rappers Trae tha Truth and Mysonne, were arrested after refusing to leave the property once Cameron asked law enforcement to remove protestors. According to XXL and confirmed by the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections, Cordae was charged with intimidating a participant in legal process, disorderly conduct, and criminal trespassing.
