SpotemGottem‘s face has been featured on a racist billboard in Michigan, though it isn’t entirely clear who is behind the derogatory message stamped on it.
An undated photo that went viral on Tuesday (April 23) features an image of the 4Chan personality (real name Nehemiah Lamar Harden) on a giant sign that also reads: “Go back to Africa!”

The billboard was reportedly spotted in Michigan, and as of now, no further details about it are known — it remains unclear who put it up or if it has been taken down since.

The “Beat Box” rapper, however, has far greater concerns at the moment. Last month, the Florida native went viral after bodycam footage from a 2023 incident involving him leaked online.
In it, the internet sensation can be seen hiding in somebody’s shed as Miami-Dade officers arrest him on weapons charges following a lengthy chase.
The clip shows SpotemGottem crawling on his hands and knees as the cops, accompanied by a K-9 dog, order him to come out of the shed, following which they also appear to seize his gold chains.
The footage is from last year, when he fled from police after they attempted to pull him over during a traffic stop.

The arrest form indicates that police pulled over the 22-year-old rapper because his Corvette had tinted windows. When they approached the car, he accelerated and drove off.
While other officers were alerted about the pursuit, he collided with another vehicle. His car eventually gave out on him and the police caught up to him on foot.

Upon searching his vehicle, authorities found one Glock 23 with an illegally modified automatic sear, one extended .40-caliber gun magazine with 19 rounds of ammunition and a loose .40-caliber round. Because the controversial figure did not have a concealed weapons permit and was driving with a suspended license, he was hit with multiple charges.
In 2022, he was arrested in Miami after leading police on a jet ski chase that allegedly risked the lives and properties of people nearby.

The year before that, he was arrested by US Marshals on an array of weapons charges, according to NBC 6 South Florida.
