Dance Team Gets Detained By NYPD-FBI Trying To Make It To 106 and Park!!

Let’s start by asking WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!?!?!? Yesterday, during rush-hour, the Lincoln Tunnel in New York was closed for almost an hour when the Joint Terrorism Task Force was called after reports that six people in camouflage had fled their cars and were on foot INSIDE THE TUNNEL…smh
A dance troupe called “Club Envy” that consists of three young men, Ronnie Killing Jr., 20; Dontel Jabal Madison, 18; Darius Hutchins, 19, and three 16-year-old girls, Adaya Foster, Kenya Clark and Courtney King were held by the Homeland Security division to determine who they were and why they were sprinting thought the busy New York thoroughfare.

“They drew their guns on us at first,” said Landon Burse, 24, the group’s executive director who arranged the appearance on BET’s “106 & Park” segment “Wild on Wednesday.”
“It was terrifying. I was crying,” said Eternity Odom, 16, one of the four girls who perform in the group. The tunnel was closed for 45 minutes before cops realized the eight-member team was headed to the studio on West 57th Street. They eventually offered them a police escort to make the show. But it was too late — the hard-headed producers of the live talent show told them not to bother, sending them in a trail of tears back down the New Jersey Turnpike.

We can appreciate how badly these kids wanted to perform, especially on a national stage like “106 and Park,” and all the work they put in practicing their routine as well as actually making the long trip from to NYC

The group, called “Club Envy,” had set out from Jacksonville about 24 hours earlier with stardust in their eyes as they hit I-95 for the 1,158 mile trip north — a trip for which they spent three months holding local fundraisers.

Fortunately, the officers believed the group’s story and even made an attempt to contact BET and offer a police escort to the studio, however officials at BET said that they were too late and taping had already ended. There has been a commitment to reschedule the performance for a later date.
We’re glad to see that the officers attempted to help them, but in the future kids, stay in the car. The last thing you want to do nowadays is be misconstrued as a terrorist, some of these “law enforcement officers” are liiiiitle trigger happy if you catch our drift.
