‘Influencer’ arrested amid Philadelphia looting demands money from followers

An Instagram ‘influencer’ who was caught filming and cheering on a gang of looters in Philadelphia on Wednesday has, unsurprisingly, taken to social media to protest her innocence and beg for cash. Dayjia Blackwell, aka ‘Meatball,’ aka the one yelling ‘GOT ONE!’ and ‘FREE AH PHONES!,’ took to Instagram Live on Thursday, in a stream that now appears to have been mostly deleted. Blackwell complained to her followers that she was ‘traumatized,’ that the cops ‘did her dirty,’ and demanded that all charges be ‘expunged’ from her record. She insisted that she was ‘not a trouble person’ and that she ‘didn’t know this s*** would go this far.’ This is despite Blackwell having filmed herself yelling ‘Tell the police if they lock me up tonight, it’s going to be lit, it’s going to be a movie!’ She didn’t seem too traumatized at the time. In order to get over her ‘trauma,’ Blackwell declared she needed to go ‘treat herself,’ and plugged her CashApp handle, ordering her followers to ‘go bless her’ as a ‘welcome home’ present. Meanwhile she faces charges of Burglary, Conspiracy, Criminal Trespass, Riot, Criminal Mischief, Criminal Use of Communication Facility, Receipt of Stolen Property, and Disorderly Conduct. Quite an impressive list for someone who claims to have been an innocent bystander.
