A Detroit rapper known as Young Calicoe is now under investigation by police after a video of him referencing dog fights went viral online.

In the video the rapper gives a walk through tour of his home, which includes his collection of dogs and roosters.

When he walks through the yard  makeshift kennels with chained pitbulls can be seen. The rapper also points out some puppies that he refers to as “champions in the making”.

At one point in the video Young Calicoe references Michael Vick — the NFL player who went to jail for his involvement in an illegal dog fighting ring.

“I hope we don’t get indicted for that,” he says.

The Michigan Humane Society is now also taking a closer look at the video.
