Don't hurt Hammer! Beloved rapper and entertainer MC Hammer was arrested in Dublin, Calif. on Saturday for obstructing and resisting a police officer, but claimed via Twitter that he was a victim of racial profiling.

Shortly after his release from the Santa Rita Jail, the "U Can't Touch This" rapper, 50, tweeted his take on the incident.

"Chubby elvis looking dude was tapping on my car window, I rolled down the window and he said 'Are you on parole or probation?'" said the performer and preacher (real name: Stanley Kirk Burrell). "While I was handing him my ID he reached in my car and tried to pull me out the car but forgot he was on a steady donut diet," he continued.

According to TMZ, the Dublin Police Department has yet to release a statement about the arrest.
