This country's biggest-selling black artist of all time, Billy Ocean has revealed he was falsely arrested over claims he was drug dealing as he waited to rehearse in London's Ladbroke Grove. He's sold more than 30 million records so far and has had number ones all over the world, including the USA, Australia, Germany, Holland, as well as the UK. Billy says he was waiting to rehearse with a steel pan band in Ladbroke Grove, 16-17 years ago when police appeared and arrested them. Billy says he kept quiet, "If I was to say I was Billy Ocean it might make things worse". The band was part of a project helping to keep kids of the street. This clip is originally from Phil Williams on Tuesday 21st June 2016.
