Tyrese -- Protests at iHeartRadio ... Cited By Cops (VIDEO)

Tyrese drew a crowd outside iHeartRadio, part of his protest that black R&B soul artists are not played on white radio, and it got the attention of cops.

Tyrese has been on a campaign in the last few weeks, complaining that white radio will not play his song "Shame," despite the fact it hit #1 on the charts. He believes if Sam Smith, Justin Timberlake or Robin Thicke sang the same song, it would get tons of play.

Cops came because the protest was clogging traffic. After being warned, Tyrese got a ticket for blocking traffic.

Point made.
