Watch: Florida police use Lil Wayne's 'A Milli' song in drug bust video
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
"Oh, wow, police [are] making drug bust TikToks now."
We never thought we would see the day when police departments would have TikTok accounts let alone use rap music to celebrate a drug bust.
A police department in Florida has raised a few eyebrows - and caused many chuckles - after sharing a post about a drug bust operation.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office confiscated $1.1 million (R18.8m) cash, 2 kilograms of cocaine, and a gun during the December bust.
"Two thugs will spend their Christmas at the Marceno Motel," the video was captioned.
Lee County Sheriff, Carmine Marceno, and two armed officers can be seen standing in front of piles of money.
"Christmas is cancelled for these two drug dealers and the streets are clear of drugs, guns and a milli..." the sheriff says while dancing to Lil Wayne's 2008 hit.

While Lil Wayne did not comment on the use of his song in a drug bust video, social media users had a lot to say.
One TikTok use commented: "So this is why y’all never around when you’re needed, over here making TikToks."
"Oh wow police making drug bust TikToks now. Nasty work," a Twitter user wrote.
But many people were impressed with the narcotics department's efforts. "Thank you for clearing the streets of the poison & for keeping the streets safer," A TikTok user named Kathy commented.
Another user joked: "Looks like Lee county is about to get a lot more squad cars."
