Former City Council candidate Whitney Hu is being sued for defamation in State Supreme Court by a Brooklyn rapper and activist.
Hu is now the campaign manager for mayoral candidate Dianne Morales.
Israel Burns, aka Ace Burns, says in court papers filed Saturday that Hu libeled and slandered him during last year’s protests against police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, by saying he was “actively working with the police” and is a “known aggressor and abuser.”
