Okay, first of all..his name is Lil Poopy….?

Alrighty.

Massachusetts cops have asked state child welfare officials to investigate possible child abuse or neglect in the case of a 9-year-old who appears in sexually charged rap videos.

Brockton police said Monday they haven’t filed criminal charges or arrested the father of 4th -grader Luie Rivera Jr., who goes by the stage name Lil Poopy.

A Department of Children and Families spokeswoman confirmed that officials are looking into concerns about the young rapper’s welfare.

The investigation will include interviews with everyone who lives in the child’s home and likely others who have contact with the 9-year-old, such as school officials, DCF spokeswoman Cayenne Isaksen said. Child welfare officials can refer the case to the local district attorney’s office if an investigation finds any criminal behavior, she said.

The video for rapper Lil Poopy’s “Pop That Remix” is filled with your standard rap video tropes: flashy cars, flashy women, lots of talk about his lavish lifestyle.

Cops think the video (slightly NSFW), featuring Lil Poopy’s references to drug culture, a ballin’ lifestyle and sexually suggestive moves are enough to warrant concern about little Luie’s welfare.

“The filers of this report wanted to make sure the child is being properly cared for,” Isaksen said. “…So the department will look into all aspects of this.”

The videos show the boy slapping a woman’s buttocks, engaging in sexually suggestive dances and glorifying drug use and materialism.

Police started investigating after the local newspaper, The Enterprise, did a story about the boy.

The boy’s father, Luis Rivera, told the newspaper his son is acting and not doing anything wrong. He said he planned to contact his lawyer on Monday.

The newspaper said the boy has performed alongside Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, and was discovered in his father’s music studio by the rapper known as French Montana, who founded Cocaine City Records.

His dad, Luis Rivera, hasn’t been arrested or charged with a crime. Bad parenting? Certainly. Child abuse?
