Superior Court Judge Gary N. Wilcox is the subject of complaint filed with the Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct for filming himself in a series of TikTok posts that the committee considers inappropriate. The posts in question feature Wilcox rapping along to the music of Nas and Busta Rhymes.

The posts were allegedly made between April 2021 and March 2023 under the name Sal Tortorella and contain profanity, misogyny, racist terms and graphic sexual references to male and female body parts according to the New Jersey Globe. The committee took issue with one TikTok posting that features Nas' 2002 track "Get Down" from Nas' album, God's Son.

According to the Advisory Committee, "Get Down" “Contains explicit lyrics concerning a criminal case and a courtroom shooting as well as derogatory and discriminatory terms, drug and gang references, and the killing of a doctor in a hospital who treated another gang member.”

Busta Rhymes' 2006 hit "Touch It" was also named in the complaint. The lyrics in question are: “For the record, just a second, I’m freakin’ it out/ While she tryin’ to touch, see, I was peepin’ it out/ She turned around and was tryin’ to put my dick in her mouth/ I let her.” Rhianna's "Jump" and Miguel's "Sure Thing" were of note as well.

Wilcox's attorney, Robert Hille, explained that his client's posts meant no harm. “I don’t think that at the end of the day anybody is going to believe there was any desire to do any harm here,” he said, according to The New York Times. “Hindsight is 20-20.”
