Rap sensation Wiz Khalifa was arrested on Monday night in Greenville, N.C., after his tour bus was searched by police and marijuana was discovered.
Khalifa, whose real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz was on his "Waken Baken 2010 Tour" and had just finished performing at East Carolina University. The facts are not clear regarding why the 23-year-old hip-hop performer's bus was stopped and searched by local police.
Reportedly, authorities found large amounts of marijuana on the bus, but how much of the drug was actually found is unknown,In a recent interview with MeetThaDealerTV, Khalifa is not only seen smoking marijuana, but shamelessly broadcasts the fact that he easily spends at least $10,000 a month on it. He also encourages the use of weed and touts its use in the form of a public service announcement on the video:
"A great day for me is when I can wake up, get high and perform for my fans," Khalifa said in the interview. "It's not abnormal for me to spend at least $10,000 a month on weed easily."
The controversial hip-hop artist has also released king-size Wiz Khalifa Brand rolling papers, which are for sale at select outlets only.
The rapper was released from a detention center on Tuesday morning on a $300,000 bond.
