It was a bad week for rappers as Snoop Dogg was briefly detained by Swiss authorities over suspicions of drug suspicion. The incident comes on the heels of another rapper, Chris Brown, not allowed by Philippine immigration authorities to leave for Hong Kong on Wednesday over charges of breach of contract.
Snoop was ordered to pull over by a police car on Saturday night. The officers noticed he was under the influence of drugs and arrested him. The rapper was taken to a police station and required to undergo urine test, Time reports.
While the 43-year-old rapper was allowed to go after the test and the incident lasted just a few minutes, Snoop claims he was traumatized by what happened and said in an Instagram post that he would never return to Sweden again, reports Mashable.
"They took me down there, made me pee in a cup, didn't find s-t," posts Snoop who calls the incident racial profiling but apologizes to his Swedish fans. Results of the drug test is not out yet.
He writes, "U can blame YA police dept for never seeing me again in your beautiful country its always a few d**ks that f**k it up for everybody." He ends the post with a defiant, "And I'm still smoking.""
Besides the rapper having a history of drug use, Snoop does not hide his love for marijuana in the lyrics of his songs. He also owns a line of rolling papers used for getting high.
Meanwhile, Sweden has one of the strictest drugs law in the world. Getting high is illegal and the police are permitted to require a urine or blood test on any person suspected to being high due to drugs.
