Rapper 2 Chainz was arrested Thursday on suspicion of drug possession in Maryland, where he was supposed to perform a college event.
The 35-year-old, whose real name is Tauheed Epps, was pulled over for allegedly going 79 mph in a 55 mph zone in Easton, Md., when cops reportedly smelled marijuana in the van. Police found a marijuana grinder and traces of marijuana in a backpack he said he owned and arrested him.
The "I'm Different" rapper was cited for allegedly having drug paraphernalia and marijuana and was released, but not before he posed for a photo with Maryland policemen. He was the only person taken into custody . He could face up a year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000, according to the Associated Press.
The Grammy Award nominee posted a photo of himself flanked by two cops posing for the snapshot after the alleged incident on his Instagram page.
"Locked me up and then Wanted pictures smh," he wrote. Adding, "We to jail for a grinder???
REALLY???"
He continued to tweet about the whole ordeal and still made it to his performance at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's homecoming.
"I work hard and pray even harder , we gone always b good y'all...." he wrote. "Not to mention my security said it was his and they said , he don't smoke ,, how ... u know? Haha wut a valentines day!!!"
