Wiz Khalifa

Wiz Khalifa makes no effort to hide his affection of marijuana.  His music is decidedly potheadish, with mixtape titles such as Burn After Rolling and his current tour labeled Waken & Baken…  Wiz invites his fans to smoke with him after his shows via Twitter, and following a show at East Carolina University, it was the police who took him up on his offer.  According to MTV the charges are pretty serious, and way beyond a slap on the wrist.

“On Tuesday morning (November 9), a spokesperson for the Pitt County Detention Center confirmed to MTV News that Khalifa (born Cameron Thomaz), 22, was booked into the jail at around 1:30 a.m. He posted $300,000 bail and was released from detention at around 8 a.m. ET.

The “Black and Yellow” rapper was charged with a felony count of trafficking in marijuana, a felony count of maintaining a dwelling/vehicle/place for sale or storage of marijuana and one misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia. Nine other people were arrested along with Khalifa on the same charges and were still in jail at press time.”

Video of the arrest was captured with fans booing the police and shouting “Free Wiz.”  See it below.
