Rapper Riff Raff has reportedly been arrested in North Carolina after being caught in possession of ”some sort of powerful narcotic”.
According to TMZ, the comical hip-hopper – inspiration for James Franco’s character in Spring Breakers, was pulled over on Sunday morning by police, who found marijuana, drug paraphernalia and other substances.
The star was described as ”not aggressive and polite”, arrested with two other passengers and released without bail shortly after.
Watch the video of him “getting busted” below:
Riff Raff’s studio debut is going by the name Neon Icon and will be released by Mad Decent later this year.
