Snoop Dog Arrested in Sweden Over Drugs, Accuses Racial Profiling

Snoop Dog's rant against the Swedish police recently created a buzz on social media. The rapper was arrested on Saturday, July 25, after cops believed he was high on marijuana. The rapper, on the other hand, aired his side that the Swedish authorities arrested him mainly because of his color.

The 43-year-old rapper claimed that he will not return to Sweden anymore after the police put him in a bad light. Snoop Dog claimed he is innocent and he didn't understand why he was detained, The Guardian reports. The rapper shared the details of his detention to his 5.8 million Instagram followers.

"We getting sweated by the police right now," he said in one of many videos he made during the arrest. "This muthaf---er right here sweating me," the rapper continued.

Snoop Dog's car was pulled over on July 25 by cops carrying out roadside controls after they suspected that he and his entourage were high on drugs. They were brought to Uppsala for further investigation and were released after a urine test.

In the second video, Snoop Dog claimed that he was at the back of the police car and was pulled "for nothing." He said all he did was perform in the country and then he ended up in the police station, New York Daily News reports.

On his social media account, the rapper also posted a photo especially dedicated to his Swedish fans. He captioned the picture with: "It's always a few d---s that f--- it up for everybody its been real thank you Jah bless!! F--- the police!"

It was not the first time that Snoop Dog was arrested over marijuana possession. In July 2012, he was not permitted to enter Norway after he was found guilty for carrying 8 grams of marijuana.

Although the rapper is claiming that his arrest was a case of racial profiling, Swedish idol judge Alexander Bard claimed that it was not so; rather, it was a case of "celebrity profiling." The judge added that they are covering manhunt for celebrities who are making the headlines for drug use.
