Another Dumb Rapper Gets Himself Arrested: Wiz Khalifa

Tuesday, November 9, 2010

Yesterday, I had no clue who rapper Wiz Khalifa was until he came through my city and performed live at Masquerade on saturday.

That’s when I asked celebrity photographer Prince Williams about him. Prince explained everything: how he’s considered the next Snoop Dogg (because of his affinity for weed); and how he has a large underground cult following (mostly white college kids).

This morning I awakened to the news that Khalifa was arrested in Greenville, North Carolina for what else: drug possession.

According to MTV.com, a Pitt County Detention Center spokesman confirmed 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 this morning around 8 a.m.

A bail that huge means he was caught with a ton of weed that he was possibly growing — not your average carry around joints for personal use.

The 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.

Khalifa obviously failed to take heed to Bow Wow’s warning — that the cops are monitoring the Internet.

Khalifa’s last tweet before he was arrested was: “smoke outs in greenville nc tonite. fall thru wit ur finest plant life”

The weed heads weren’t the only ones who fell through last night.

According to MTV News, Khalifa recently boasted about having a $10,000-a-month weed habit and he launched his own brand of rolling papers last month.

Hopefully, Khalifa can still monitor his business ventures from behind bars where he will be for the next couple of years after he’s sentenced.
