News : Snoop Dogg Arrested In Sweden, Calls Out "Racial Profiling
With singles like “Smoke the Weed,” Snoop Dogg was inevitably going to be pulled over by the cops. But we never expected the veteran rapper would get arrested in Sweden! Yet somehow, the hip hop star was having “Ain’t No Fun” in a Swedish jail this weekend.
After performing for fans in Uppsala, Sweden, Snoop was pulled over for what he originally says was an unknown reason (authorities would later explain they believed he was driving under the influence of narcotics). In one of a series of Instagram videos he says, “We’re getting sweated by the police… they sweating us right now for nothing!” In the background you can hear Snoop’s entourage repeatedly ask what exactly they have that’s worth arresting them for, but no one answers.
Snoop is clearly annoyed that he’s done “nothing” and was brought down to a police station to “pee in a cup.” The drug test proved he was clean, as he repeatedly said he was. That’s why he believes he was “profiled, racially profiled.”
“I’ll never be back in this country,” he tells fans in the video. “Y’all can thank y’all police chief and all the people [who] run y’all police department.” We hope he doesn’t keep such strict rules if he ever gets pulled over stateside!
However, other people think it's a "celebrity profiling" incident, and not a racially charged occurrence. According to Billboard Idol Judge Alexander Bard has stated it's not uncommon for law enforcement officers to pull over celebrities hoping to catch them doing what they're stereotyped to do. The Swedish appear to be losing their "war on Drugs" and the cops are sorely fishing for something. A couple of years ago Justin Bieber's tour bus was pulled over for similar lack of reason to Snoop's. The Grammys were also raided, with multiple people having to pee in cups after being inspected without reasonable cause for suspicion other than the fact that a lot of them were famous or associated with famous people.
