Snoop Dogg was briefly arrested on suspicion of using illegal drugs in Sweden, an incident he documented through a series of Instagram videos.
On Saturday, the rapper was stopped by police after performing in Uppsala, Sweden, and after he was pulled over he started filming to document what was happening as well as express his thoughts. He was not happy about it.
“Police carrying out roadside control noticed that Snoop Dogg [whose car was pulled over] seemed to be under the influence of narcotics," Daniel Nilsson, a central Uppsala region police spokesman, told the Guardian. "He was arrested and taken to the police station to take a urine test.”Shortly after, Snoop found himself in the back of a police car “for nothing,” according to an Instagram video. He vowed to never come back to Sweden again, because of how he was treated by the police.
After he arrived at the police station, Snoop accused the Swedish police of racial profiling.He took a urine test and left the police station soon after, Nilsson said. The entire thing took several minutes and the test results weren’t immediately available.A few hours passed before Snoop updated his fans on the situation. He was no longer in police custody and a lot calmer—although he’s still not happy about how he was treated by Swedish police.
“They took me down there, made me pee in a cup, didn’t find shit,” Snoop said. “No case, no nothing.”
