Longtime Busta Rhymes hypeman, Spliff Star, was arrested in Sweden on Sunday (May 11) on suspicion of drug possession.

According to the Associated Press, the rapper (real name: William Lewis) was taken into custody early Sunday after performing alongside Busta Rhymes in Stockholm.

A police spokeswoman said authorities found an unidentified substance in his hotel room. However, Busta's room was also searched, but nothing was found.

Spliff was released on Monday (May 12) after providing a urine sample that would be tested for drugs.

If found guilty, the rapper faces fines or up to six months behind bars for breaking strict Swedish drug laws.
