Wiz Khalifa caused quite a stir when he was arrested for possession of marijuana in Texas back in May. While in custody, he took a selfie that threw his fans into a tweeting frenzy, spawning the trending topic #FreeTrapWiz.
The MC was eventually released hours later, but after he missed a scheduled court appearance earlier this month an El Paso judge issued a warrant for his arrest.
Numerous outlets, including MTV News, reported on it and Khalifa even made light of the situation telling Hot New Hip-Hop to “stop snitching” on Twitter.
In actuality, Wiz isn’t worried at all.
“It’s taken care of, but I’m not really speaking on it too much because it’s not the story of my life,” Wiz told MTV News on Sunday, when we caught him in Detroit right before he took the stage for his Under the Influence of Music Tour. “Nobody has to worry about me going to jail.”
That’s good news, because on August 19, Wiz will release his third major label LP Blacc Hollywood. Fans who can’t wait can listen to the entire album right now on Wizkhalifa.MTV.com.
