Vic Mensa has been reportedly arrested by U.S. Customs Agents this weekend after allegedly arriving at an airport with illicit mushrooms in his possession.
The news arrives two years after Mensa was arrested in January 2020 for carrying brass knuckles, Complex reported. After pulling the rapper over in Glendale, California for making an “unsafe turn” on his motorcycle, police frisked Mensa, at which point they discovered a pair of brass knuckles in his pants pocket. Mensa was booked on a charge of felony possession of brass knuckles. He was later released after posting a $20,000 bond.
According to TMZ, the Chicago rapper arrived at Dulles International Airport outside of Washington, D.C. on Saturday after flying from Ghana. Mensa was arrested when officials determined he was in possession of Psilocybin mushrooms, which are classified as a Schedule I narcotic under federal law. The 26-year-old was arrested and charged with felony drugs possession.
“the feds are still testing the substance they allegedly found to confirm it is what they think it is”, a source told TMZ.
Mensa took the trip to Ghana with Chance the Rapper and other Chicago-based artists in an effort to promote tourism in Africa. The two rappers took to Instagram on Friday to post identical pictures of them hanging with President Nana Akufo-Addo. “FREE THE YOUTH,” they captioned their respective photos.
