Afroman has run into some legal trouble while at the Canadian border, and it should come as no surprise that the issue involves Cannabis.
The “Because I Got High” rapper ran into a bit of a snafu when he was trying to cross back over to the United States on Tuesday (June 20), with U.S. Border Patrol sources telling TMZ that Afroman and his crew were detained while trying to cross over the St. Lawrence River in upstate New York.
When they entered the inspection zone, law enforcement officials discovered $10,000 worth of cash and some marijuana lotion and gummies that Afroman told TMZ he forgot to hide. The rapper was held for 5 hours at the border and was fined $500 for the lotion, along with his DJ who was fined $500 for the gummies.
