Warrant out for Wiz Khalifa's arrest over marijuana charge
- Published
There's a warrant out for Wiz Khalifa's arrest after he didn't turn up to court over a marijuana charge.
The rapper was supposed to appear in an El Paso court on Wednesday after he was accused of possessing cannabis.
Online records show the 26-year-old didn't come to the scheduled hearing, so Judge Ricardo Herrera issued a warrant for his arrest.
The musician was stopped in May at El Paso International Airport when security found marijuana on him.
He had just appeared at a music festival in Texas.
Khalifa, whose real name is Cameron Thomaz, was then arrested, charged and released on $300 (£178) bail.
On the same day he was due in court, Khalifa posted a picture advertising his pre-album launch party on his Instagram page.
