Snoop Dogg had some trouble with the police in Sweden. The rapper was pulled over at a traffic stop, and when cops suspected he might be high, they hustled him in for a urine sample test.
The traffic stopped took place in Uppsala, Sweden. Snoop Dogg had given a concert in the area. The police in Uppsala told the Guardian, “Police carrying out roadside controls noticed that Snoop Dogg seemed to be under the influence of narcotics. He was arrested and taken to the police station to take a urine test. The incident lasted several minutes. Once the test was carried out, he left.”
But Snoop Dogg was livid. He started shooting video when the traffic stop happened, and continued shooting clips of video as he rode to the police station, while he waited for test results, and again after he was released and back in the United States.
“They took me down there, made me pee in a cup,” Snoop said in one video clip. “Didn’t find shit, though.”
“I ain’t did nothing. All I did was came to this country and did a concert and now I gotta go to the police station,” Snoop insisted. “Profile, racial profile. … like Minister Farrakhan say, ‘It’s better to be searched and not found with nothing than not to be searched at all.’ F**k ya’ll!”
The captions on his Instagram video posts reflected his frustration and anger at being taken in by the police.
“2 all my Sweden fans U can blame YA police dept for never seeing me again in your beautiful country. It’s always a few d***s that f**k it up for everybody its been real.”
“On my mamas im sick and tired of the pigs. N America n these countries that jus don’t respect us fuck that new me new u u do we do 2”
Some of his Instagram posts are on the general topic of racial profiling and police brutality.
“Racial profille is a everyday thang we have grown accustomed to it. Nfl. Not for long”
