Lil Wayne always seems to find himself in the middle of trouble. The rapper and 11 people traveling with him were detained on Friday evening after U.S. Border Patrol officers (aka Hip hop police) found marijuana on two of his tour buses, authorities said.
Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, and the other folks were questioned and released. The case was referred to the Brooks County Sheriff’s Office.
A sheriff’s spokeswoman told The Associated Press that she could not comment. The tour buses were stopped in Falfurrias, about 80 miles southwest of Corpus Christi, where the rapper is scheduled to perform Sunday night. Lil Wayne played in Hidalgo on Thursday. A few minutes before the doors were to open for his show in Laredo on Friday, it was announced that the show was postponed. A marketing manager for the venue told the Corpus Christi Caller-Times that it would be rescheduled.
A drug dog initially detected the odor of narcotics on one of the buses, the CBP said in a news release. Marijuana was found during secondary inspections, the agency said.
The rapper pleaded guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon in a New York case, a charge that stemmed from a 2007 traffic stop of his tour bus. His plea deal calls for a year in jail in that case. He is set to appear for sentencing in February.

@Lil Wayne
You are a celebrity. Meaning, when you go some where all eyes are on you. Therefore, please keep all illegal materials off of your tour bus, out of your cup (we know what the fuck you got in that damn cup…and lawd knows you ain’t coughed in years), and if your homeboys got something around them tell them to stand no less than a hundred feet away from you. Take this common sense (which obviously you don’t have) as if it were legal advise cause I’m getting tired of hearing about yo overly tatted ass once again in some legal trouble.
