Tory Lanez Detained for Weed at Las Vegas Airport

by

Tory Lanez was busted for weed in Las Vegas over the weekend.

The “Say It” singer was stopped at the airport on Sunday morning after TSA allegedly found marijuana in his possession. While attempting to board a flight, a TSA agent discovered a “large” amount of weed in one of his bags, according to TMZ.

TSA temporarily detained him, but eventually let him go. Marijuana is legal in Nevada, but it’s still not legal federally and you can’t get on a plane with it. An investigation is ongoing, so it’s possible he could be cited, although it is unlikely.

Tory was able to turn his run-in with the law into a payday. After he seemingly missed his outgoing flight, he booked a gig at Drai’s on Sunday night, which he promoted on Instagram.

Last month, Tory was taken into custody after violating his protective order in the Megan Thee Stallion felony assault case. His bail was increased from $250,000 to $350,000. He has pleaded not guilty to assault and weapons charges and a trial is set to begin in September.

Meanwhile, Tory continues to release new music. On Friday, he debuted his remix to BIA and J. Cole’s “London,” the latest in his Fargo Fridays series.

Playboi Carti’s Set At Smoker’s Club Fest Was Reportedly Cut Short When Fans Rushed The Barricades

Playboi Carti shows are known to get a little rowdy. As a member of the so-called “SoundCloud Rap” movement of the past decade, the Atlanta rapper has blended certain punk sensibilities with his nihilistic, aggressive performance style, resulting in a general vibe of recklessness and mosh-pit antics at his live shows. However, in the wake of a certain recent festival tragedy, venues and promoters have proven much less forgiving of this sort of energy — as recently demonstrated by a recent festival, San Bernardino’s Smoker’s Club Fest.

According to the New York Post, Playboi Carti’s evening set was cut short when members of the crowd tried to jump the barricades to the VIP section just two songs in. The crowd also pushed forward, causing a potentially dangerous scene in the front of the audience much like the infamous incident at Astroworld Festival last year. However, unlike that situation, the festival’s organizers were able to get control of the chaos, cutting Carti’s mic and urging the audience to back up or the show wouldn’t continue.

A number of fans expressed their disappointment in the situation, but I’ve seen toddlers pitch fits over being stopped from touching hot stoves, so kudos to the fest’s organizers for getting a handle on things before they could escalate to injuries or worse. Check out more videos and fan responses below.
