Rapper arrested on drug charges
US rapper Lil' Wayne has been arrested on drugs charges after he was stopped at a border checkpoint in Arizona, authorities said.
The 25-year-old was arrested after federal agents allegedly found drug paraphernalia, cocaine and ecstasy on the bus he was travelling on.

The rapper - real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr - spent the day in a county jail before being released on bail.

He was not formally charged and is due to appear in court on Friday.

The bus, with 12 people on board, had been travelling east from California.
