Lil Pump, who is due to make his Australian debut at FOMO festival in January, has reportedly been arrested after being accused of bringing drugs on an airplane.
TMZ reports that the 18-year-old ‘Gucci Gang’ rapper and his team were kicked off a scheduled flight from Miami to LA on Thursday, after Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents allegedly flagged a bag of theirs which supposedly “smelled like weed”.
While no drugs were reportedly found in the bag (which belonged to a member of Pumps’s team), Pump and his manager were allegedly arrested after responding in a “disorderly” way to the plane’s captain accusing them of bringing drugs onboard.
Pump and his manager entered not guilty pleas through their attorney, according to court documents seen by TMZ. The rapper appears to have since been released by police, and has been posting rap videos to his Instagram story.
In September this year, Lil Pump told fans he was going to jail for “a couple months” after violating his probation in California, but he is still expected to make it to Australia for FOMO.
In November, Pump performed an impromptu gig on top of a tour bus after one of his shows in the UK was evacuated due to multiple “smoke flares” being discharged.
