Rapper Lil Wayne and his managed Mack Maine were apprehended by authorities in Saudi Arabia, and accused of weed possession.
Saudi Arabia takes marijuana use VERY seriously, and Mack Maine is rumored to be currently incarcerated in Saudi Arabia.

Lil Wayne is the latest celebrity to have been locked up in Saudi, over drug charges. Last year Future’s DJ was held in Saudi for nearly 3 months – for weed possession.
