During his set at Sunny Hill Festival in Kosovo this weekend, Action Bronson did what he always does during concerts, interviews, and other public appearances: He paused to light up a joint.
The Kosovo police weren't happy. After Bronson lit up the joint, took a few puffs, and flicked it into the crowd, he was reportedly arrested at the venue.
According to TMZ, Bronson either posted bail immediately or came to another agreement with Kosovo police, because he has already been released.
The 34-year-old Queens rapper has been an outspoken advocate of marijuana for years. During a panel about the business of weed at ComplexCon 2016, Bronson told the crowd, "I've been high for 20 years. It got me through a lot of times. I'm an only child, so I'm very creative. I have to make things up in my life, like a friend here or there. Weed helps. It enhances everything with imagination in life and art and creation." Watch the full video at the top of the page.
Earlier this year, Bronson did admit one casualty of heavy marijuana consumption, though. He cut off his signature beard after trying out a particularly strong strain.
"I was high out of my mind—it was this new strain," he told Hot 97. "I never have clippers in my house for this reason. I usually call somebody to come help me out and come do that. I just started trimming and it went bad, it went awry. I tried to give it a fade, I tried to make it slim. I couldn’t stop, and then I ended up looking like Hulk Hogan in the face. It was just a bad move."
