Don't expect to see Sean Paul Get Busy any time soon - the reggae star got himself arrested for possession last night at a Swedish reggae festival!

Wait... Swedish reggae festival? Really? Well, okay...

Anyway, X17 is hearing that Sean Paul and several other artists were searched by police and arrested for drug possession after performing at the Uppsala Reggae Festival last night.

The cops were really intent on catching the rude boys red handed, too - they even sent police dogs to Sean Paul's room at the First Hotel Linne to check for contraband!

The First Hotel Linne's manager declined to comment on the situation to X17. Calls to Sean Paul's manager have not yet been returned.

What do you think - are these charges gonna stick Like Glue?



We'll keep you posted!

Blacks mean trouble. Sorry but where theres blacks there is violence. Violence is all they know. The more they kill, the better. The only good black is a dead black.

im frm Sweden, and firts, why lol cant ppl in Sweden like reggae? (i dont though) that is so typical for americans to say that, stupid.

The reggae festival is Skandinaivas largest, with visits frm all nordic countries and other. The festival includes several international reggae bands.

It didnt say anything here in the Swedish newspapers abt WHO was caught, just that over 50 persons and several of them was artists/bandmembers, and one bandmember was smoking cannabis backstage. And in most cases it was abt cannabis.

Every sort of drug possession is illegal in Sweden.
Over 10% who lives here in Uppsala is black or mixed. So it's not because of his colour. Even some polices are black here.

Im teaching you. Well, u cant be everywhere. We´ll se if they got busted to. (Its me 12:55.)

Swedish police is a joke. Busta Rhymes hotel got raided when he was here, he was wrestled down by the police and some of his friends were taken in.

Why? Because the policemen who were spying at them thought he had "smelled something funny".

Not only Sean Paul was arrested, but 9 more artists... and almost 300 non-artists. Yes. Just for weed.

Yeah, Sweden is probably known to be a kind of open society with freedoms... But that's not the reality.

I guess the swedish police has nothing better to do than going around arrassing and arresting ,had working civillian.Is that how 'you' make your guess feel welcome?I didnt know finding traces of marijuana in your system,makes you guilty of possesion;CAN WE SAY BOUYCUT?!THAT'S WHAT ALL ARTIST NEEDS TO DO TO SWEDEN!

UPPSALA REGGAE FESTIVALS LINEUP KICKS THE SHIT OUT OF MOST FESTIVALS EVEN IN EUROPE.

WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO IS TRYING TO SCARE AWAY THE ARTISTS FROM PERFORMING HERE SO THAT THE FESTIVAL CANT BE DONE. HOPE IT DOESNT WORK FOR THEM. AND HOPE TO SEE AN EVEN BETTER LINEUP NEXT YEAR.

THIS YEAR WAS AWESOME.

THEY DON"T wanna rastafarian-jamaican culture to spread in Sweden.This is unofficially but they have a right to preserve their own culture.Marijuana lowers IQ and Haile Selassie was a dictator.Rastafarianism is a pure religion and is backward.Dancehall is a music of criminals or rasta preachers - Sweden authorities are educated people to concern about their youth just as in England there was legal sanctions about acid raves.It's not the same but it's more negative culturally for europeans then opposite.Reggae can't inspire nothing serious it is music and its culture must be taken with lot of scepsis.







This part is optional!
