Rapper Vic Mensa has just confirmed that he has been freed from custody, after he was arrested with some drugs at the airport on his way back from Ghana.
Taking to his official Twitter handle on Tuesday, he tweeted saying:
“i’m freeeeeee love you all god works in mysterious ways,” he said.
The Chicago-born rapper Vic Mensa, whose real name is Victor Kwesi Mensah, was arrested Saturday at Dulles International Airport, where agents allegedly found liquid LSD and psychedelic mushrooms in his bag during a secondary screening, US Customs and Border Protection officials said Monday.
Mensa, 28, had returned to the Virginia airport on a flight from Ghana at about 7 a.m. Saturday. Customs officers then found roughly 41 grams of liquid LSD in his baggage, along with 124 grams of psilocybin capsules, 178 grams of psilocybin gummies and 6 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, officials said.
Mensa was arrested at the airport on felony narcotic possession charges, CBP officials said. He remained in custody without bond early Tuesday at Loudoun County Adult Detention Center, jail officials told The Post.
Mensa, who released his debut studio album “The Autobiography” in 2017, was returning from Africa following a trip with Chance the Rapper. Mensa posted a photo of the pair alongside Ghana’s president, Nana Akufo-Addo, on Friday.
Mensa had travelled around Africa for weeks to promote tourism, TMZ reported.
Later Friday, Mensa shared photos on Instagram of himself decked out in a suit while saying he looked “presidential.”
