Rapper Vic Mensa, 28, was arrested Saturday after U.S. Border Officials at Washington Dulles International Airport found an assortment of illegal drugs in his luggage.
Mensa had just arrived on a 7 a.m. flight from Ghana, a statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection said. The rapper had been traveling around Africa with Chance the Rapper to promote tourism. In the second investigation of his bags, they found around 41 grams of liquid LSD, about 124 grams of psilocybin capsules, 178 grams of psilocybin gummies and six grams of psilocybin mushrooms, the statement added.
Mensa faces felony narcotics possession charges and is in the custody of the police.
“Narcotics interdiction remains a Customs and Border Protection enforcement priority and we remain committed to working closely with our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to ensure that those who transport illegal narcotics into the United States are investigated and prosecuted,” Daniel Escobedo, Area Port Director for CBP’s Area Port of Washington, D.C said in the statement.
Mensa grew up in the Hyde Park neighborhood in Chicago. He was a part of the band Kids These Days from 2008 until they split in 2013. Mensa released his solo debut album The Autobiography in 2017 and has collaborated with high-profile musicians such as Chance the Rapper, Pharrell and Kanye West.
