Drake Confirms He Was Detained In Sweden
Drake Confirms Run-In With Swedish Police
Drake made controversial headlines last week with reports that the Hip Hop superstar has been arrested in Sweden for illegal possession of cannabis.
According to Scandinavias biggest hip-hop platforms, Drake and his bodyguard have been arrested in Sweden, Stockholm during a private party at the nightclub Berns.
The rapper’s team initially denied the rumors regarding his supposed arrest with a statement that read, “Drake is at his hotel room and has not been arrested.” Philip Lewis added saying: “FYI: I talked to Swedish police and they told me Drake is currently not in their custody. (That was the only info they would give.”

But it turns out Drake had at least some kind of run-in with Swedish authorities, although the details behind the interaction haven’t been divulged. On Sunday (July 17), Drizzy shared an Instagram post comprised of multiple photos, including a document from the Swedish National Police Board.
The document is titled “Information for Those Suspected of a Crime and Subsequently Detained,” which suggests Drake was detained but never arrested. It went on to explain Drake’s rights, similar to the Miranda Rights used in the United States.
Drake’s rights included: “know what it is you are suspected of and why you are being denied” and “receive the aid of a defense attorney who under certain conditions can only be paid by the state” as well as “receive food and rest as needed” and “receive the assistance of an interpreter during interrogations as needed.”
The alleged police interaction took place at a Swedish club as Drake was partying the night away.
