Wiz Khalifa Nabbed For Riding Hovercraft In LAX Airport; ‘Not Resisting’ Against Police Arrest
Wiz Khalifa's fondness for his hover board and using it in inappropriate places got him in trouble at the Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday.
According to The Verge, the rapper was handcuffed and forced to face the ground by police at the LAX as he is alleged to 'refuse to dismount on his hover board' that actually refers to a two-wheeled scooter that has been a favorite accessory among celebrities lately.
In the video posted on Wiz Khalifa's Twitter and Instagram, it can be heard that the police told the rapper to "stop resisting" repeated several times while they arrested him. The rapper, on the other hand, did not resist and replied, "I'm not resisting sir, I'm not resisting."
The 27-year old rapper sounded not affected with the incident at all. After posting the video, he tweeted, "All because I didn't want to ditch the technogy [sic] everyone will be using in the next 6 months. Do what you want kids."
"I stand for our generation and our generation is gonna be riding hover boards so if you don't like it eat a dick!" he added.
The rapper, whose real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz, posted another video on Twitter showing him walking between two police officers after they handcuffed him, CBC News said.
From their voices, the rapper tried to defend himself saying, "I didn't do nothing. What you want to do? Put me in jail because I didn't listen to what you say?"
In an interview with Jaime Ruiz, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman, it was learned that the rapper was handcuffed but not arrested as a part of the custom's role to maintain order in the airport and protect fellow passengers.
In their statement, the US Customs Border Protection (CBP) explained their part to USA Today saying "CBP officers are conducting their critical national security mission while facilitating the entry of legitimate travelers. An uncompliant passenger or any disruptive behavior could put many at risk in this highly secure area. Privacy laws prevent CBP from discussing specific cases."
