Popular rapper Snoop Dogg was arrested by the Police in Sweden after he gave a concert on  Saturday night.

In a series of video communiques through Instagram, the rapper ranted away on how he was arrested on the suspicion of using illegal drugs and that he had to undertake a urine test.

Through one the clips, he said, "On my way to the police station in Sweden, sorry about that, all the fans in Sweden, I'll never be back in this country.

"You all can thank your police chief and all the police that run your police department. It's been real, thank you but I'm gone."

Snoop Dogg also accused the cops of racially profiling him and claimed that he was 'snatched' out of his car.

"In the police station, doing a report on me because, profile, racial profiling. They came (and) snatched me out of my car, brought me down here.

"(They've) got me in the back of a police car in Sweden, pulled a n**** over for nothing, taking us to the station where I've gotta pee in a cup, for nothing, I ain't did nothing, all I did was came in this country and did a concert."

A police spokesman, Daniel Nilsson explained that the rapper "seemed to be under the influence" and that was the reason why he was taken to the station.

He said in a statement: "Police carrying out roadside controls noticed that Snoop Dogg (whose car was pulled over) seemed to be under the influence of narcotics. He was arrested and taken to the police station to take a urine test. The incident lasted several minutes. Once the test was carried out he left."
