Hip-hop star Fabolous is at the center of a drug scandal after Arkansas police discovered a large stash of marijuana on a tour bus reportedly belonging to the rapper.

Authorities pulled over the coach for a traffic violation last Tuesday and a search of the vehicle uncovered 496 pounds of the illegal substance on board, as well as $6,452 in cash. The driver of the tour bus and his only passenger, both from Georgia, claimed the drugs belong to Fabolous and another unnamed rapper.

They allege the Trade It All hit-maker, real name John Jackson, and his associate loaded up the bus in Phoenix, Arizona, where they had attended the NBA All-Star Weekend, and instructed the driver to phone on arrival in Boston, Massachusetts. The two men, identified as Edward Thimas, 52, and Robert Morris, 44, are currently being held in custody after giving police conflicting reports of the timeline of events.

A spokesperson for Fabolous had yet to return a comment as WENN went to press.
