Drake Shares Unseen Footage Of Him Being Detained By Swedish Police

Drake has shared previously unseen footage of his run-in with Swedish authorities last summer.

In an Instagram post recapping some of his favorite moments from 2022, the Canadian hitmaker shared a video of him being detained by police officers in the Scandinavian country.

A voice off-camera can be heard asking: “Who’s in charge here?” while Drake, wearing a bright red tracksuit, is escorted into a police car by two cops.

“The funds are useful / The lyrics are truthful / The suspects are usual / The opps are delusional / The finish line is beautiful / And the disrespect is mutual,” Drizzy captioned the post. “See you in 23.”

The OVO Sound founder was reportedly arrested on marijuana-related charges on July 14 while partying in the Swedish capital of Stockholm (weed is illegal in Sweden).

The rapper’s team initially denied the reports, claiming he was at his hotel and had not been detained. HuffPost senior editor Philip Lewis added on Twitter: “I talked to Swedish police and they told me Drake is not currently in their custody.”

However, Drake himself somewhat confirmed the news days later when he shared a document from the Swedish National Police Board on Instagram. The document was titled “Information for Those Suspected of a Crime and Subsequently Detained,” which suggests Drake was detained but never arrested.

It went on to outline his rights while in custody, including: “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.”

Drake later referenced the incident on Her Loss, his joint album with 21 Savage. “Swedish jail cell smellin’ like some Carby Musk,” he rapped on “Middle of the Ocean,” plugging his luxury scented candle in the process.

Drake’s 2022 recap also included photos of him posing next to 21 Savage from their Her Loss rollout, meeting boxing legend Mike Tyson, playing basketball while on vacation and standing next to a mystery woman.

The last photo in the 10-part slideshow captures Drizzy partaking in one of his favorite pastimes — high stakes gambling — from the comfort of his swanky Toronto mansion.
