LATEST: Rapper WARREN G has protested his innocence over his weekend drug possession arrest, insisting he had nothing to do with the marijuana found in the car he was travelling in.
The Regulate hitmaker - real name Warren Griffin III - and his friend Ryan Butler were pulled over by cops in Hollywood in the early hours of Sunday (09Jun08) after they ran a red light. Police found a large stash of the drug and arrested both men for possession and intent to sell.
The pair has now been released on $20,000 (GBP10,000) bail - but Warren G claims he is not the guilty party.
His representative tells website TMZ.com, "They were in the Hollywood area for Kanye (West)'s party. He was a passenger asleep in the front seat when the car was pulled over.
"Whatever was found wasn't his, it was in the car."
