The Norwegian media are reporting that rapper Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, was briefly detained at an airport in Norway after entering the country with marijuana and a large amount of cash.

The Customs officials could not reveal his identity according to their laws, but did say an American artist was caught with marijuana by a drug-sniffing dog.

A customs officer who wished to remain anonymous said that person was also carrying way more cash than is legally allowed and was fined 52,000 kroner ($8,600) for the violations.

Snoop is in Norway to perform at the Hove Festival festival in the southern town of Kristiansand.
