Wiz Khalifa, who rapped in "See You Again" which was included in the official soundtrack of the blockbuster film "Furious 7," was cuffed at Los Angeles International Airport reportedly because he refused to listen to a police officer's order.
The incident happened over the weekend. The 27-year-old rapper arrived at LAX from a concert in Finland when the officers busted him for refusing to get off from his hoverboard, Reuters reported.
Khalifa shared a post on his Twitter account about the incident stating, "Haven't been slammed and cuffed in a while. That was fun."
He posted another snap showing the cops pinning him down, while his hands were cuffed. The post was captioned, "They love sayin stop resisting."
He also posted a video showing he was surrounded by the authorities. Khalifa attempted to move forward, but the cop in front of him was blocking the way. He captioned the video post, "All because I didn't want to ditch the technogy everyone will be using in the next 6 months. Do what you want kids."

A source from the law enforcement told TMZ that the rapper failed to comply so he was detained, but was eventually released. He reportedly apologized, and the authorities said he will not be facing any charges.
The media division of Customs and Board Protection sent a response to CBS Los Angeles' request for comment. In the statement, CBP said that all travelers arriving to the United States are subject to inspection.
It was indicated on CBP's statement that for everyone's safety, passengers must follow the instructions from the officers during the inspection. It additionally stated that if there is an uncomplying passenger or any disruptive behaviours present could place others at risk.
CBP is prevented from discussing any specifics of the cases due to the privacy law.
