Lee, whose real name is Khalif Malik Ibn Shaman Brown, was arrested during a traffic stop in Biloxi, Mississippi, around 3:30 a.m., Harrison County Sheriff Troy Peterson told the Sun Herald.
Peterson said a deputy sheriff pulled Lee over for a traffic violation and smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle. A search of the vehicle allegedly turned up less than an ounce of marijuana, Peterson said.
