American singer Chris Brown is reportedly under police investigation for smoking Indian hemp while performing in Ghana last week, the show he brought Wizkid onstage to perform with him.

According to the allegations, half way through Chris's impressive 90 minutes performance, which saw him use excessive vulgar language, Chris Brown had quizzed the over a thousand crowd, ‘How many of yall smoke weed?’

After that question, the singer stated: ‘If anybody tripping on ya’ll smoking weed, f— them.’

‘S—, I got my blunt right here’ he added and pulled out a neatly rolled stick of weed which he smoked on stage, pissing off a lot of Ghanaians, got them yelling till the Police heard.

Here's what the statement released by the Ghanaian police says:

    The Police have commenced investigation into the formal complaint of Indian hemp smoking made by the CEO of POS Foundation, Mr. Jonathan Osei-Wusu on 6th March 2013 at the Ministries Police station against the popular American RnB artist Chris Brown.
    Section 5 of narcotic drugs [Control Enforcement and Sanctions] Act, 1990 PNDCL 236, stipulates that “a person shall not, without lawful authority or excuse, smoke, sniff, consume, inject into the body or otherwise administer a narcotic drug on the body of that person.

    We wish to state that all persons, whether visiting or native who does an act in contravention of the above-quoted Act shall be dealt with in accordance with the law.

    In the case of Chris Brown, a docket has been opened, and we would want to assure the good people of Ghana that the police will do everything possible to get to the bottom of it. Meanwhile, we are calling on the public to exercise patience, in the interest of due process and in respect of the rule of law, and provide the police with relevant information in support of the due process.



However, the Executive Director of Charter House, Theresa Ayowade, denied the allegations and described the offense as “an act from a song”:
