Wiz Khalifa has been arrested for cannabis possession

The `Black and Yellow` rapper was busted by cops in North Carolina after the officers pulled over his tour bus following his concert in Winston-Salem on 01.05.12 and discovered 11.39 grams of marijuana after searching the vehicle, according to TMZ.com.

The Forsyth County Sheriff`s Office has revealed Wiz was cited for possession of a controlled substance and then released and he now must appear in court to face charges at a later date.

This is the second time in 10 days Wiz - who is engaged to model Amber Rose - has been found in possession of cannabis.

The 24-year-old hip-hop star was cautioned for the offence by police after he was discovered in a hotel room on April 21 smoking a joint following complaints from other guests.

Although Wiz - real name Cameron Jibril Thomaz - tried to get rid of the evidence by throwing the drug-laced cigarette out of his window before letting the police in the officers recovered the joint and the musician then confessed to having another 3.7g of marijuana in his pocket.
