The Queens rapper was arrested for lighting a joint on stage while performing at Sunny Hill Festival.

Stateside fans of Action Bronson know exactly what to expect when the Queens rapper-turned-burly-Bourdain hits the stage; delectable food raps, the occasional suplexing of an unruly fan, and weed. All the weed.

After all, Bronson's a borderline Snoop-status figure in the cannabis community. It made him a prime prospect to host a slew of VICELAND programs (one of which solely revolves around the premise of getting high with friends and collaborators while watching Ancient Aliens against a green-screen.) It's also endeared him to countless others as a charming, yet surprisingly functional, stoner.

But the rapper's kush-kissing antics did not sit well with local Kosovo authorities, as he was arrested and detained on-site following a performance at Sunny Hill Festival last night, where he sparked a joint and shared the bounty with his audience, tossing it to the crowd, according to TMZ.

A spokesperson for the police department has stated that Bronson's already been released. The buzz, however, could not be saved.
