Hip hop maestro and rap superstar, 30 Bob, from Milnrow Rochdale, was arrested last week on drugs charges we can exclusively reveal.

In a statement he told us:
“Aye, I got caught like. But we rappers are right bad uns’. It were only a matter o’ time really. These things ‘appen. Like when I got a cap in me arse last year.”

He was no doubt referring to the incident in Heywood last year when a group of teenage girls forced the rappers own baseball hat into his rectum.

“Well,” the self-titled Microphone Ninja explained, “that’s what they said ‘appened, but they’re trying to wreck me street cred, innit.  Tell it t’ ‘and cause t’ face in’t listening.”

Police say that the rapper, whose album ‘Da Fug Life’ is released next week, had repeatedly claimed to be in receipt of ESA on prescription forms to avoid paying.

“Drugs charges is drugs charges innit like?”

He faces a fine of up to £100 plus the original price of prescriptions.

His local rival Poop Poodley Poodle was also arrested on drugs charges recently after stealing two packs of Imodium from the Co Op in Oldham.
