Poor 2 Chainz. First he gets robbed in San Francisco (except maybe possibly not, depending on how reliable you believe his tweets are), and now he’s in trouble with the law in Los Angeles.

The rapper born Tauheed Epps and formerly known as Tity Boi was arrested for possession of marijuana and Promethazine (a key ingredient in sizzurp, or lean). The drugs were found in his checked luggage and Los Angeles International Airport, and Chainz was escorted off the plane to get booked.

This is Chainz’ second drug-related arrest this year. Back in February, Maryland State Police detained him for marijuana possession after pulling over his van. (He was ultimately found not guilty.) He should probably commit those TSA guidelines to memory, because he’s going to be spending a lot of time on the road this summer as part of the America’s Most Wanted tour, which features Lil Wayne, T.I., French Montana, Hit-Boy, and G-Eazy.

Maroon 5 have officially accomplished the rare feat of having not one but two singles in the Top 10 of Billboard‘s Hot 100 this week.

Although their smash “Payphone” is on its way down after peaking at No. 2 (this week it dropped from No. 5 to No. 7), their followup “One More Night” has wasted no time ascending the upper tiers of the chart. This week “Night” jumps 15-9, following major gains at radio and 170,000 additional downloads.

The two hit singles are driving album sales for the band’s fourth album Overexposed, which grew 59 percent to 36,000 copies this week — a $3.99 sale on Amazon also boosted sales substantially — and moved from No. 11 to No. 5 on the Billboard 200. The disc has moved 450,000 copies after eight weeks on the chart.

We’ll find out if “One More Night” can climb one spot higher than “Payphone” in the weeks to come, but for now, let’s check out the week’s other chart winners and losers below:
