Rapper Snoop Dogg is to appear in court in California after being charged with drugs and gun offences.
The 35-year-old star could face up to four years in prison for being a convicted criminal in possession of a gun and the transportation of marijuana.
The musician was arrested in October after a gun and drugs were found in his car at Burbank Airport.
In March he was forced to cancel a UK tour with P Diddy after authorities refused him an entry visa, BBC informs.
He was also held by police in Sweden last month on suspicion of using illegal drugs, but was later released after questioning.
In January Snoop Dogg denied a charge of possessing a deadly weapon after a collapsible baton was found in his luggage as he boarded a flight to New York.
At the time of his arrest at a California airport, he claimed the baton was a film prop.
He was arrested for a third time after police allegedly found marijuana, cocaine and a firearm in his vehicle.
