Rap-Up.com || Bruno Mars Busted for Cocaine Possession, Mug Shot Revealed

Following his arrest early Sunday morning in Las Vegas, Bruno Mars was all smiles in this newly released mug shot. More details have emerged on the “Just the Way You Are” singer’s run-in with the law.

Though it was previously revealed that he was busted for narcotics possession in the bathroom of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, TMZ has learned that the hitmaker was in possession of 2.6 grams of cocaine, discovered on his person after security guards confronted him.

Bruno was released shortly after his arrest, heading down to Texas to do radio promo. “Texas is dope! Im in dallas rite now looking foward to meeting some folks @ the radio stations. tune in for a special live performance,” he tweeted.

The setback comes amidst a busy promo schedule for Mars. He will release his debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans on Oct. 5, followed by his tour kickoff with Maroon 5 and OneRepublic, and his “SNL” debut on Oct. 9.

Every artist is on drugs when they make music or every artist is on drugs when they’re in the studio, touring/ promoting. It’s just a fact. You got to be superman for that promotional role. Repeating the same answers; getting the same questions. You think they are high on life to be that perky? Its not an excuse, but its fact. Ever since the Johnny Cash, Elvis, Motown Eras’ it’s been that way! Not to mention for an artist to express the pain or get in the zone to create on a level of a professional. Get a hint people!

^ To say EVERY artist is on drugs when they make music is a ridiculous statement. There are plenty out there who don’t need drugs to function.

Take it from someone thats been in the lime light… when you hav a busy schedule or hav been around enough celebritries you know that to party you hav to do cocaine to stay up, or sober up. Not to mention the poor boy was in las vegas cocaine heaven! Why do you think they call it the city that never sleeps.. Cause everyone that still up past 2am probablly did a bump or few lines!

KIDS DONT DO DRUGS!

There is a whole hell of a lot of artists out there that don’t do drugs while they make there music; for instance, Eminem, Beyonce, Trey Songz, and all that jazz.. so don’t be thinkin that there ALL on drugs. Cause there not. And yeah, Bruno did make a mistake. Smh. But there’s always room for second chances. He does need help, and he needs it right away.

February 21st, 2011 at 2:08 pm
OMG I love bruno soooo much it isn’t his fault
Mabey there is a reason to all this if u just listen
To his new song Grenade I think it gives all
The answers the music video shows bruno dragging
A piano to sing his heart to his girlfreind’s house
But on the way he see’s a gang troubling him and
And goes through a lot of pain this shows dat he would
Do anything for her but when he reaches her house
He sees her with another man then he drags the heavy
Piano all the way to the train station a goes
To a train track and kills himself which he actually says
In the song ‘I’d jump infront of a train for ya’
Mabey this is true mabey he took drugs coz he was
Heartbroken and upset. Or mabey he just wanted to
Become a better singer and be like the superstars
Like elvis presley or michael jackson. lots of celebs
Do this they think it helps them but it don’t. And has
Any1 realised he’s not dat goodloking as he used
To be hotter than fire :D lol.the cocaine must of really
Messed him up poor bruno I hoped he understands now
But stop saying dat like u people have not done
Anything wrong man I bet at least one u’s done something
Even worse than taking cocaine idiots. Nobody’s perfect
Btw I hope bruno is reading my comment lol I’m upsest sexy
Man
