After his release, the rapper posted on Instagram "I'm Good" and said he was heading back to the U.S.
He was with NBA star James Harden at the time of his arrest but the basketball player, who was searched on the street by police, wasn't arrested or suspected of any crime.

The duo posted on Instagram pictures from their outing in Paris. In one of them, they were joined by Lewis Hamilton.
The British racing driver also dropped by Eiffel tower while in the city. "A city that inspires. Where should I visit while I am here?" so he asked his online followers.
