It’s possible to the understand the fit of Bruno’s cap if you can imagine having a chart-topping song and a felony hanging over your head.
“Bruno Mars should be having the best week ever: He has the No. 1 song in America, his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, was released this week and his 25th birthday is on Friday.
But while singer-songwriter-producer has much to smile about, at the same time, his success is being tainted by a recent felony charge.
Mars was arrested last month for allegedly possessing 2.6 grams of cocaine after performing at a Las Vegas nightclub. He’s due in court Nov. 18 and if convicted, he faces up to four years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
But some industry experts believe the drug charge won’t do much harm to the singer’s rising career.
“I don’t think he meant it to come off that way, but his recent arrest shows that he has a little bit of edge I suppose,” said Craig Marks, the editor of Billboard.”

The sad part is he is probably right. I doubt he gets the 4 years; but what if he runs into a judge in an election year who is trying to show he is tough on drugs; he throws away 4 years of his life to show consumers he has edge. That is that bullshit
I used to think that coke was so taboo, till I got to college and errr’body was usin it. Coke is the new marijuana. I still won’t fuck wit it though. Especially when aggins are facing felony charges for possession. DAMN
Man, i may need to try this shit. It’s like Cocaine is the new…Cocaine!
damn they’re wild with these drug laws out in the southwest. 4 yrs for 2.6 grams?!? that’s crazy.
“Told em that on 101 don’t get caught wit no hard!” -Jeezy
Bruno Mars is Wildin Cuz He Young. I’m hearing hella people doing coke now. It’s so accessible to these rich ass people that I’d be more surprised for people who didn’t do it.
I don’t fux with that shit tho. Ain’t worth doing time over.
according to kid cudi he does the coke to take the edge off lol naw nigga is wilding lol nobody listen to the late great rick james cocaine is a hell of a drug
highly doubt any judge will send him to prison period. He’s clean from what we know…no prior criminal offenses.
and he did confess to officers that he acted recklessly.
From what Ive learned delving into my criminal justice major, I think a stern warning and probation will be in the works for the talented singer.The album is pretty dope by the way. Lazy Song is my shit right now…haha.
“Cocaine is a helluva drug”
