American rapper Snoop Dogg, who was most recently briefly arrested for possession of marijuana by Swedish police, has vowed never to return to Sweden as he feels he was racially profiled by the cops.

The 42-year-old rapper told Swedish fans that he would he will never be back to their country and it's been real, the Guardian reported.

According to a police spokesman, cops pulled over the rapper's vehicle because he seemed to be under the influence of narcotics and was arrested and taken to the police station to take a urine test.

He was released after a urine test, whose results are not yet known.

After his release, Snoop took to Instagram, where he said he was arrested because of racial profiling.

Snoop Dogg has repeated convictions for possession of marijuana, and form for taking it to Scandinavia. In July 2012, he was banned from entering Norway for two years after being found in possession of eight grams of marijuana, as well nearly 18,000 pounds of Norwegian currency.
