Mercury Prize winner Dizzee Rascal has been arrested for allegedly carrying pepper spray, police have confirmed.

The 20-year-old rapper was a passenger in a car stopped by police in east London on Wednesday.

Dizzee Rascal, whose real name is Dylan Mills, was arrested along with the 34-year-old driver.

"They were both taken into custody at an east London police station and they were later released on bail to return on April 8," said a police spokesman.

"The driver, a 34-year-old man, was subsequently arrested for being in possession of a section five firearm - pepper spray - and an offensive weapon, which was an ASP baton, and cannabis.

"A 20-year-old male passenger was also arrested for being in possession of pepper spray."

Three other men in the car were searched and released.

hahahaha i'm sorry this is just...wow. Considering the last couple days w/ 50 and Game etc. this seems like such a bizarre "Who cares?" incident. Is it really illegal to possess pepper spray in the UK?!

"The maximum penalty for carrying pepper spray is 10 years in prison.

Dizzee shot to fame with his first album, Boy In Da Corner, which was full of tracks about gun crime, gangs and drugs."

Its funny because pepper spray is not a very macho weapon. It is more like something a girl carries to defend herself. I would say to get arrested for carrying pepperspray is pretty embaressing.
