Kurtis Blow has hit up Twitter After reports of the star being detained and charged for smuggling weed in his crotch started circulating. On Twitter, Blow denied reports of being arrested for marijuana.

“What is this I hear bout me being busted for weed at the airport? Not true. Isn’t weed legal in California? Tmz is bugging.,” Blow tweeted Thursday (December 2).

“I got about 500 new followers today. I wonder why lol” (Kurtis Blow’s Twitter)

Reports of Blow’s alleged drug bust hit the Internet Thursday afternoon.

TMZ has learned … legendary rapper Kurtis Blow was busted at LAX this morning after a TSA body scanner detected an item in his pocket … a stash of weed. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the body scan detected “an anomaly’ in his pants — yes, we thought that was funny as well. A subsequent pat down revealed pot in his pocket. Kurtis received a ticket — standard operating procedure when it’s under an ounce — and went on his merry way. These are the breaks … next time Mr. Blow, try the pat down. (TMZ)

Here is the ironic part:
A spokesman for the L.A. airport police tells E! News that Blow (real name Kurtis Walker Combs) submitted to a TSA security screening at approximately 5:45 a.m. and underwent a body scan that discovered an, um, anomaly. TSA agents subsequently administered a pat-down and turned up a baggie of the green stuff. As is typical in these cases, since the amount found was less than an ounce (28.5 grams to be exact), authorities confiscated the pot (wonder who’s taking that home?) and issued the hip-hopster a misdemeanor citation. (E! News)

hmmm…Could Kurtis be lying? Or is this just the case of a bad rumor being spread?
