Wilmington rapper Nino Breeze was arrested on a federal marijuana charge just before Christmas, shocking fans and raising questions about the ongoing crackdown on independent hip-hop artists.
Wilmington, North Carolina rapper Nino Breeze, known for his gritty street anthems and underground following, was reportedly arrested on a federal marijuana distribution charge just days before Christmas in 2024.
The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into illegal trafficking and distribution operations. Federal officials allege that Breeze was involved in the transport and distribution of large quantities of cannabis, violating federal narcotics laws. The specific weight and details of the alleged operation have not been publicly disclosed, but sources indicate it was significant enough to warrant federal charges rather than local prosecution.
Fans were stunned by the timing, as Breeze had recently teased new music and appeared to be focused on growing his independent career. Many took to social media to show support, while others criticized what they see as continued targeting of Black independent artists by federal authorities.
This arrest adds to a growing list of rappers facing serious legal trouble in the final months of 2024, prompting broader conversations about the blurred lines between music, authenticity, and real-life consequences.
As of now, Nino Breeze’s legal team has not issued a public statement. More details will be shared as the case develops.
