Nipsey Hussle was arrested Wednesday in Burbank, CA after police found a bottle of codeine in his car during a traffic stop, according to LA Times.

Nipsey was pulled over on suspicion of traffic violations at 11:20 p.m. Officers discovered he had an outstanding warrant for driving with a suspended license.

But that’s not all they discovered.

With Nipsey’s consent, police searched the “Checc Me Out” rapper’s vehicle and found bottle of codeine without a label as well as a soft drink and a cup of ice. These ingredients are used to make Lean.

Lean, often called “Sizzurp” or “Purple Drank” has its origins in the South after Houston producer DJ Screw popularized the beverage.

Lean, when induced, provides its user a sedated feeling. Long-term use can have deadly side effects.

DJ Screw was found dead Nov. 16, 2000 in his studio following an overdose from a combination of Lean and drugs. A toxicology report found codeine, Valium and PCP in his system.

Nipsey was arrested on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance as well as for the outstanding warrant. He was released after posting $1,000 bail.
