Snoop Dogg- real name Calvin Broadus- has been arrested near Los Angeles on weapons and narcotics charges after taping a performance at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno - his third bust in as many months.
A spokesman for the Burbank Police Department said authorities executed a search warrant as Snoop Dogg and a posse of friends and bodyguards were leaving the NBC studio.
The search turned up marijuana, cocaine, a firearm and a false compartment in a car, said spokesman Sergeant Kevin Grandalski.
The 34 year old Rapper was booked, and bail set at $US60,000 ($A76,672.42).
In October, police arrested Snoop Dogg at Burbank Airport after they found a gun and marijuana in his car.
He was booked and released on $US35,000 ($A44,725.58) bail pending a hearing on December 12.
Earlier this month, he surrendered to California police to face charges of possessing a deadly weapon - a baton he tried to carry on an airplane at Orange County John Wayne Airport in September.
He posted $US150,000 ($A191,681.04) bond and was released.
Snoop Dogg, who has a previous conviction for cocaine possession, made his recording debut in the early 1990s as a gangsta-rap protege of Dr Dre but has turned his focus to acting of late, with a string of recent films including a role in a remake of the hit show Starsky and Hutch.
