James Harden is in Paris for Fashion Week, but he has made headlines for another reason recently, due to an incident with the police involving rapper Lil Baby. However, it seems as though James Harden in particular did not face any charges or detainment.

The pair were stopped in Paris by the police. The police found 20 grams of marijuana in Lil Baby’s car, a substance that is illegal in France. While Lil Baby was arrested, the French police ended up letting James Harden go, though he was frisked beforehand.

While some states in the U. S. have legalized recreational cannabis, the situation is definitely different when it comes to consuming cannabis abroad. While the full extent of the initial situation wasn’t clear from the video, an article by ESPN News Services provided some more details on the detainment of Lil Baby and James Harden.

French media reports said that the Brooklyn Nets star, who’s been seen around Paris with Kanye West and Lil Baby, was on the street when a car was stopped after police smelled cannabis.

Harden was apparently nearby and tried to intervene and was stopped, but was let go. Video shared on social media showed Harden being briefly frisked in the incident on one of the French capital’s most elite avenues.

According to reports, police said they found 20 grams of cannabis, a substance that is illegal in France, in the car.

It looks as if Harden did nothing wrong, and was simply trying to help his friend out when the latter was detained by the police. Laws around cannabis are definitely stricter outside of the United States, and hopefully, this situation can get resolved sooner rather than later. It is in one’s best interests to follow other nations’ laws when in their territory, and this seems to be the latest example of why.
