10 Biggest Weed Busts In Hip-Hop

1) Kareem “Biggs” Burke

After seeming to disappear after the Roc split up, Kareem (Biggs) Burke, Jay-Z’s former business partner and co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, was arrested on October 15^th, 2010, along with almost 50 other people for allegedly conspiring to distribute more than 100 kilos of weed, according to the Manhattan U.S. Attorney, during a federal drug sting called “Operation Green Venom,” targeting a wholesale marijuana ring in New York and Florida. The Feds reportedly seized nearly $2 million and more than 260 pounds of chronic during the bust. The government said that a raid on Bigg’s residence in New Jersey produced the remains of a marijuana growing operation and $15,000 in cash. On March 16^th of this year, Biggs pleaded guilty to marijuana distribution charges and could face up to six years in prison at his sentencing, scheduled for May 18, 2012.  Real talk, we didn’t even think Biggs smoked.
