Award-winning rapper C Jamm was arrested for habitually smoking marijuana, police said Monday.

The signer, 25, whose name is Ryu Sung-min, was caught with seven other musicians, including rapper Shin Dong-ryul, also known as BILL STAX.

Police said C Jamm is suspected of having smoked marijuana “many times” at his home in Seoul ― alone or in a group ― since May 2015 and he reportedly admitted it in recent questioning.

C Jamm jumped to stardom in the domestic hip-hop scene in 2016 after seizing second place in the popular TV hip-hop audition program “Show Me The Money 5.”
