Future's DJ Was Jailed 56 Days In Dubai
. (Radio.com) A dream vacation for Future's DJ Esco turned into a nightmare, after weed he'd purchased the night before in Amsterdam sent him to jail in Dubai for 56 days. In an extensive interview with The Fader, Esco told the incredible, terrifying story of his imprisonment. 'We're at the end of the Europe tour, and it's my birthday, and we're in Amsterdam, so we're gonna celebrate! I got the weed," Esco explained. 'But I'm not trying to walk around with all this weed, you feel me? I was not intentionally trying to bring weed to Abu Dhabi. And if I would have known the rules and laws they got over there, I would have quadruple checked my bag and made sure there wasn't a piece of weed. I swear I would have." The trouble started when a police officer accosted him for filming in the airport, and then demanded to check his bags. He said the officers found weed, though Esco claimed he didn't know it was in there--though still, he figured he'd just be sent back on the plane, no problem. That's not what happened. Esco ended up in jail, denied even a lawyer for weeks. Things only changed after he managed to befriend the prison warden. Read more here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
