500 lbs of Marijuana Found on Fabolous' Tour Bus
Arkansas Police seized nearly 500 lbs of marijuana on a tour bus returning from NBA All-Star Weekend in Phoenix, this week. According to the driver, the bus was allegedly escorting Fabolous to Boston to pick up "a rapper whose name he couldn't recall."

Musicians Getting Busted
Although Fabolous hasn't been arrested, police pulled over a tour bus alleged to be his, and promptly pulled almost 500 lbs. of marijuana out of it. The driver and the sole passenger both claim Fabolous loaded the cargo on the bus in Phoenix and told the driver to meet him in Boston. Police may still be on the lookout for an accomplice carring a half-tonne of Twinkies.

Though Fab was not on the bus at the time of the seizure, the two men who were arrested, Edward Thimas, 52, and Robert Morris, 44, claimed that Fabolous had loaded the marijuana into the locked compartment, as well as close to $6,500 in cash, which the police also confiscated.
Though both men agreed that the marijuana belonged to Fabolous, according to the police reports, their stories conflicted regarding the pickup of the drug shipment.
Thimas claimed that Fab had told them to drive the marijuana to Boston and contact himself and "the other rapper" when they arrived, to pick up the shipment. Morris, on the other hand, alleged that they had driven "three rappers from Atlanta to Phoenix," and were transporting the drugs to Boston, where they were meeting the rappers, who had flown ahead.

The decision by Switzerland’s biggest bank, UBS, to hand over details of a few hundred US clients to the US authorities has shocked the Swiss banking community, and led many to the conclusion that the days of Swiss banking secrecy are now numbered.
KAWS LA OPENING
With much anticipation the new “The Long Way Home” exhibition by Kaws opened tonight at Honor Fraser gallery in Los Angeles. Thanks to Supertouch we get a first look at the works of the show. Next to several Kaws Chompers character toys, as well as the infamous Kaws head sculpture, the artist heavily worked on the smurf theme in his latest exhibition. The entire exhibiion consists of new works by the artist, that for sure impressed visitors and fans. Totally expected, the entire show is long sold out.
The Kaws exhibition in Los Angeles at Honor Fraser will be opening tonight. To celebrate the occasion, last night Royal/T hosted an exhibition and pop-up store with the artist. The exhibition was curated by Kaws and showed works by himself and other artists. Also they hosted an Original Fake pop-up store, which was selling some nice product that recently came out, as well as a t-shirt especially created for the evening.

CLOUT Magazine Issue No. 11 featuring Todd Bratrud

Having come off a campaign with Volcom last year as well as a project alongside Nike, Bratrud’s artwork is unmistakably trademarked with his use of reptilian pin-up girls amongst vibrant backdrops. Along with their 11st issue, CLOUT will also be producing a limited edition tee featuring that very same cover art, tweaked Bay Area style of course. More information behind CLOUT Graffiti Magazine can be found at their official website.
