It’s not the first time however, the rapper is being arrested over drugs. In 2017, he was placed in a rehab to help him recover from drug addiction but was later, in the company of his four friends, arrested and put under police custody with experts running tests on the drugs to determine their type.
So it turns out that even after Chidi Benz was arrested for being in possession of Heroin in Ilala where he was chilling with 6 of his friends, the guy is finally out.

According to a couple of Tanzanian Tabloids, the fella is currently walking around free and what’s more surprising is that he was not found with any drug in his blood after running a drug test!

So does this mean it was all a set up? Well could be as he is planning to release a new song pretty much soon. Speaking during a recent interview with Showbiz Extra… Chidi Benz seemed too reluctant to talk about the issue. When asked how and why he was arrested he responded by saying;
Kuhusu hilo nina ushauri kutoka kwa mama watoto wangu kwamba nisilizungumzie zaidi. Lakini kwa ufupi ni kwamba mtu kukamatwa na dawa za kulevya ni sawa na mtu aliyekamatwa na bangi, mirungi ama chochote kile ambacho kinaonekana kuvunja sheria za nchi! Kwa hiyo nisiingie huko sana lakini jambo la msingi ni kwamba vijana wa Kitanzania wasijaribu na wanaotumia dawa za kulevya waachane nazo, siyo nzuri zaidi wajenge taifa kwa manufaa ya kizazi chetu.
