“Darius swore he was clean for years, and now this has people thinking he needs help to get back on track!” a tipster tattled to the National Enquirer .
RadarOnline.com has reached out to Rucker’s rep for comment.
RadarOnline.com broke the story — cops say that when they pulled over the three-time Grammy winner in February 2023, an officer “smelled a strong odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle” and a search of the car revealed a bag containing 14 unstamped purple pills in a jar and a THC pen — and then Rucker handed him a marijuana blunt!
