Popular British rapper Fredo, born Marvin Bailey, has found himself entangled in a legal battle in Dubai after being apprehended for possession of cannabis. The 29-year-old artist, known for hits like "Toxic Trait," now faces the prospect of fives years in prison in the United Arab Emirates with their stringent anti-drug laws.

Fredo's legal troubles began in September when he was allegedly caught concealing drugs during his time in Dubai. The artist has reportedly been held in a Dubai jail since the incident. The United Arab Emirates, where Dubai is situated, maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy regarding illegal substances.

Possession of even a small quantity of illegal drugs in Dubai carries severe consequences, with a minimum three-month and a potential three-year prison term. In Fredo's case, there are reports suggesting he could face a five-year sentence.

The rapper has already been to court, and it is reported that he is currently appealing the proposed five-year prison sentence. The legal process in Dubai is known for its strict adherence to the law.

The rapper may also be subject to a fine and a permanent ban from re-entering the United Arab Emirates.
