A well-known Japanese rapper ambiguously termed as 'XG' was taken into custody on suspicion of cocaine possession. The arrest occurred amidst a crackdown on narcotics, signaling the state's determination to address drug-related issues within the entertainment industry. Details regarding when and where the arrest took place and the amount of cocaine found have yet to be disclosed.

Drug-related allegations in Japan are considered serious crimes and are met with strong social condemnation. Celebrities who get involved in these issues often face severe backlash and career implications, with the public and the media watching eagerly for proper legal repercussions. This signifies Japan's stringent attitude towards unlawful matters, particularly narcotics.

While drug offenses are dealt with seriously in the US and EU, the overall approach and the severity vary across states and countries. While celebrities involved in such cases might face public criticism, they usually manage to bounce back into their career trajectories after a while. The Japanese entertainment industry, however, has seen many careers curtailed permanently as a result of such incidents.
