Russian rapper Navai, whose real name is Navaи Bakirov, was detained in Kazakhstan on October 13 at the Korday border checkpoint on suspicion of drug smuggling. Authorities found 2.5 grams of marijuana in his vehicle, leading to his arrest and detention in a pre-trial detention center; however, the criminal case was later discontinued due to non-rehabilitating grounds, and Navai was deported from Kazakhstan. He was subsequently released from custody and returned to Russia.
