Snoop Dogg was pulled over and arrested in Sweden on Saturday night — and claims racial profiling was behind the whole mess.

“We getting sweated by the police right now,” he said in an Instagram video posted Sunday showing when cops initially pulled him over.

The rapper turned the camera on the policeman’s face and said, “This muthaf—er right here sweating me.”

You could clearly hear Snoop’s entourage in the social class asking why they were being pulled over with one saying, “What do we have?”

Swedish authorities proceeded to place the Long Beach, Calif., rapper in the back of a police cruiser to take him to the precinct.

“They got me in the back of police car right now in Sweden cuz,” Snoop said in a second video documenting the incident and sharing with his 5.8 million Instagram followers.

“Pulled a n—- over for nothing. Taking us to the rank where I gotta pee in a cup for nothing,” he continued. “I ain’t did nothing. All I did was came to this country and did a concert and now I gotta go to the police rank.”

The 43-year-ancient rapper then posted a photo from his concert with a message to his Swedish fans.

“2 all my Sweden fans U can blame YA police dept for never considering me again in your gorgeous country,” he wrote. “It’s always a few d—s that f–k it up for everybody its been real thank you Jah bless!! F–k the police. And I’m still smokin.”

“In the police rank doing a report on me cuz,” he said looking directly into the camera. “Profile, racial profile. Came and snatched me out my car, brought me down here. I’m in Sweden right now. It’s all good though. Sorry about that peoples I’ll never be back to ya’ll country. It’s been real.”

The rapper was arrested by Swedish police on suspicion of using illegal drugs, police said, according to The Guardian.

“Police carrying out roadside controls noticed that Snoop Dogg (whose car was pulled over) seemed to be under the influence of narcotics,” police spokesman, Daniel Nilsson, of the central Uppsala region said in a statement. “He was arrested and taken to the police rank to take a urine test.”

“The incident lasted several minutes,” Nilsson added. “Once the test was carried out he left.”

After his release, Snoop updated fans with one final video with the heading: “Message to my fans n fam!!”

It continued: “What up this is Snoop Dogg. I know a lot of ya’ll are concerned about me. I made it through. They took me down there, made me pee in a cup, didn’t find s—. No case. No nothing. But like Minister (Louis) Farrakhan say, ‘It’s better to be searched and not found with nothing then not to be searched at all.’ F–k ya’ll!”

In January 2012, Snoop was arrested in Texas for marijuana possession during at a border patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca. Agents reportedly found half an ounce of weed wrapped in several joints inside a prescription pot that was found in a trash can in the back of the bus. Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., admitted the marijuana belonged to him.
