The rapper, who was not in court, was sentenced to two days’ community service and told his charge would be dropped if he avoids trouble for six months.

Cudi, 26, was arrested on June 11 after a police officer discovered the drug in his trouser pocket, reports BBC News.

He is due to appear in court on March 23, 2011.

The rapper is currently preparing to release his second album, ‘Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager’.

The follow-up to 2009’s ‘Man on the Moon: The End of Day’ is due out next month.
