Your support makes all the difference.Professor Green has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving after police were called to reports of a robbery in south London.
The 29-year-old musician, whose real name is Stephen Manderson, was taken into custody and questioned at a police station before being bailed to return later this month.
According to The Mirror, the rapper called police after being mugged for his Rolex watch.
Officers attended the incident at around 2.40am on Sunday, and arrested the star after finding that his car had been involved in a crash.
Scotland Yard said: "The suspected driver of the car, a 29-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and taken into custody at a south London police station.
"There were no reports of any injured parties. Inquiries into the robbery and the collision are ongoing."
The Independent has contacted Professor Green's representatives for comment.
The musician, who married Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh earlier this year, announced in September that he would be postponing his tour.
He wanted time to finish his new album after his schedule was disrupted by a car accident.
Professor Green said at the time: "Everything was on schedule and then I was unfortunate enough to end up sandwiched between two cars leaving my health and album/touring schedule in absolute jeopardy."
