TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police have arrested Irish rapper Rejjie Snow for allegedly spraying graffiti in Shibuya Ward early Wednesday, reports TV Asahi (Sept. 5).

At just before 3:00 a.m., Snow, 26, whose real name is Alex Anyaegbunam, allegedly sprayed the graffiti on a wall at the Mark City shopping and office complex near JR Shibuya Station.
