Madonna's 16-year-old son Rocco Ritchie was reportedly arrested in a drug bust in London late September after his neighbours called the cops on him. Rocco, the son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie, was found with cannabis.
Sources told the Sun that the teenager was spotted tossing something away as police approached him in Steeles Mews North, Camden, and when they found traces of cannabis on his clothes they searched him and found drugs. Rocco was arrested on September 28 and was later released on bail.
Earlier this year, Rocco was at the centre of a custody battle between his parents following a disagreement with his mother back in December 2015. Rocco refused to travel with his musician mother during her Rebel Hearts tour, and this forced her to launch legal action in the US and UK seeking custody of her son. Following months of disagreement on where their son would live, the exes finally decided to let the teenager continue living in London.
Sadly, Rocco is not the only celebrity child who has had issues with drugs. Find below a list of famous kids who have battled drug addiction.
