"It was really upsetting not being able to see an artist I looked up to for a really long time."
The Clayton Police Department said officers were called to the Ritz-Carlton on Carondelet Plaza around 10 a.m. Saturday for a disturbance.
Police said guests were complaining about the smell of weed coming from his room. The Ritz said they asked him to open a window and air it out.

"It's all hearsay, so you never really know what really happened," one fan said.

Those who came to see the artist did get a full refund.
