Rapper Wiz Khalifa has been handcuffed by police officers at Los Angeles Airport for allegedly refusing to get off his hoverboard.

The 27-year-old rap star, whose real name is Cameron Jibril Thomaz, took to social media to share a video of the bizarre incident at the airport in Los Angeles.

In it, he refuses to disembark from his hoverboard and is then apprehended with several officers standing over him and his face laid down with his arms behind his back.

Haven't been slammed and cuffed in a while. That was fun.

Khalifa captioned the video: "3 cops yell stop resisting. Only thing to do is let em know. I'm not resisting, I'm doin what I want. (sic)"

In the clip, the officers can be heard telling the See You Again hitmaker to stop resisting their efforts to restrain him and Wiz replies: "I'm not resisting, sir. I'm not resisting. I'm not resisting, sir."

Khalifa, who is due in New Zealand for a Vector Arena show on September 25, also posted another clip of the confrontation, showing him being stopped by officers while he's stood on his hoverboard.

He told them: "You can't do nothing anyway. What're you going to do put me into jail because I'm not going to listen to what you say?

"You can't do nothing, you can talk and have all the conversations that you want to. You can end up on TMZ. You guys could be as famous as you want to be."

They love sayin stop resisting. pic.twitter.com/v2tdOOikMy

He later took to Twitter to joke about the incident, suggesting police would soon be using hoverboard technology for their jobs.

What's even funnier than them not bein able to do shit is they'll be riding them soon as well. Maybe ones I design. https://t.co/ITTewi2NzZ
