Rapper Lil Wayne may have ended his beef with LeBron James, but the DEA is another matter.

Weezy was briefly detained and searched by Drug Enforcement agents when he flew into Opa Locka Airport in Miami this past Wednesday, DEA spokesman David Melenkevitz said.

Both his plane and person were searched but nothing was found so he was released, Melenkevitz said.

Wayne, who keeps a home in Miami, spent much of 2010 in prison at Rikers Island in New York for weapons possession. He was placed on felony probation after his release this past November.

Earlier this month, the Young Money CEO attended a Heat-Pacers game at the AAA where he apparently buried the hatchet in his ongoing feud with James and Dwyane Wade.

Wayne had complained publicly that the two didn’t personally greet him before tipoff. A head nod from James to Wayne apparently cleared up the animosity.
