Hip-hop star Lil Wayne was arrested in Boise, Idaho, on a felony fugitive charge after authorities in Georgia accused him of possessing a controlled substance, Boise authorities said.

The 25-year-old rapper, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., was arrested after his Friday concert at Qwest Arena and booked into the Ada County Jail. Because of the type of charge, he was not eligible for bail and probably wouldn't get out to make it to his scheduled Saturday night concert, authorities said.

Carter is scheduled to be formally charged Tuesday and will be asked then if he plans to waive his extradition to Georgia, a jail deputy said.
