Senior Chinese pop singer Man Wenjun has been taken into custody by Beijing police on drug offence.
The Beijing Times reports that Beijing police raided a nightclub near the Workers' Stadium early Monday morning after receiving an anonymous tip-off, where they found illegal drugs in Man's VIP-room.
The star, celebrating his wife's birthday with friends, was tested positive for a banned substance.
His wife and friends were also taken into custody by police for using banned drugs.
Further investigation is now underway.
Man, 40, is considered to have a unique style within China's often fickle and fancy pop scene. The star gained his fame in 1996 for his song 'I Understand You All the Time'.
He was awarded an environmental ambassadorship in china in 2008 for producing songs relating to the environment.
In 2007, Chinese pop singer Xie Dong was also arrested for taking drugs.
