In 2018, the police stopped a concert where Mosele performed. Several people, including Mosele, were arrested.[10] The arrest took place after he allegedly shouted "" from the stage.[11] Among other things, cocaine was found on the Mosele during the incident. After initially refusing a summons of NOK 12,000, he was sentenced in Kristiansand district court on 23 September 2020 to pay a fine of NOK 8,000 and NOK 2,000 in court costs.[12]
