No drugs were linked to 'As Long As You Love Me’ hit maker, RadarOnline.com has been told.
Lil Za, real name Xavier Smith, has been staying at Bieber’s Calabasas, Calif. mansion for months. He was snapped on video by local media being escorted by two officers from the property -- watch it below -- in cuffs.

Police executed the warrant after the 19-year-old was accused of costing his neighbour $20,000 in damages.
It’s alleged Bieber threw at least 20 eggs at a house in his gated community in Calabasas, Calif, last Thursday.
Video footage has been released in which the neighbor can be heard shouting, "I see you. I f**king see you!" before a boy, who is allegedly Bieber, responded, "F**k you! I got another one for you, actually!”
Cops were searching for searching for anything involved in the incident, such as physical evidence, recordings or egg residue.
Said one Bieber source: "It’s just over the top to send a dozen cop cars to someone's house because of someone allegedly throwing eggs from his property at his neighbor's house. Justin respects the judicial system, but is this really the best use of the very limited resources of the sheriff's department?” questioned one pop star pal.
