Rapper Yung Filly pleaded guilty to cannabis possession just days after he was allowed to fly back to the UK.
Police caught the British performer, whose real name is Andres Barrientos, with more than half an ounce of cannabis at Greenfields, about 70km south of Perth, in May this year.
The matter was heard in the Mandurah Magistrates Court on Tuesday, where Mr Barrientos, 31, did not appear – instead entering a written plea of guilty.
He was fined $750 and ordered to pay court costs of $308.
An order was also made to destroy the drugs.
Mr Barrientos was found in possession of drugs while he was on bail in Western Australia.
The Mandurah court heard how the social media star with millions of online followers was found guilty of assaulting a 20-year-old fan after a Perth gig that involved biting and leaving an open wound on her.
He has not been sentenced.
Last week, a judge allowed Yung Filly to return to the UK where he resides.
