Justin Bieber's live-in friend Lil Za has been charged with felony possession of Ecstasy and oxycodone, stemming from his January arrest after a police raid at the "Baby" singer's home.
The aspiring rapper, 20, whose real name is Xavier Smith, has also been charged with a felony for breaking a jail phone while in police custody, TMZ reports. If convicted on all counts, Lil Za could face up to nine years in jail.
Los Angeles police served a search warrant at Bieber's mansion on Jan. 14 related to an alleged egg assault on the pop star's neighbor's house.

Lil Za had Ecstasy, which police originally thought to be cocaine, "in plain view" of the deputies that conducted the raid. Police said he admitted that the drugs were his, while Bieber came up clean in the search. Meanwhile Bieber appears to be enjoying the Super Bowl festivities in New York despite his own recent run-ins with the law.
The ‘Boyfriend’ singer (right) has been caught in a whirlwind of his own, after being arrested and charged with DUI, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license in Miami.
The "Boyfriend" singer was seen partying at the Maxim magazine party on Friday night, just hours after being held at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport on suspicion of smoking pot on his private jet.
The Canadian pop star was charged earlier in the week with assaulting a limo driver in Toronto from an incident in December, and before that the singer made headlines after being arrested for driving under the influence, with an expired license and resisting arrest on Jan 23.
He pleaded not guilty to those charges and his formal arraignment is set for Valentine's Day.
