The spokesman said the troubled singer was being questioned at an east London police station.
Scotland Yard said a 24-year-old woman attended a police station by appointment and was arrested over the possession of drugs.
It said the arrest was in connection with a video of the star passed to police in January.
On January 22, a newspaper published pictures apparently showing the Rehab singer smoking crack cocaine.
Footage obtained by The Sun appeared to show her inhaling fumes from a crack pipe after a 19-minute drugs binge.
The star was also shown apparently snorting ecstasy and cocaine and admitting downing six Valium.
A spokesman for the singer said: "She is being questioned in a police station. We will be releasing a statement later."
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: "Around 1pm today a 24-year-old women from the Camden area attended a London police station by arrangement and was arrested in connection with the alleged possession of a controlled drug.
"She remains in custody. This is in connection with an investigation connected to footage passed to the Metropolitan Police on January 22."
