Police say Atlanta-based rapper and actor T.I. and wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottle have been arrested in West Hollywood on drug charges.
Los Angeles sheriff’s deputy Mark Pope says the arrests for possession of a controlled substance came late Wednesday night during a traffic stop, when officers smelled alleged marijuana smoke coming from their Maybach luxury car.
He says the 29-year-old T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., and Cottle, a 36-year-old singer, were booked at the West Hollywood sheriff’s station and bail was set at $10,000.
Pope says he’s not sure if they were still being held early Thursday morning.
T.I., who has a key role in the current top box office movie “Takers,” was released from a federal prison in Arkansas in December after serving several months for illegal firearms possession and possessing a gun as a convicted felon. He remains on probation on those charges.
This is a shame….they have young kids to take care of and T.I. just got out. SMH!

Cee-Lo’s new song/video “F**K You” is hilarious. In a nutshell, it is about a boy who gets overlooked by the girl he is crushing on. Throughout the years, he still can’t seem to get her attention. In the end he gets the revenge he was looking for.
