As the day progresses new details regarding the arrest of T.I. and his wife Tiny have begun to surface. According to TMZ, the couple was initially suspected of possessing marijuana in their vehicle when pulled over by the police last evening. However, the officers discovered something much worse upon further inspection of the couple’s belongings: methamphetamines and ecstasy. Check out more details below & images of the arrest:
“Tiny” was taken to a separate squad car — both were transported to a local Sheriff’s station.
As we first reported, cops pulled over T.I.’s ultra-expensive Maybach on Sunset Blvd around 10:18 PM for a traffic violation and then smelled marijuana. During a subsequent search of the vehicle, cops say they found a controlled substance — we’re told it was not cocaine. The class of the controlled substance that was found includes methamphetamines and ecstasy.
Both were booked on felony possession of a controlled substance. {Source}

Meth has to be the nastiest drug of them all; they are trash for even fucking with that. Disgusting, the way meth ruins your looks is probably explanation of Tiny’s mug & her mumbled ass vocabulary.

before we jump to conclusions let’s just see what the outcome will be and what the facts are. Clearly i give TI more credit than this so…im interested in seeing what this is about. I mean he’s on probation he couldnt possibly think this was kool.
DAMN SHAME!!!

People need reading and comprehension classes. TMZ said the drug they had on them falls in the same class as meth and ecstasy not that it was meth and ecstasy. Meaning there are a group of drugs that belong to the class which may or may not be meth and ecstasy. The cops aren’t saying which specific drug was found.

Just like Rickey Smiley said this morning”discretion,discretion,descretion”.You got Black people riding around in a Maybach smoking weed and then on top of that estasy and Meth was found in the car! Tiny has been arrested before for having estasy and weed I think,this is definitely not a good look!

WTF? Seriously T.I.? How stupid do you have to be to even have BS like that in your possession KNOWING you are a target being that you are ALREADY a felon and just got released from prison? Really?
I was actually siding with him during his previous encounter with the law, his possession of weapons, but this shit right here don’t make any sense! Damn! He and Wayne are some dumb mutha f*ckas! Geez!
At least we know why Tiny looks and sounds like she does.

Come on T.I. there’s always a chance any of us can be stopped while driving, how could you be so STUPID. Drugs are for losers anyways!!!!!!!! You probably just sentenced yourself back to prison for being STUPID and Tiny you should know better. Forget that “down for my man” crap, you have to be smart for yourself and your kids.

How in the hell waas it a set up?! Niggas. I swear..TI is just a stupid hoodrat with money. And Tiny isn’t any better. Both always happen to get arrested together, who in the hell is watching their herd of children? SMH. You would think TI would be smarter than this, being that he literally sold his soul to the fed to get off early for his LAST felony. Smh..he’s going down either way, because even though Tiny is a proven druggie, if the car wad registered in his name, he’s just as reasponsible.

I agree with you up to a point, T.I should have known better especially after Faith Evans was pulled over just last week.
Black celebrities are a target, so you would have thought they would be more careful, and I’m pretty sure they where. I still say some one is tipping the popo off.

Now he and his new wife are arrested on some trumped up charge? YEAH RIGHT??? OKAY, I BUY IT! This sound like total BS to me.

I see a lot of people making excuses for Ti and Tiny’s ignorant behavior. Yea..the report says “in the class of” meth and ecstacy but what other drugs are in that class? If it was coke then they would’ve said it. If it was only weed then that would be a completely different class of drugs…so obviously it WAS IN FACT ECSTACY AND METH!
EITHER WAY THEY ARE DISGUSTING! Meth is second only to heroine…
Now its well known in atl that Djuan aka Young Dro is a coke head…and Tiny has been arrested for ecstacy before. They need rehab clearly.

…T.I. knows he’s piss-tested on-the-regular and without-notice! …Why would he do something like this? He’s got to know, after THIS past weekend(?),HE’S A MARKED MAN; I think this is a set-up! But for now, till the dust settles, let his PR-folks/Lawyers handle it.
At the end-of-the-day, if Mainstream America can support, if not lionize Charlie Sheen/Mel Gibson, then WE, can support OUR-own, no-matter however ….”flawed and/or human ….!!”
@Trent – It’s funny how you run THIS story and NOT the fact that ‘Takers’ is NOW the #1-movie and T.I. signed a 3-picture deal with Sony. I’ve STILL YET-to-see, you mention ‘Deuces’ being #1 on BillBoard’s R&B chart!
@my most-beloved Team-Breezy family – If ANYONE of y’all, can get word to Chris(?), PLEASE have him TAKE GREAT-CARE; keep his circles EXTRA tight! HIS weakest-link, in that chain, has been HIS choices in “female companionship!”

Oh TIP smdh. I’m sure he means to do well but he keeps making poor decisions. It may not be a crime that they are harming themselves but they have children.. and they are harming them… they dont need parents that are constantly on the wrong side of the law and are in and out of prison.
As for set up, why would anyone need to set them up?

September 2, 2010 at 7:20 pm
@ secret voice you said it all, rickey them spelled it out. people with money should already know that they are going to be watched like a hawk. the authorities know t.i is into big money, and they want their share of that big money set up are not . try to keep yourself out of these kind of situations, hire you a driver dam it makes no kind of sense i hate to see that happen to him so soon after just getting out, thats a dam shame and t.i. know better.

What has having a number one movie got to do with this. Is TI the only black celebrity to have a number one movie? These people are constantly making African Americans look bad.This man is a father of six children and should know better. Also pls quit with that conspiracy theory, Ti & Tiny fell into the hands of the authorities plain and simple. Thats why i am grateful for celebrities like Will smith, Beyonce and even Rhianna for not being cut up in illegal behavior
X,Y,"and Z"
September 2, 2010 at 8:21 pm
@Linda – “Rihanna not cut up on illegal behavior….?!” Er….wasn’t she just reported to have trashed some hotel-room in Barbados, with noise complaints, the smell of marijuana and reported cocaine-use as testament?
“Is TI the only black celebrity to have a number one movie?” <– No, obviously not! But he's the only one I can remember to have co-produced/co-starred in and along with Idris Elba/CBreezy, single-handedly marketed/sold this movie to an URBAN audience! And 'Takers' was ONLY supposed to make $7-15Milion, not be the #1-movie($20-Million+) in ALL of these United States!
I had no-idea that this move had soooo many obstacles placed in it's way. If you didn't notice, Matt Dillon, who was supposedly the main-character of this film, was absent during it's marketing; why? Cause he wanted NOTHING to do with it! Haden Christiensen HATED IT! Paul Walker was only seen in/at 1-premier. This film was marketed to Urban America by T.I., Idris Elba and CBreezy! …And guess what? …It not-only made money, but it ALSO went #1!
But don't take my word for it, go to deadline.com and read the sordid details!
T.I. having the #1-movie has EVERYTHING to do with it, a successful black man, against ALL ODDS, now knocked-down; contrast this with the treatment the press gave(is giving), Charlie Sheen! Charlie Sheen whose drug use/wife/woman beating has spanned DECADES! Charlie Sheen, even AFTER his latest drug/alcohol-fueled rage bout-of-misogyny: holding a knife to the throat, and threatening, his wife's life; STILL was forgiven by the mainstream. So-much-so, that his show, '2 1/2 men' is STILL the leading-ratings grabber, and has since, elevated him to the status of being, T-H-E HIGHEST-PAID ACTOR ON/IN TV ..!!

Okay is it his car or is it rented? If this is true TI you have had TOO many chances at this point. But anyways I refuse to jump to conclusions. I feel like TI knows better than to do something so dumb he isn’t rolling with Young Money and Soulja Boy and why would he carry drugs when he is on probabtion and has just gotten his life together?
Did they do a piss test? Thats what they should have did if they didn’t. And if they did and he has drugs in his system then we can talk. You can’t say he was selling them cuz thats just foolish. I hope this story isnt as bad a sit seems. Godbless them. I heard about this early this morning and I couldnt belive TI would do something like that considering if he fucks up again we ain’t gonna see him 2037 probably….smh.

Wasn’t it 2 or 3 weeks ago that Rihanna was hanging out with T.I. and Tiny and others rappers/artists in a club in New York City? And partying in that Hotel Room smoking weed and doing coke then trashing the people hotel room. Remember that? She was sued for the damagers.

This is the result of becoming successful without being deserving of it. I am tired of these uneducated rappers and their main prostitutes, who continue to reinforce the stereotypical views, blacks are drug dealers who worship material objects and have no sense of responsibility to self or to society, others have of the black community. Contrary to popular belief, there are those of us, blacks, who not only value social responsibility, but are contributing members of society.
Shame on you TI and Tiny. I hope your children don’t look to you for guidance.

To everybody debating on whether it is actually Ecstasy and Meth or not: Ya’ll do know that whether it is or isn’t it’s in the same class with those drugs and ALL Schedule 1 drugs ILLEGAL. REGARDLESS.
Anyway, if they are stupid (whether it is theirs or not). They know that people are watching them and stikk choose to ride around in a car with drugs? Their PR people are going to have to earn their checks this time. SMH.

Why doesn’t this come as a suprise to me, T.I. has never had any good judgement (case in point being his marriage to “Ms. Piggy”), but I’m sure he will be released, he will release an album and sell millions and make millions (the joys of being “celebrities”), and repeat the same shit all over again.
