The honeymoon is over for rapper T.I. and Tameka "Tiny" Cottle.
Weeks after they wed, the two were arrested Wednesday for possession of a controlled substance in West Hollywood.

Police smelled alleged marijuana coming from their car and placed them under arrest after "a narcotics investigation ensued," Los Angeles sheriff's deputy Mark Pope told The Associated Press.
Still no official word on what specific drugs were found, but TMZ (which broke the story) reports methamphetamines and ecstasy were confiscated.

A few hours later, Cottle, 35, Twittered to fans: "Just wanted to say thank u to everyone dats been leaving encouraging msgs and prayers! We love u guys:) going to bed now! So glad to be n a nice clean bed."
The 29-year-old T.I. (real name is Clifford Harris Jr.) has done time for drugs before.
He also is still on probation stemming from charges of illegally buying machine guns.
The rapper, who has five children, recently told the AP he has turned over a new leaf.
"Right now, it's all about moving forward and just acknowledging the blessings that are here today," he said last month. "Just moving past the regrets of yesterday - the things that could've been done better."
Tell Us What You Think
12I can't believe someone can be so stupid. Stupid is forever,ignorance can be fix.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
when birds flocked together......
Sad to say it, but it's true--"rich" DOESN'T equal intelligent.
TMZ is always first to get stories & fast updates. Cops claim to have found Ecstasy. Regarldess, I wish he'd get his act together. Not a smart thing to do, especially being on probation.
I find that most people who don't listen tend to have A.) ADD B.) a stubborn streak AND 3.) A rebellious nature AND 5.) Short Term Memory loss
Apparently he hasn't learned his lesson! Why T.I. why?!
Somebody didn't learn their lesson!!! First Paris Hilton and now TI!! Come on, now!! They need to take the DARE program all over again!!
Aint nothin "Tiny" about this chick
He is crazy!! Why jeopardize your freedom to party? Paris too...so stupid. He's still on probation so he'll likely go back to jail.
I REALLY want him to do better :(
Not again!
