Remember when rappers used to get arrested for guns and fights?
From Reuters, via Yahoo! News:
Miami police arrested Outkast rapper Big Boi on Sunday for possessing ecstasy and other drugs that the performer's lawyer later characterized as "contraband."I'll give Big Boi credit for the "Love Boat" line. But I don't understand the need for ecstasy when you're a Grammy-winning artist. Money and fame have long proven to be much more effective aphrodisiacs for women.
Media reports cited the Miami-Dade County Corrections Department's website as listing the rapper, whose real name is Antwan Patton, as having been arrested for having ecstasy, MDMA powder and Viagra, for which he had no prescription.
The Miami Herald reported that Big Boi faces a fourth count of possession of drug paraphernalia. Celebrity website TMZ.com said he was arrested by customs officials exiting a cruise ship, and that he'd been booked into jail in the afternoon but was released after posting a bond.
On the singer's official Twitter account, Big Boi initially tweeted "Fresh Out Baby!" and later, "...they said it was the Love Boat..." But details of the arrest could not be confirmed on Sunday evening.
