T.I. has reportedly been released from police custody after being arrested in Atlanta.
According to TMZ, the rapper, whose government name is Clifford Harris, was reportedly arrested at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta on the evening of Sunday, August 4. However, the outlet notes that the arrest appeared to have been made under circumstances of mistaken identity.
TMZ reports that a warrant was issued for a man named Clifford Harris. However, authorities allegedly mixed up the suspect, who weighs 205, with the rapper, who weighs 165.
The outlet adds that the man who authorities sought to arrest was wanted in connection to exhibiting violent behavior and stalking a woman.
According to TMZ, T.I. was taken to Clayton County Jail. However, his attorney, Steve Sadow, reportedly spoke with authorities and cleared up the mistake within two hours of the rapper’s arrest.
Social media users reacted to the rapper’s arrest and his case of mistaken identity in The Shade Room’s comment section.
While Instagram user @chrismasseytmb added, “nahhhh ain’t no way u mistaken T.I. in atlanta airport 🤦🏽♂️ no way in hell”
While Instagram user @bossladyy_stallion added, “Who atl don’t know T.I”
T.I. has yet to publicly address his recent arrest. However, earlier this week, he took to social media to address another milestone in his life. As The Shade Room previously reported, T.I. and his wife, Tiny Harris, celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary on July 31.
At the time, the rapper shared a special video montage dedicated to his wife.
“To my lover, best friend & most of all My Wife…With all my love for all my life. 14 yrs to ♾️… 🖤🩷💛💚💙🧡 Thx for completing my Life @majorgirl Proud to call you 😍Mrs. H😘,” he wrote.
Meanwhile, Tiny shared her own post celebrating her and her husband’s union.
