Rapper and record producer T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., was mistakenly arrested at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport on Sunday night. The 43-year-old artist, known for hits like “What You Know,” was detained by authorities who believed he was the subject of an arrest warrant.

The confusion arose due to an outstanding warrant issued for another individual named Clifford Harris, who resides in Baltimore and weighs approximately 205 pounds. This other Harris is alleged to have engaged in violent behavior, stalking, and possessing an illegal firearm. In contrast, T.I. weighs around 165 pounds.

T.I. was taken into custody and transported to Clayton County Jail but was released two hours later.

Earlier this year, T.I. and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris, were accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2005 under California’s Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Accountability Act. The couple has denied these allegations, stating: "We are innocent of these fake claims; we will not be shaken down, and we look forward to our day in court."

In addition to this recent incident, T.I. has had previous run-ins with the law. He was arrested outside his gated community in 2018 on charges of disorderly conduct, public drunkenness, and simple assault.

Security footage from the jail shows a different side to the story.

T.I. recently announced the release of his 12th and final studio album titled “Kill the King.”
