Outkast Rapper Big Boi Arrested, Found with Viagra and Ecstasy


Antwan “Big Boi” Patton, one half of the rap super group Outkast was arrested on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. in Miami, Florida as he exited a cruise ship. The arrest came when border patrol dogs caught him carrying several drugs which included the club drug Ecstasy and Pfizer created sexual arousal drug Viagra.

The rapper was charged with three counts of drug possession and one count of drug paraphernalia possession.

Also found on Big Boi’s person was MDMA powder, one of the active ingredients in Ecstasy which is sometimes used by therapists as a marital drug during therapy sessions.

The Viagra charge stems from the fact that Big Boi did not have a prescription for the substance.

At this time the rapper is being held on $16,000 bail which is expected to be posted by the end of the day.

Outkast has won six Grammy’s and have released six platinum selling albums including their breakout hit “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below” which has sold more than 10 million records worldwide.

While the group has not recorded a new record in years, collaborator “Killer Mike” recently told CNN that the group has reunited and they will soon begin recording a new album which is sure to be highly anticipated by Outkast fans around the world.

Calls and emails to Big Boi’s reps have not yet been returned to any agencies. Given the low cost of the millionaire’s bail, he’ll likely have bail posted and be back on the streets before the end of the night
