Rapper T.I. on Thursday morning was released from an Altanta halfway house.

T.I. spent 14 days in the house as part of his 11-month prison sentence from a parole violation and with the house behind him T.I. will now continue with a year-long probationary period.

Real name Clifford Harris Jr., the rapper is no stranger to the inside of a prison, he spent seven months in an Arkansas facility in 2009 after negotiating a plea agreement over federal gun charges. T.I. attempted to purchase three machine guns from an Atlanta grocery story parking lot.

T.I.’s newest prison stay occurred after he was stopped on Sunset Boulevard with his wife in Beverly Hills, California.

According to CNN:

A police report said suspected drugs were found in the couple’s car and they were both arrested on drug charges. The charge against the rapper was later dropped, but he failed a drug test given by his parole officer.

Now begins the countdown until T.I. heads back to prison on some new crazy charge he probably hasn’t even thought up yet.

Let’s take a poll, do you believe the rapper has finally learned his lesson and will avoid another stay in the clink or will he be heading back to visit his old friends behind bars?

29-year-old rapper Clifford Harris Jr (better known as T.I.) and wife Tameka “Tiny” Cottie, 36, were arrested last night on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood for drugs.

TMZ was on the scene and reported that the couple was originally pulled over for an illegal U-turn on Sunset, but cops “smelled marijuana.” Following a search of the vehicle, the two were arrested for possession of a controlled substance. TMZ speculates that based on photos, the substance might be “purple drank,” or “sizzurp”:

– A form of codeine falls under the class of drugs for which T.I. and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, were arrested.

– Codeine is the main ingredient in Sizzurp, which is a growing problem in the South.

– Sizzurp is typically ingested in styrofoam cups … it’s become a “thing” in the hip-hop community.

Cops won’t say specifically which drug they found, though our sources say it’s the class of drugs that does indeed include the main ingredient for Sizzurp.

T.I. and Cottie, who wed on July 30th, posted $10,000 bail and were released in the morning. The rapper is on probation after serving 7 months in jail last year for gun charges.
