OutKast's Big Boi arrested for drug possession

OutKast's Big Boi was arrested on Saturday, August 6 for drug possession following a boating holiday in the Caribbean. 

The rapper was found to be carrying contraband, including ecstasy, MDMA and Viagra, and was charged with possession. His bail was set at $16,000 and while Big Boi hasn't personally made a public statement, his attorney Daniel Kane told CNN:

"While Big Boi was travelling with his group and friends, a small amount of contraband was found in the collective luggage ... When the entire facts are aired Big Boi will be completely exonerated."

Tweeting late last night, August 7, Big Boi wrote, "Fresh Out Baby!", which he then followed with "Shiiiiit they said it was the Love Boat".
