This one, however, does involve formal charges. Rapper TI has been arrested just hours before the hip hop awards being staged by US TV network BET this weekend over allegations he possessed a number of illegal weapons. Reports say police found three illegal firearms when searching his car, one of them loaded, and that they found six more during a search of his Atlanta home, five of them loaded. That's a lot of guns. The rapper's bodyguard has reportedly admitted to buying the guns for his boss, who allegedly supplied good old fashioned cash for their purchase. TI is yet to comment on the charges, though if he is found guilty the ramifications could be worse given he already has a criminal record, meaning he will also be charged for 'possession of firearms by a convicted felon'.
