Rapper T.I.., real name Clifford Harris, was mistakenly arrested on Sunday night at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.
Authorities confused him with another individual of the same name, wanted for allegedly threatening a woman with a gun.
The suspect was described as weighing 205 pounds, while T.I. is around 165 pounds, but the name match led to his brief detainment.
T.I., known for past legal troubles including a 2009 federal gun charge and a 2010 drug charge, had been staying clear of legal issues.
The mix-up occurred because the arrest warrant was from another state, triggering an automatic extradition hearing.
Fortunately, T.I.'s lawyer swiftly acted, securing his release within two hours, and the hearing was dismissed.
The incident follows T.I.'s recent comments about distancing himself from politics and focusing on his family.
In a Breakfast Club interview, he mentioned, «At this point, I just want to live my life, continue to raise my children, do the best I can for me and my family.»
He emphasized his shift away from political controversies, including backlash from a 2018 music video featuring a Melania Trump lookalike.
This case underscores the issues surrounding mistaken identity in law enforcement. T.I.'s quick release highlighted the importance of proper identification, especially for public figures.
He remains committed to staying out of trouble, focusing instead on his family and personal growth.
