The charge comes on the heels of a September drug bust, involving husband T.I. The couple were arrested after making an illegal U-turn in West Hollywood. T.I. and Tiny, who are still newlyweds, were booked on felony possession of a controlled substance charge. Officers found marijuana, codeine and ecstasy in the couple's $400,000 luxe mobile. Tiny is due in court Monday.
T.I. on the other hand, is facing an 11-month sentence for violating his supervised federal probation, which stemmed from a previous weapons charge where he served seven months in prison. The hip-hop mega celeb who is slated to begin his current prison term next week did not face charges from the September drug bust.
In the meantime, a Los Angeles judge will determine Tiny's fate,, but if convicted, she, too, will face prison time, possibly one year. There is speculation, however, that outpatient rehab might be another option to time spent behind bars for Tiny.
The Grammy Award-winner and his reality show star wife have had an eventful last few weeks to say the least: T.I. lost major endorsements from Rémy Martin cognac and Axe Body Spray, helped talk down a man from the brink of suicide and released a song with Chris Brown.
During a recent radio interview, T.I. lamented on the mistakes he's made:
"I'm gonna take it a day at a time," he said. "I got a little while to plan. One thing I'm not gonna do is, I'm not gonna talk and make a whole lot of promises and do this or do that. I'm gonna speak more through my music and my actions. And I'm gonna let God lead me wherever that may be."
Amen, T.I.!
