Rapper T.I. Says He Was Taken Into Custody In Amsterdam Following Bike Incident With A Cop, Posts Instagram Video From Jail
This was not a easy ride. Rapper T.I. posted a video to Instagram on Tuesday, August 3, while in a jail cell, to say that he was arrested in Amsterdam after a situation that involved a bicycle and a police officer.
In the social media post, the "Whatever You Like" musician says the accident happened when he was out riding his bike and did not come to a full stop when crossing the street. After the 40-year-old rapper kept riding along, his handlebar ended up breaking off a cop's side mirror.
According to the famed artist, the officer never put handcuffs on him while escorting him to the backseat of the car and after posting bail, he has released.
In a later Instagram live, the ATL actor appeared to be okay with the situation. When a friend could be heard in the live saying the situation was "bulls**t," the record producer replied saying "everybody has a bad morning."
This comes as the reality star got himself into some hot water after defending DaBaby's homophobic remarks at the Rolling Loud music festival in Miami.
