Hip-hop zillionaire 50 Cent, who is no stranger to drug arrest, offered fellow rapper T.I. and his wife, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, some advice on how to best deal with the recent felony charge that they're facing for possession of a controlled substance.
The couple were arrested Wednesday night in West Hollywood at a routine traffic stop. When officers smelled marijuana emitting from the pair's überexpensive vehicle, they decided to conduct a thorough search of their car. Police reportedly uncovered a small amount of ecstasy, pills that are currently awaiting testing and Styrofoam cups with traces of sizzurp, a street name for a purple codeine-based cough syrup used as a recreational drug that has gained popularity in the hip-hop community.
The Billboard chart topper tweeted a few choice words for the couple but aimed them mostly at Tiny:
"Ok I'm gone till the"
$ept 6. "I'm gonna let you motherf***er$ $uffer of boredom till I return But that TI s**t is bad."
$ept 6. "Man TI and tiny done got picked up agin for methamphetmines and ecstacy dam manTiny gotta take that charge. Say it was yoursBaby."
Even if Tiny decides to take 50 Cent's suggestion, will the courts be lenient on her this go round? After all, the 35-year-old has been cuffed before. Back in 2007, Tameka, who was pregnant at the time, and T.I. were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and ecstasy.
And let's not overlook what type of message 50's advice sends to females everywhere. There are too many black women who take the rap for their boyfriends and husbands only to get put away for long periods of time. Even though Tiny didn't have enough sense to stop herself from getting high with her hubby, let's hope she exercises more wisdom than 50 Cent can offer when actually fighting this charge.
We need to make better choices. T.I. and Tiny are adults with kids. Going in and out of prison is wack as a teen, but going in and out of prison as a full-fledged adult is just straight embarrassing and tacky.
Here we are just three years later and the celeb couple is facing drug charges, yet again. And T.I., who is on probation after serving seven months in prison on weapons charges, will need to rally up the best legal teams possible in order to keep the judge from throwing the book at him.
That "road to redemption" seems to be riddled with landmines for these newlyweds.

50 advise is sound in this situation. first of all dont sit there and say the drugs was ti's alone, lets be real tiny isnt innocent, she likes to get high too. indeed this is stupid for both, but 50 point is Ti is on probation and this charge will send him back to jail for who knows how many years. tiny is not on probation so this charge to her would be like a slap on the wrist.now be serious her tiny career been over, ti makin the chips so if she wanna see the chips keep comin in so he can take care of her n the kids then she gotta eat this charge. said but thats the reality. she claim to be a ride or die chick then prove it

First of all Ti should know better, he just got out of the joint, and he knows that he is hot and the law is going to watch every move he's doing. I had watched him on Monique show, and he gave some good advice why not take the same for him self. If he want to contiuned on getting hi doing it in his house.He, also did a good movie in which it was good box seller. I don't want to see this brother go back to jail its worthless for drugs. Think of your children. They need both parents in their lives. As for Tiny you are a mother first you do not have to follow Ti in what he is doing. You call that love, It's just plain stupidity, listen to 50-cent

All I have to say is one thing. Drugs (if you don't feel that your body deserves whole foods) and sex are
BEST AT HOME!!!!!!
Etiquette will always save you and you will actually ENJOY the pleasures of which you choose to indulge in.
