Just as
T.I. was checking in to his newfound digs at an Arkansas prison, wife
Tameka "Tiny" Cottle and her legal team were entering a not guilty plea for a
September drug bust in a Los Angeles courtroom on Monday.

Reality star Tiny and rap icon T.I.
were caught by L.A.P.D. with the drugs codeine, marijuana and ecstasy in their vehicle, after making an illegal U-turn on Sunset Boulevard. The couple was charged and released a day later on Sept. 2, on a $10,000 bail.
Ironically, T.I., whose real name is
Clifford Harris, had to travel to the
Federal Correctional Center in Forrest City, Ark., on Monday.
T.I. is slated to serve an 11-month term at the prison for violating his supervised federal probation with the recent drug bust. He arrived at the prison Monday afternoon with an entourage of two black late-model Chevy Suburban SUVs. The mega hip-hop star and actor served seven months at the same Arkansas facility back in 2009 for federal weapons charges.
Meanwhile, Tiny, who was charged with a single count of misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance (ecstasy), was not present in the Los Angeles courtroom when her lawyers entered the not guilty plea on her behalf to misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance.
T.I. avoided jail time in connection with the most recent drug bust, because officials dropped his charges in light of his return to federal prison over the probation violations. Tiny, on the other hand, might not get so lucky and could face up to a year in prison for her drug-related charges.
The 35-year-old mom of three is due back in court for a pretrial hearing on Jan. 6.

What I don't understand is why do you want to do this knowing that they are waiting for you to mess up? If you want to do drugs, do them at HOME behind closed doors. People who have everything why do they have to turn to drugs? Who could beat her crying when Tip was locked up? I see that they didn't think about their kids. Praying that they get some common sense.

It is hard to get loaded and stay home when you have all them good hot wheels to drive around in. You are too stoned to walk, so you may as well drive. You are too cheap to hire car service Especially in a town where you do not know what time it is. The man downtown is waiting to get some of your dough because he know if you are in a certain hood that you must be getting loaded. I mean in LA [especially Hollywood] after a certain hour there are only slugs, bozos, and zeros riding up and down the drag. The police is hungry for arrests and YOU ARE IT!! Rich little blackboy in your expensive wheels. You should rent a chevy or dodge or something to get loaded in if you must drive and stick to Highway 1 like any other junkie/drunkie does in the city of angels.

Tiny is one ugly woman. I dont get why TI is with her. Maybe because they have children or she has skills in the bed. But she is not attractive at all. She looks like a old pig in the face and she is so country. She should get locked up with TI. These two are so stupid. They could of gotten high inside their house where their children are. When bamas get money they dont know how to act. So stupid.
