Big Boi, half of the Grammy-winning hip-hop duo OutKast, was arrested for drug possession Sunday afternoon, as he attempted to disembark from a cruise ship in Miami.
Miami-Dade law enforcement sources tell TMZ that the 36-year-old rapper, whose real name is Antwan Andre Patton, underwent a border-patrol search at the Port Miami after a Customs official's drug-sniffing dog discovered his stash of ecstasy, MDMA powder (the main ingredient in ecstasy), and Viagra in his luggage. Big Boi did not have a prescription for his Viagra pills.
The rapper was charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count for possession of drug paraphernalia. He was booked at a Miami-Dade County Jail around 1:30 p.m. and then released on a $16,000 bond.
Although Big Boi's reps have yet to release a statement, he picked a notoriously tough state in which to be caught with drugs. According to Florida's controversial drug laws, all three possession counts are considered felonies (apparently even those "little blue pills"), with the paraphernalia an accompanying misdemeanor. The felony charges come with the possibility of up to five years in prison -- each.
Big Boi isn't the only "Big" rapper currently facing prison time: E! News reports that Big Sean, who recently scored an MTV Video Music Awards nomination for his hit song "My Last," was charged with sexual abuse last Thursday.

Still enjoying her downtime in her homeland of Barbados, Rihanna hit the beach with family and friends on Monday afternoon (August 8).
The "What's My Name" singer donned a soil brown bikini top with bright multi-colored pants as she chatted with her loved ones during the island outing.
The sighting comes amidst rumors that RiRi joined J.Cole and Trey Songz on their video set the previous night - though it's unclear whether the material was for the 23-year-old's video or her musical pals' effort.
Meanwhile, Rihanna will soon be heading to Europe to tend to performances with a slated show at the On The Beach festival in Helsinki, Finland on August 15th followed by a stop at the Bergen Calling festival in Bergen, Norway two days later.

JACK: I turn around and run!
SISTER: If a stranger says, "Come here, I want to show you my puppy," what do you do?
