T.I. has reportedly been released from police custody after being arrested in Atlanta.
As per media outlet, the rapper, whose government name is Clifford Harris, was reportedly arrested at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta on the evening of Sunday, August 4. But, the media notes that the arrest appeared to have been made under circumstances of mistaken identity.
