Big Boi, rapper for the popular group Outkast, was arrested in Miami today on charges of drug possession TMZ has learned.
According to the Miami-Dade County Corrections Department, Mr. Boi (real name Antwan Patton) was charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
In celebration of Crown Royal Black’s partnership with Big Boi, cameras went behind the scenes to document Big Boi in compelling moments of his life and career that showcase his definition of “The Crown Life.” The short film lets audiences into Big Boi’s life as he performed during the 2011 Grammy Awards weekend; inside his studio, Stankonia, as he prepares for his latest projects; and an evening out on the town in his hometown of Atlanta with stops at his favorite spots to unwind.
Go Packers!
Alex Chapman sat down with Big Boi after his show with Chromeo’s Dave 1 in New York to talk about why his new album was delayed, ATL slang, what a Big Boi Christmas is like, and what happens to people that criticize his dog breeding.
Grammy 365 held a Q&A session for Big Boi hosted by Amy Andrieux. Big Boi talked a wide variety of topics, but what was most important (to me at least) was the talks of a new Outkast album and the creative process when working with Andre 3000 in the studio. He also gives a major co-sign to Yelawolf. Yela, I hope you caught that!
It’s about time DJ’s get back to the essence wouldn’t you agree? Well after Big Boi received such positive feedback from the record “You Ain’t No DJ,” Daddy Fat Sacks and the good folks at Hot 97 decided to put DJ’s to the test nationwide. Contestants will have to create an original mix to Big Boi’s, “You Ain’t No DJ” with the chance at winning Big Boi memorabilia. The grand prize winner receives a Stankonia Boom Box + signed limited edition vinyl.
