Former Atlanta Mayor Defends T.I.

Former Atlanta mayor Andrew Young has offered his take on rapper T.I.'s recent arrest in Los Angeles. Young, who presided over T.I.'s wedding to Tameka "Tiny" Cottle (who was also arrested) believes that the police had ulterior motives for pulling the rapper over in the first place. The officers reportedly smelled marijuana and discovered methamphetamines and Ecstasy in the couple's possession.

“There’s another culture in L.A. that I don’t understand,” Young told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Most people in Los Angeles would wonder why he was stopped. I don’t know why they should have been stopped ... When a black man is stopped and not speeding … you call that driving while black.”

T.I. is reportedly headed back to Atlanta and could face serious prison time if he's found guilty of violating his probation.
