He’s just trying to live his life.
T.I. laughed off his arrest in Amsterdam after colliding with a police officer while biking and texting.
“I’m locked up now,” the rapper, 40, calmly explained with a chuckle in an Instagram video Tuesday while in police custody.
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., claimed a “policeman ran into me and broke his … rearview” mirror.
“He was extremely upset. I myself, I was having a great time,” he said. “I’m still not upset. I’m having a phenomenal time.”
The “Grand Hustle” star painted a picture of a rather peaceful arrest, saying he was not even placed in handcuffs.
“They just opened the door and invited me to the back seat,” he said with a laugh, adding, “I obliged.”
T.I. admitted that he was “obviously not supposed to have [his] phone” out while biking and said he also did not have his passport on him at the time.
“I don’t know. It’ll be fine,” he assured his fans.
The Grammy-winning artist said he was waiting on someone to bail him out.
“I’ve got cash in my pocket but they don’t seem to take this,” he said, removing a wad of bills from his jacket.
“I’ll tell you what. I’m finna call my people and get my passport and s–t so they can come on up here and swipe the card to get me out of here and some s–t like that.”
T.I. continued to laugh off the experience, even saying that the arrest was “great.”
“This is actually experiencing the culture. This is living life to the fullest, in the moment, ya dig?” he joked. “All right, I’ma catch y’all later.”
He later posted a video outside the police station after finally being released.
T.I. has been in the Netherlands celebrating his 11th wedding anniversary with his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris.
“Happy 11th Anniversary Boss Lady @majorgirl I love you dearly & I thank God for you‼️ We been through it ALL & stayed creating memories the whole time,” he wrote in a post to Instagram earlier this week. “That’s how we look up & it’s 20 yrs later… well here’s🥂 to 20 more 20s…all my love 😍 all my life. #MrandMrsH.”
He and the Xscape singer, 46, tied the knot in 2010.
Tuesday’s incident was not T.I.’s first run-in with the law this year. More than 30 women accused him and Tiny of sexual abuse in March, which the couple denied. Los Angeles police have since launched an investigation into the allegations.
