Atlanta rapper Trinidad James was arrested in Mississippi this weekend for marijuana possession. James was reportedly busted for smoking in his hotel room, according to TMZ. He was taken into custody and booked by officers in Panola County after his arrest at the Holiday Inn in Batesville, MS. The hip-hop star appeared to have been released the same day, however.
Despite the setback, the rapper seemed to bounce back rather quickly. Following his arrest, he updated his fans about his show via Twitter, and the tone of his tweets was more or less upbeat: “…To answer your question…YES, @TrinidadJamesGG IS PERFORMING TONIGHT! OXFORD STAND UP! #MississippiGOLD,” James tweeted. “Oxford chillin ready for a great show”
“Thank$ Mississippi for the love!!! #oxford” he added later.
