TMZ is reporting that rapper and one half of OutKast, Big Boi (AKA Antwan Patton), has been arrested in the Magic City.

The charges are three counts of possession of a controlled substance (MDMA, ecstasy and...Viagra?) and one count of drug paraphernalia. All four charges are felonies in Miami-Dade County.

Law enforcement busted Patton with the aid of drug-sniffing dogs as he was exiting a cruise ship.

Big Boi was pinched at 1:35 p.m. and his bail is set at $16,000. There are still a lot of details to be revealed, like what manner of paraphernalia the rapper had on him, why the police report said he was found with pure MDMA and ecstasy, and, even further, who is feeding his Viagra habit.
