Rapper Arrested Before Awards 7:28 am, 15 Oct 2007 Print this story US rapper TI was unable to collect two music awards after being arrested and charged with weapons offences just hours before the ceremony in Atlanta.
The 27-year-old won the awards at the BET Hip-Hop gala, where he was also due to perform.
But the BBC says he was arrested in a city car park on suspicion of collecting machine guns and silencers bought for him by his bodyguard.
At the awards ceremony, other performers stepped in to cover for TI's absence, with Wyclef Jean covering his song You Know What It Is and comic Katt Williams impersonating him.
The rapper topped the US album chart earlier this year with TI vs TIP.
Other winners on the night included Kanye West, who took two gongs for best live performance and hip-hop video.
