Rapper King Harris, the son of T.I. and Tiny Harris, was taken into custody in Gwinnett County in the early hours of Sunday following a traffic stop that quickly escalated.
Officers are said to have pulled him over at around 1 a.m. after allegedly spotting his vehicle traveling well above the posted speed limit, TMZ reported on Tuesday.
During the stop, police reportedly observed what appeared to be a firearm inside the car and instructed him to step out, an order he is said to have refused.
A search allegedly uncovered a vape pen said to contain THC, per the outlet.
He was subsequently booked on a felony drug possession charge, along with a misdemeanour count for allegedly obstructing officers, and cited for additional traffic violations.
Adding to the unusual nature of the incident, Harris was dressed in a bright Pikachu onesie at the time of the arrest.

Harris was reportedly released on bail roughly five hours after his arrest.
The rapper appeared to document the ordeal on his Instagram Stories, posting a selfie still wearing the Pikachu costume after being pulled over.
He also shared a video of himself in the outfit on his account, writing, in part, ‘living a good Pikachu life in Tokyo then come back to ATL and team rocket(F***** POLICE) catch me wit a master ball and throw me n jail all night.’
In a subsequent post, Harris uploaded another selfie – this time without the costume – while making an obscene gesture toward the camera.
He also included a message directed at officers, writing ‘F*** dat police’ and making a crude remark about an officer’s wife, per TMZ.
The incident is not the first time Harris has encountered legal issues in Georgia.
In 2024, he was accused of nearly striking a police officer at a Dunwoody gas station and was taken into custody after an officer reported smelling marijuana coming from his vehicle.
He was later transferred to Pickens County on a bench warrant tied to a failure to appear in court over a 2022 traffic stop involving alleged speeding and DUI.
Those charges in Pickens County were ultimately dropped in August 2025.
