T.I. attends the 'Rapture' Premiere 2018 SXSW Conference and Festivals at Paramount Theatre on March 17, 2018 in Austin, Texas.

Despite this morning's arrest, T.I. is back home with his kids.

It's been quite the morning for T.I. The rapper was arrested and charged earlier today after getting into an argument with the security guard in the gated community he lives in. Tip was apprehended by the police and charged with disorderly conduct and public drunkenness earlier today but he has since been released from prison and made it back home for his son's birthday.

After getting released from jail earlier, T.I. took to Instagram Live to share a heartfelt moment with his family. The rapper was released just in time to make it home for his son Major's birthday. The rapper was seen having a blast as his son blew out the candles on his cake while surrounded by family singing him "happy birthday." 

We've yet to hear T.I. make any statements about his arrest. It was initially reported that the security guard didn't allow T.I. to get into the gated community which initially sparked their argument. However, a new update from TMZ reveals that the guard did allow T.I. on the property and that Tip ended up returning to the gate to confront the guy once again. The police then pulled up and ultimately believed he was drunk and disorderly which prompted them to arrest the rapper and his friend. 

Considering his mug shot, it doesn't look like he's too pissed about it.
