T.I. has reported to prison to begin an eleven month sentence for violating the terms of his probation.

The rapper, who was on probation after being freed from jail for federal weapons charges, was arrested last month in Los Angeles for cocaine possession.

At a court hearing on October 16 T.I. had his probation revoked and was told that he must voluntarily surrender.

The 30-year-old star arrived at Forrest City low-security prison shortly before midday yesterday (November 1), reports the Associated Press.

T.I. served seven months in the Arkansas prison last year for gun possession stemming from an arrest in 2007.
