'Dead and Gone' rapper T.I. has received court summons to appear in a federal court case after he was arrested earlier this month on drug charges.

The rapper and star of film 'Takers' has been ordered by US District Judge Charles Pannell Jr to appear in an Atlanta court where he will have to present a case giving reason for his probation to be upheld, according to The AP.

T.I. was arrested alongside his new wife Tameka 'Tiny' Cottle for possessing a controlled substance in Los Angeles on 1st September.

According to the report, the judicial order lists three potential violations of the rapper's parole which include "possession of ecstasy, testing positive for opiates and associating with a convicted felon".

The date for T.I.'s court appearance is yet to be decided by Pannell.

The same judge sent the rapper to prison for one year and one day in 2009 for a conviction on federal weapons charges.
