ATLANTA — Singer and rapper Ty Dolla $ign faces drug charges in Atlanta.
A Fulton County grand jury indicted the musician, 36, on Nov. 30 on charges of felony possession of cocaine, felony possession of THC and misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
The rapper’s birth name is Tyrone William Griffin Jr. He and six others were stopped on Sept. 5 after an officer said he smelled marijuana coming from a van near downtown Atlanta. A police report says a search yielded marijuana and cocaine.
