Big Boi, whose real name is Antwan Patton, appeared in a Miami courtroom Thursday (Oct. 13) as prosecutors outlined the deal that includes three months of drug testing, community service and $2,000 in donations to charities.

We toldja the 36 year old rapper was arrested getting off a cruise ship back in August when a K-9 dog alerted cops to drugs Big Boi was carrying. The drugs included ecstasy, a cigarette roller with marijuana residue and the ecstasy ingredient MDMA.

Big Boi had faced two felony drug charges. Prosecutors say if he remains drug-free after three months of testing, those charges will be dismissed.

Do you think he got off too easy?
