T.I. Expecting Fifth Child

Who said being confined to your home is reasonable punishment? T.I., who's under house arrest while awaiting trial for federal weapons charges, and longtime girlfriend Tameka "Tiny" Cottle of '90s girl group Xscape, are expecting their second child together. This will the rapper's fifth.

According to PEOPLE, Cottle announced the news that the on again, off again couple are expecting a baby boy on her Myspace page.

The Atlanta-bred rap star was arrested and charged with possession of unregistered machine guns on October 13. If convicted, the Grammy winner faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count. Fortunately for T.I. -- who's monitored around the clock -- Cottle and his children are the only people permitted to live with him.
