Rapper 2 Chainz was one of 11 people arrested after refusing to get off of a tour bus for nine hours during a traffic stop in Oklahoma City earlier this week.

2 Chainz was charged with obstructing a police officer, Sgt. Jennifer Wardlow said according to Associated Press.

The 35-year-old rapper, whose real name is Tauheed Epps, performed with fellow rappers T.I. and Lil Wayne on Aug. 21.

The tour bus was stopped by police around 12:00 a.m. near I-40 because of an illegal taillight, though officers did notice drug use as well according to Wardlow.

The driver was arrested, but after he got off the bus the interior door shut and locked, keeping officers out.

The people who were still on the bus refused to leave the bus, so police had it towed to a nearby police training facility four miles away.

After obtaining a warrant, all 11 people came off the bus at around 9 a.m., according to Wardlow. Drugs were found on the bus, but it was difficult for police to figure out who the drugs belonged to.

More charges are expected to be filed later on according to the Associated Press.

2 Chainz was a part of the rap group Playaz Circle before going solo. His debut album, "Based on a T.R.U. Story," was released in 2012, and debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart.

His new album "B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time," will be released in September. He was acquitted of marijuana charges after a traffic stop in Maryland.
