Juvenile really oughta start acting his age.

The "Back That Azz Up" rapper was arrested in central Florida early Saturday after a warrant was issued in connection with an ongoing child support investigation.

E! Online Juvenile, 30, was wanted on a contempt-of-court warrant issued from Jefferson County, Florida. He was taken into custody at Ocala's Ritz Historic Inn without incident and booked under his legal name, Terius Gray, at the Marion County Jail, the Ocala Star-Banner reported.

He was released at around 2:30 a.m. on his own recognizance after submitting a DNA sample for a paternity test.

An Ocala police spokesperson said police were tipped off to the rapper's whereabouts and dispatched officers there late Friday night.

After being released, the "Slow Motion" songster took to the stage at the Ghosthouse. The club had postponed his scheduled show by nearly two and a half hours due to his arrest, with the capacity crowd of 300 thinning out considerably in the interim.

During his performance, the New Orleans-based rapper reportedly dismissed the charges as "bogus."

The weekend bust isn't Juvenile's first case of child-support delinquency.

In December 2003, Georgia police issued a warrant for his arrest on charges of child abandonment, after he allegedly failed to pay child support for his daughter, who was then six months old.

Despite several paternity tests proving otherwise, Juvenile and his lawyers have insisted the rapper is not the girl's father.

The rapper's next album and Atlantic Records debut, Reality Check, is out Mar. 7.
