I wouldn't dress like that in prison
T.I. plead guilty to three federal weapons charges today and will spend a year in jail. Last year the rapper was arrested by federal agents -- just hours before the BET awards in Atlanta -- for trying to buy multiple machine guns and silencers (pictured below). The AP says:
In the year that he is awaiting sentencing, T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, must complete at least 1,000 hours of a total 1,500 hours of community service, talking to youth groups about the pitfalls of guns, gangs and drugs. (Source)
Call me crazy but is the guy that -- just a year ago -- owned the types of weapons you normally only see in Grand Theft Auto really the best person to be talking to kids about the dangers of guns? That's like getting me to preach to kids about the dangers of one night stands with supermodels.

I'm shocked! Since when do rappers carry guns?
I was going to say the same thing. Hard to believe. I always looked at them as great role models.
LOL (both).
hopefully they'll jail him for wearing his pants like that

Man that fool snitched or somethin i cant believe he just got one year for all those guns, i got homies doin 6 for way less than that. Juss shows money talks. Neways T.I.'s alright but Lil Flip is Tha Real king!
okay seriously ? that first comment is the stupidest comment i have seen so far. there are rappers that carry guns for protection smartass. && the way he wears his clothes are the way HE chooses so stfu real rapp. only reason he's gettin one year in jail is because he agreed to tell kids that guns and drugs and all the good shit is bad & how he messed up. soo chill with that. if yall got anything to reply back to this hit me up. i left my myspace.
well baby you go do your time and take care of yourself. you cute thing you
love me some T.I
Nigga what the fuck you talking about... you a lil bitch ass virgin who cant even get a date with ugly betty
gett him out of jaill i love himm
hessss hott ...
and the best rapper <3 i l y t.i
and he has kiddss like wtf
well he should be glad that hes only getting one year and sume bs work.... which i bet later on he can get it reduced.... i can tell that hes not a terrorist and it mite be for his protection but damm foo wen u ben threw the system already many times y risk it.... i jus hope he learns now cuz still his sentence is not that bad for his charges.... but one thing is for sure money talks cuz he should be getting far more years then that.... money & power...1
shut up hoe u should go to jail fer talkin about his jeans
Honestly.... a silencer is not for PROTECTION.. If the moron wants those guns he should move to a state that sells them legit. No one is about the law. The dumba$$ should have gotten 3 years to learn a lesson.
He's going to spend 1 year in a minimum security cell away from GEN pop and hes going to come out thinking he's a HARD BAD A$$ gangster... PLEASE.....lol...
hey .i would have done the same.life is real .look at all the women raped and kill, if only that had a gun.just think police carry guns daily and for what peace!yeah stop dreaming its to lay your ass down if their life is threaten forget yours
zady think a min dummy. who makes these sil........ and for what .come on ,if you want to rid the world of this stuff let the govorment lead by example, start getting rid of theirs first.and maybe the people will do the same
niggas please stop hatin on t.i. cuz he can afford those guns and u cant and the person who said he gone think ha a bad a$$ rapper stfu. he dont think he know. i bet u wont say that to his face. t.i. keep it pimpin nigga and 4 get the hatters you the shit belive that
I agree and Zady, T.I.'s music is good but why the hell would a man need a dozen hand guns, semi-automatic, fully automatic, and silencers for guns. The man had enough to start a small army. I were to do this i would have been locked up forever. And gansta, 1st. you misspelled your name, "gangsta", second we aren't "hatin" on him, we are saying he deserves more than a slap on the wrist. And third, the fact that he does have all that money and chooses to spend them on unlicensed guns, ammo, silencers, and hand grenades. I mean come one, who needs hand grenades.
Also "I agree and Zady,..." meant to say, "I agree with Zady" , my bad
Tha man was ready to handle his business man, stop hatin, it's a kill or be killed world, if i had some mother fuckaz guna roll up on me i'd do the same. T.I. respect blood for standin up to shit like a man and not hidin like some pussy. Peace boi
yo, i think that T.I should go 2 jail i mean i like his songs and everything put what rapper carrys guns?! and HE HAS KIDS!!! And hes teling children that they cant use guns put he can???!!! thats just STUPID!!!
Ok, First of all, T.I. is the BEAST rapper alive. Yeah Lil Wayne is good but T.I. talk about real shit. He is my favorite rapper.
He's sexy as fuck too.
No matter how fine or rich he is, what he did was wrong. Even he knows that. Just cuz he can afford all those guns don't mean he should have them. He's a 7 time felon. He ain't supposed to carry shit.
The good thing about him is that he takes full responsibility for his actions and knows he deserves to go to jail. Other rappers play the "i didnt do it" card and expect to get off.
A year is good for someone who is willing to own up to his mistakes.
I say, he serves his time and he's done. I honestly believe he's learned his lesson.
I Love u T.I. Stay strong. You got support in youre fans.
T.I. life is hard even when you have money its a meast up world out there and you need guns and you you need to kill someone then to get killed your self keep your head up and let the time do it self
at least the bullets would be worth it if he shot a madafuker worth $50 000 cz the nigga lost a lot of money. thats the real G
