Yesterday, T.I's home was raided by federal agents. Because of what was found during this investigation T.I was taken into custody and was unable to perform at the 7th annual BET awards. This is definitely a shame being as he was nominated for 9 awards. He is currently working on his next album... I'm sorry to say this, but his potential jail-time will most likely cause his album sales to soar out of control! We all know how thirsty wiggers tryna be down are... They'll be ALL OVER this! Jail time = dollar signs. Don't trip homie!
mtv.com had this to say about the incident:
All the details are not in, but T.I.'s would-be night to shine at the BET Hip Hop Awards never happened. The rapper was arrested Saturday afternoon (October 13) by agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms after a lengthy search of his Atlanta home by that agency as well as the U.S. Marshals and others, according to Atlanta's Fox 5 News. A spokesperson for the ATF would not confirm whether it was T.I. himself who was being investigated or someone within his household, according to The Associated Press. Tip's rep at Atlantic Records had no comment.
The rapper -- who was nominated for nine awards, more than any other artist -- was noticeably absent from the BET festivities. The MC was scheduled to perform alongside Wyclef Jean for their nominated collaboration, "You Know What It Is," but with the trap star missing in action, the show's host, Katt Williams, filled in.
The comedian, clad in jeans, a white T-shirt, hoodie and white hat, appeared onstage and brought the audience to cheers momentarily when fans thought T.I. was in the building. But Williams revealed himself, and 'Clef carried on the set. DJ Drama broke the silence by shouting "Free T.I." along with Busta Rhymes, and David Banner also voiced his support.
Well, there you have it folks, in a nut shell: another one bites the dust! Damn T.I, hold ya head homie!
Ok, anyone that knows me knows I LOVE me some T.I., but I will say to him what I say to Mike Vic: "Blackman, you are RICH!! Don't you know the MAN is WATCHING YOUR BLACK ASS and EVERYTHING you do???" I'm saying, when you are making money and you are young, Black, and fabulous, "they" will do anything and find any reason "they" can to bring you down." The pigs did that shit on purpose too--they could have done the raid that Tuesday or a week or two before if they wanted to I'm sure. A lesson to you young ballers: If you're making legit money, everything you're doing with that money should be legit too (except of course for the occasional blunt). I hope my boy comes out of this on top - I know the last place he wants to be is in jail. FREE T.I.!!!

Well said MO, well said. I totally and wholeheartedly agree. SMH... There's no need for being "gangster" and dabbling in criminal activity when you're a famous millionaire. People only do that when they feel they have to, so what are u proving by doing this now T.I? I lvoe him, but DAMN! Silencers???? That right there is 10 years alone! Dumb move....
