T.I., born Clifford Harris, was arrested by the ATF (U.S federal agents) at 2.30 p.m. EDT, the day he was due to perform at the BET Networks awards ceremony in Atlanta. He had been nominated for nine awards at the annual show -- more than any other artist. They included the prestigious MVP award for the best artist in the business as well as best CD of the year and best lyricist of the year. His failure to appear overshadowed one of the biggest events on the hip hop calendar and disappointed hundreds of fans who turned up to watch the elite of the hip hop industry. These are the biggest things I always warn these young hip-hop stars about. T.I is a convicted drug felon and I know what he went through in the case of those drug dealing days. Having known that, why would he be buying 3 machine guns with silencers?........But then there is the incident that killed Philant in 2006. That is Philant Johnson his Personal Assistant who was riding in a car with T.I and another woman when someone fired shots badly at the car killing Johnson while they were all leaving a club in Ohio. Was T.I afraid of his life? Why assault weapons WITH SILENCERS? Four children and a longtime girlfriend who is also a mother to two of the kids, now everything is upside down. "Federal Agents!" The picture above was taken after I finished interviewing him at Visions Night club in Atlanta in 2005. We were swarmed by paparazzi. He DOES not like the papz. I have no further comment but to wish him and Tiny GOOD luck. Meanwhile he won a few awards last night including the coveted Album Of The Year which we congratulate him for. The show airs Wednesday at 8pm. This is a real shame.
