T.I. Goes on Strike With a Mic

Posted Jul 12th 2007 3:26PM by TMZ Staff

Rap superstar T.I. doesn't take s**t from anyone -- especially when he's on stage! What a performer!
T.I.
According to several TMZ spies, T.I. was pissed when a fan launched a cup at the rapper during a performance at an ESPY pre-party at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Tuesday night. We're told T.I. was so upset, he jumped off the stage, leaping over stars like Brody Jenner and the Duff sisters to confront the person face-to-face.

When he got to suspected tumbler tosser, T.I. allegedly struck the individual with his microphone, and the bloody patron was quickly escorted out of the hotel.

Calls to T.I.'s reps were not immediately returned.

31. Reading you guys comments it seems as though times are reversing. White Power ,huh. That's what it is all about. Racial comment for every black person that TMZ prints stories about. Granted you do say negative things about white stars, but why does your comments have to be racial when it comes to African Americans? I'm not applauding TI's behavior, I believe he should have handle the situation differently. Black has nothing to do with his behavior like "white trash" have nothing to do with white peoples behavior. He is a man who just happens to be African American, a rapper, and a guy who beat another person with a microphone.

32. Crakka Killer-

Don't try to pull me in in your negativitism. My apologizes to the pig for comparing it to you. You give nothing. Try doing some charity work.

Bla blah blah blah blah. Try taking some classes or something. Expand your mind with intellect rather than sitting around thinking about what white people have done to you....and what were those things again?

39. Hey 2 be true, I know my tenets. And I have a great life. I would never hit anyone first. I'm saying that if that loser came after me in the auidence I would love to kick his ass & because hes so skinny I believe I could. Oh and also, KISS MY ASS!!!!

40. I don't even know who this guy is, not being a rap fan. But I think he should be more concerned when people STOP throwing things at him.

So effin' tough, but can't handle a paper or styrofoam cup. Poor, delicate baby. Unless he's a fraud with no 'street cred', then I guarantee you that he has thrown something far worse at someone during his life. Oh, wait. He did...a microphone.

Glass houses brotha, glass houses...

41. #46 It doesn't matter how skinny someone is. Hense me suggesting you reevaluate your martial arts plan. Ever hear of the Mark Twain saying "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." ?? I don't think you would be worth it...as well as me "kissing your ass." What a sad gal you are to let someone like myself get to you. Why the hell would he come after YOU??? unless you are the type to provoke someone, like the idiot in the audience did. If you go around looking for a fight or trouble, you'll get it. You're a rebel with no cause whatsoever...and so is TI and the silly non-fan that hit him. That Bruce Lee book is on Amazon.... on sale!! :)
