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.

46. 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...

47. #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!! :)

53. good for T.I. dont let them think they can walk all up on you, beat his ass and teach him a lesson, too many haters out there.

54. This is ridiculous, I've been to tons of shows, and seen things like GLASS BOTTLES get thrown at performers, it's part of it. An empty cup is not that bad. To all those who think this is an appropriate reaction you guys need to grow up, doing things like this will just encourage more negativity. I was at one show and someone lugged a bottle at a bass player, he caught it in mid air, then let it drop, came in on the chorus, didn't miss a beat, the crowd went wild. I love T.I. but these rappers could learn a lot from the rock kids

55. Well T.I. is my boo but I'm sure it was T.I.P. that whooped his ass and I am sure that whomever it was that threw that cup won't throw nothing else at anyone at that....Don't they know that T.I is "5'9" wit the soul of a 6'4"", don't fucc wit him...

60. I love how there is this strong racial undercurrent going on in here; the black culture is not a mirror image of T.I. Goes to show how narrow-minded most of you are in here, and in the world in general. The race card is gonna be valid and will be employed until people - black and white - will start opening their ears, eyes, and minds up. I love how we're still refered to as "you all". THAT is soooo yesterday.
