Source: T.I. Didn't Do It!

Is he packin' heat or isn't he? A source close to embattled rapper T.I. says that the gun charges leveraged against the hip-hopper are false; T.I. never tried to purchase guns -- it was all his bodyguard.

The source told MediaTakeOut.com that "[The bodyguard] asked T.I. for an advance on his [pay] and T.I. gave it to him. ...Whatever he spent money on -- whether it be guns, drugs, or formula for his children -- T.I. had nothing to do with it." That's it, he was buying formula!

And those guns found in T.I.'s house? "T.I. has security that lives with him and stay with him at all times. The gun that the [federal agents] found belonged to his security team" -- all of whom are licensed to carry them, the source claims.

"The government was just looking to pin a case on T.I. - they've been trying for years. So they pushed [the bodyguard] into snitching on T.I."

But according to CNN, authorities said they found three firearms in the car in which T.I. -- also know as Cilfford Harris -- drove to pick up the machine guns and silencers, "including one loaded gun tucked between the driver's seat where Harris had been sitting and the center console."

Conspiracy, or just caught up?

3. that is a lie! if what the source said had been true, so why was T.I. calling the CW's phone asking HIM to deliver him the weapons in a parking lot and its on RECORDING...on another note also on the recording T.I. is telling the CW to go the bank and collect $1,200 so he can purchase the weapons...with the security issue, the weapons still should have been registered, otherwise this wouldnt be an issue...

6. What about the 3 guns found in his car? One of them was loaded, next to the driver's
seat console. According to Fox/CNN News, 6 other guns were found in his home, 5 of
which were loaded. I sure hope his "security" had those registered. But, alas, probably not. I'm sure the Feds already checked that out. He's going down, big time. Good news is, he can write an album about his experiences in the joint. Bad news is, by the time
he gets out hip-hop will no longer exist. Oh well, life in the thug, fastlane.
