Celebrity Justice
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?

49. yeah Joker2U

sounds like you hate the govt and all its arms of enforcement..let me guess, you're one of those guys who thought that Waco Preacher was a good guy, same with Randy Walker that nutjob out of Idaho. Your anti ATF tirade has grown boring and outdated. You probably applied for a Machine Gun permit and got turned down and now are pissed off. So leave your legalese to cases you arent already prejudiced against. You dont know the details of those weapons found in his home and car. If you do, name the people they are legally registered to.

Quit defending people involved with weapons just because your an NRA member. Its the wrong cause to defend legal gun ownership and responsible use of firearms.

51. Is it just me or is the majority of the TMZ viewership a collection of bigots and closet racist. It just seems whenever there is a something regarding a person of color it brings out the true colors of these people. Please don't attempt eplain your personal opinions with your Sean (KKK) Hanity or Bill (I am God) O’Reilly playbook, on deception.

52. Why bring race into this? This is a question of right vs.wrong. TI is a rapper people...it's really not that deep and he is not relevant. Get a life.

53. Justice should be served to everyone who goes against it, however if the evidence isnt valid, then justice isnt either. And we all know living in America those two things happen everyday!

54. Long Live The King Of The South. T.I. is innocent.

55. This is fror Martha,

Its funny how you called T.I. a minority. How so. I think it is the other way around. If you are white in America then you are the minority.

There are more people of color in America. I apologize, however you need to do some research because someone has told you wrong. Pay attention as to where you are getting your statistics from.

Just like getting a tan, white folk are in the doctors office gettiing infertility shots cause many of them can't have babies or maybe their man don't know

HOW TO HIT IT.

GET IT.

57. It is a shame how some white people are. Nasty, ignorant, don't wash their hands when they go to the bathroom, and oh yeah will cook your dinner eat off the spoon and put back in the pot.

Hair gets wet and smell like dogs. White people invented crime now they want to run away from it.

Ask your forfathers why were they raping the black women, cause their white woman couldn't satisfy them, and they wanted more. So they raped the blacks women. Trifling people. So before you go and talk about Black people.

Remember you are talking about your own cause in some way you are all related.
Yo Daddies made sure of that.

None of you are 100% white best believe.

59. Instead of judging and speculating let's pray for him and wait and see what happens it's never nice to see a successful person go to jail no matter what their occupation is rather he's a gangsta rapper or a shady salesman he's somebody's husband, father, son and brother.
