T.I. Wants T Day at His House

Posted Nov 7th 2007 11:15AM by TMZ Staff

T.I. wants Turkey Day at his house. Pass the potatoes!
T.I.
The rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris, has asked a judge to allow him to host Thanksgiving at his Atlanta home. T.I. is currently out on bond, but a judge has ordered him to home confinement, and any visitors -- no more than three at a time -- must be approved by the court.

On Tuesday, his lawyers asked that a list of family members be granted "approved visitation to have dinner with the defendant" on Thanksgiving Day.

UPDATE: T.I. has dropped his request to host Thanksgiving dinner at his home, two days after asking the judge's permission. Harris' lawyers withdrew the request after fierce opposition from prosecuting attorneys.

17. He should be allowed to have visitors for the holiday.

However, the visitors MUST be searched before entering the house.

And the guests must be pre-screened; no gang members or felons allowed.

21. This seems like a simple enough and honest request; but, would he be afforded this luxury if he were in jail? No! Home confinement is one step removed from jail. So, he shouldn't get any special privileges at all, even if the guy is up to nothing except Thanksgiving dinner!

23. This comment is to Micheal who commented at 11:04am....Do you understand the words that are coming out of your own mouth?????? You're foolish!!!!!! This country wouldn't even exsist without the blood and sweat of African Americans! You need a history lesson, and i'm not going to spend my time trying to educate your ignorance---READ A BOOK---try Louis Henry Gates, Micheal Eric Dyson, W.E.B. Dobouis. And what in the world does your comment have to do with the topic at hand...someone wanting to enjoy their family during a time of year we're supposed to be thankful for so many things.

24. There are people thankful that he was caught before the guns killed someone. Be thankful the man is not on the streets buying more guns.

26. @ChrisFromChatt
Aww that would make you very happy wouldn't it...but sorry I went to an 85% white school and graduated with special honors in the top 1% of the class, Played in every sport from basketball to softball, i was in BETA, ANCHOR, FEA, FCA, Voted in homecoming court, student of the month, who's who among american high schools(yeah I'm in the published book), who's who in my own school ( most atheletic & most dignified). Went to college got a degree in Business Information Systems and now work as a Software Analyst, so i'm far from being a high school dropout.

P.S. I go to church every Sunday and pray for people like you!
