T.I. -- I'm Innocent, Ya Dig!

The King isn't dead -- at least that's what T.I. is saying in a new online video, his first "public" comments since being placed under house arrest.


In a videotaped statement on StreetCred.com, a robed T.I. defends himself against weapons charges, saying, "I look forward to being exonerated on all charges ... I can't stress that enough to ya, ya dig."

T.I. is under home confinement while awaiting trial and is under 24-hour monitoring. He requested to hold Thanksgiving at his house, but withdrew his request after getting negative feedback.

31. Oh yeah, one more thing. It wasn't very long ago that we heard the same professions of innocence like "just wait until all of the facts come out. I'm innocent" were coming out of another Atlanta THUG Michael Vick's mouth. I can't remember, what happened to Vick? Was he found innocent? SSDT

40. JamieNTexas= LOSER! ok you think people are racists because of TMZ? that's like me saying i think all stupid people are stupid because of YOU. What an ignorant thing to say! WOW! Obviously the poeple sticking up for this thug are going to be just as IGNORANT! & it has nothing to do with the fact he's a "rapper". He's a celebrity therefore he's in the public eye. Now this is all cause he's black? No, its because he's a criminal sweetie. If anyones rasict here, it's you. Go play your rasict card somewhere else!..It's not working here honey

41. First off... one of the first things a lawyer tells a client is KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. I could care less if T.I. is white or black. Race has nothing to do with it. But I see here on TMZ there is ALWAYS someone that has to throw the race card in. Wow.... house arrest must be real hard in a multi-million dollar home. I'm innocent, I'm innocent I tell you. I find it funny that for someone who doesn't have much RESPECT for the law is now crying to the law to get his behind out of trouble. How do you explain buying machine guns and silencers??? Huh? Huh? Oh that's right he was going to go deer hunting this season. Can ya dig it?

42. LOVE, love, love TI. If he says he is innocent, I believe him! Nothing like a man with a sweet southern drawal!

43. It's kind of cool how in America nothing "american" actually means anything. No freedom of speech, no freedom of expression, damn sure no "innocent until proven guilty"...Whether TI was aware of this gun thing or not, the fact is he is a platinum selling artist who gets a tremendous amount of attn and also threats. His bodyguards have a right to protect him. If you saw him on Punk'd you'd actually know how he feels about the whole gun thing in general. All of you who have no idea who he is are apparently not too keyed into pop or hip hop culture as he is one of the top selling hip hop artists as well as collabed with pop stars including your gf and daughters favorite, Justin Timberlake. You guys are dubbing him a thug? You guys didnt even dub Dog the Bounty Hunter a thug when he's the one who has been to jail for murder and didnt take care of his children emotionally or financially...oh yeah but Dog is white, no such thing as a white thug huh? T.I. is ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE EMPOWERING THE COMMUNITY....this comes from donating $50,000 to the katrina relief, his own Foundation dedicated to helping underpriveleged youth, as well as a hosts of other charity events and fundraisers. You guys are so quick to judge black people and heaven forbid theyre a rapper. He has made mistakes, so have all of us but i guarantee you 3/4 of you havent bothered donating your money or time to anything besides YOURSELVES.

44. by the way, it would be cool if just for ONCE, a story about a black person didnt include the typical N****ER comment.....it doesnt matter whether it's Kanye West's mom, a rapper or Oprah....theres always going to be the racists comments.....you people sicken me seriously........hey you all have a righ to express yourselves online considering how cowardly you are in everyday society.
