Bye Bye, T.I.

T.I.T.I. is going to the pokey for a year and a day.

He has between 30 and 60 days to report to prison.

12. I can't beleive that people on here are excited that a great man like TIP is getting locked up. I mean, what he did was wrong, but he still tried his best to redeem himself and help other kids avoid the situation he is now in. You also have to think of his children, who will be without their father for a year and a day. I am not saying he was right, I'm just saying this isn't a time to celebrate or make jokes, his jail time not only affects him, but affects his family and they people he has touched throughout the years.

13. Well I have to agree that he did step up, did community service and reached out to the disadvantaged. However, along with that, I'm rather sure the documentary of him reaching out via his MTV show came with a big fat paycheck. I don't know what prison he's going to .... and I wonder at this writing if he's going to be segregated or amongst the "regular" population, I would think because of his celebrity status he most certainly would be segregated, so that's some benefit for him. Not that it'll be wine and roses. And who knows....will he have to do a year and a day? Will he get out early for good behavior ??? That's why you let the bodyguards pack the heat T.I. not you LOL.
