Talking T.I.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Alright let’s talk T.I. — the elephant NOT in the room at tonight’s BET Hip-Hop Awards Show, airing at 8 p.m. .
In case you haven’t heard, hours before the ceremony was taped at the Atlanta Civic Center, the Atlanta rapper-actor was arrested blocks away from the venue for illegally buying machine guns.
Did it surprise you that a guy with seemingly everything going for him - millions in record sales, an upcoming movie with Oscar winners Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, and a leading 9 BET Hip-Hop Award nominations that same evening - would find himself in trouble again? Or is this what you expected from a convicted felon who talks gunplay often in his records? Then again, in real life, he could be very, legitimately fearful after his best friend Philant Johnson was killed in front of him in a drive-by shooting. Reason enough, in your opinion, to take such extreme measures to secure yourself and your family?
