T.I., aka Clifford J. Harris Jr., does not know who filed the motion, according to TMZ.
T.I., a Grammy Award winner, was recently sentenced to return to federal prison for 11 months. He was arrested on drug charges in Los Angeles while still on probation for attempting to buy several illegal weapons from federal officers.
