T.I. Arrested Hours Before Hip Hop Awards


Wowza. TI was arrested on weapons charges this past Saturday.

The 27-year-old was arrested in a city car park on suspicion of collecting machine guns and silencers bought for him by his bodyguard.

Taken into custody, TI was unable to collect his awards at the BET Hip-Hop gala or perform at the show.

T.I must be staying strapped because....

According to court documents filed in Atlanta, following his arrest police found three firearms, one of them loaded, in the car driven by TI.

A police search of his Atlanta home uncovered six weapons in a cupboard, five of them loaded.

The musician's bodyguard said that he had bought nine weapons for him, and the rapper had given him cash to buy guns on four occasions.


TI - real name Clifford Harris - also faces a charge of possession of firearms by a convicted felon, as he has a criminal record.


His arrest follows an ongoing investigation which began earlier this month.


I wasn't even planning on watching that Bet Hip Hop Awards show, but now there is a some anticipation to see how the show comes together in TI's absence.
