Let me first say that I am agaist this “No Snitching” ridiculousness in certain situations but what that bodyguard did was wrong. In his defense though, I bet those detectives and investigators used all kinda tactics and threats against him that forced him to do that to Tip. These feds are RUTHLESS!

I would snitch in a hurry against someone I didn’t know or who hasn’t done anything for me, but I can honestly and truly say that I would take the fall for a friend, family, or someone that’s helped me out. I would plead the 5th on them for real. The time or punishment the bodyguard would have gotten would be waaay less than what TI might get. They might even just gave that bodyguard probation or something.

Family over feds…I’m sorry.

ps.aint the feds something? planning the arrest on the day of the bet awards to prove a point! they could have gotten him at home why embarrass the ish out of him and degrade them in this manner. I guess I sould expect this from the feds though! those mfs broke in my house 1 year after my dude started his bid and he is sittin for 30 and they didn’t get sh** cause I didn’t have sh**! that’s what them bastards get-nothing plus lost god knows how much in manhours watching him for 5 years and didn’t confiscate sh** cause we didn’t have sh**!

The bodyguard is made to be the “bad person”. Perhaps he was under duress. He know he’s in trouble, why should he trust an ex-con to be his shelter when the ish hits the fan? So, he had to speak up to save himself..hell I would have. Why should TI be free and out on the streets enjoying life why the he sits in the pen? I don’t have any sympathy for any of them..not even Tiny. She’s dumb enough to let a man take her there

Chamillionaire said it best. Hip Hop Police is wa-tch-ning!

@ # 33 that doesnt make any damn sense! why the hell would he wanna keep his ass at home all the time. And i understand why he would keep weapons…His friend just got shot not too long ago…and because of his past and because of the businees he’s in..he has to keep something on him. But the story sounds real funny to me…i don’t think its completely true…but I do believe the thing about his bodyguard bein a snitch…he snitched on t.i. to help himself out, which that just shows he obviously wasn’t loyal. But I am pissed he got arrested! i love me some t.i. lol….hopefully it will work out in the end tho!

When are my people going to learn you cant do the things you to do. You made it you dont have to cut corner anymore. I thought TI was good. Why in the hell would he do that. Tiny if you are reading, “That ride or die Babymamma chick shit” is play out. It is not cool for your babies to see you on TV going to jail. Get it together Boo Boo. Do the JLo. 5-10 is not cool. AND THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE. IT’S A REASON WHY THEY DONT LET FELONS HAVE GUNS. FYI THE ATF IS ON POINT ALL OVER THE SOUTH. SO STOP WHAT YOU DOING, OR GET YOUR GAME TIME.

“pretteyeyez”

Could he be “SET UP” if he never bought the guns? The answer is NO, stop trying to take the heat off of T.I, not just you but others who are saying things sound shady too.

Between haters and the streets, these rappers have to protect themselves. (ie Biggie, Pac, Souljah Slim, etc). This dude got a record so he can’t get registered. It ain’t like TI is going to go around trying to find someone to kill. His career is going too good.

I honestly believe he has those guns to protect himself and his family.

I agree w/ 83….T.I. aint just tryna shoot people up for the heck of it…hes doing it for his own protection

I agree with you Vito, but this ex-con was paying his ass. If he risks himself to take a bullet for TI, surely he could have tooken the fall for him too.

vito,
he knew damn well he was in trouble when he took his dumb as down there and asked that stupid ass question to the legal dealer. if he was an experienced criminal, or street smart he would have had someone go for him since he is so scary. next, the more I look at this, the more I think he is a pun the feds may have put in the organization to set tip up. because no way in hell tip would send a pussy to the gun store for him! yep, this don’t sound right! yep, the arrest on bet award night is too convenient! yep this is a rat planted by the feds. some lil punk they had a lil something on some lil petty charge and they convinced him to do this! a lil of it may be true but I bet this is an infiltrated rat. don’t think for one minute the feds don’t have some lil punks they pay to get inside dirt done in the rap game for them. look out boys! check any “new” tag alongs or “friends” that get introduced to you and damn sure don’t take them in as roadies! stick with who u have known for years, the ones that was in the fire with u and pay them damn good! they’ll b loyal to u. get rid of the extra weight asap!

I’m getting tired of people taking up this stupid muthafuka. Guns do not protect you from shit. If people would live their lives right there wouldn’t be a reason for you to have a gun.

The body guard is trifling by setting him up like that, he could have not went along with it because the crime was committed when the exchange was completed, so he could have said that TI changed his mind or something to get out of it. What charges was the cops holding over his head to make him set up TI like that??? TI can’t legally protect himself from the nuts in the streets from his past because of a past cocaine conviction that classified him as a felon, at least that is what I read about him. I still think its crap to be classified as a felon for cocaine but not so easily for heroine. We all know why the law has that discrepancy.

DANG T I, U R SCREWED! I LOVE U BABY, GUESS I’LL JUST HAVE 2 CHARGE IT 2 DA GAME!

I just want to know what he needed all of those guns for. Who is he arming himself for? What is he involved in besides music? Who is he running from? Why is he so afraid?

forget all that I just said, obviously didn’t read the timeline and that the bodyguard was arrested from buying the machine gun and told everything but I still standby the last part about the felony charge. I’m just glad their kids were not with them. There goes another one of our stars.

I don’t blame that bodyguard…look at Diddy and his rapper friend who is still in jail while Diddy azz on Forbes list. Bottomline T.I. used bad judgment especially if this dude just start working for him 3 months ago. I mean T.I. shouldn’t expect loyalty from that dude after that short period of time. Obviously T.I. never saw an episode of The Wire, never talk on the phone (LOL). Tiny what can I say. This is a good example for the young girls that love the thugs, don’t look so cute and so much fun now azz handcuffed on the sidewalk, smdh…

still in shock…….gon’ wait for the official story to come out.

This really sounds like a bad setup, but I’ve said it before……he appeared to be one of the more smarter rappers.

Money doesn’t buy class or common sense. Damn shame! They need to just walk away from all that ignorant pimp/gangsta bullish and be somebody, using the talent God gave them for good and create a better environment for their children.

Damnnnn T.I.,damn.

Damn, lost my comment!

87. But yea, I wish guns weren’t in existence at all! This world would be so much better, but unfortunately this is the real world. Even if TI stood up and said “Ok, I’m no longer using guns or living by them”, he still would have a bullet with his name on it.

I bet you every politician, corporate big-head, athlete and entertainer have a gun of some sort out of protection.

@ ULUVIT I hope what your saying is true. Damn I like T.I., thats some fucked up shit! You can’t trust anyone, you hear me, anyone!!!!!!!!!!

That aint Young Dro in the black shirt, sittin on the curb.

I get what your saying #96, maybe he should have gotten a bullet proof vest instead of some guns.

Dag! Why he had to put my girl Tiny into this! She already had a miscarriage. And wasn’t he just on BET about Hip Hop Vrs. America? See this is what we are talking about right now and then when we confront the rappers they don’t know anything.

TI gets caught with more than 10 guns and people stick up for him and cry foul???
GTFOH, i for one have no sympathy for him, Silencers?? wtf? thats cold even for protection, more like planning murder.

TI was defending hiphop just last week, and he has brought it down the next. And if i was the bodyguard facing 30 years and they told me if i snitched i’d only do 5……………………IMA SNITCH ON A NIGGA

besides its not that bad Clifford Harris will do half the time, i mean since theres two of them T.I and T.I.P they can share the time ha ha

i will leave you with some TIP lyrics:

I bet you *****z think I’m livin it up
Til you see polices laughin as they pickin me up
Went from seeing how many bitches I could fit in the truck
To three hots and a cot, is you kiddin or what?
Fuck how many millions I got, *****, so what if I’m hot
When I got prices on my head, feds rushin my spot
A million haters want me dead, forced to carry a gat
“But you’s a seven-time felon, what you doin wit that?”
It’s a Catch-22, either you lose or you lose
That’s the way the game structured, for real, *****z to suffer
And I ain’t neva been a buster, always stood on my feet
Like a man prepared to take whatever coming for me
A pussy ***** or polices with a warrant for me
I’m a G, prepared to die for what’s important to me
Look anybody in the eye who say he want it wit me
Put up the house and bet the odds if it’s comin from me
Ol G’s say I need to learn to be patient
You telling me with these seven years of probation
Pistol charges and a host of other open cases
If *****z only knew the kind of time I was facin
I try to keep it to myself, but sometimes I couldn’t take it
Got four kids, the smiles on they faces
Mean more to me than my crown and my bracelet
Take that away from me, and my life is butt naked

WOW, that is just sick. Tiny must be a “ride or die” cause the thought of being handcuffed on the corner is making my stomach turn right now….I just ain’t never been that chick. DAMN!

You gonna have fans near his house with “Free T.I.”, “THE FEDS HATE BLACK PEOPLE!!” with a picture of Michael Vick and T.I. , or “STOP SNITCHIN!!” T-shirts.

Yanoo.. everything comes in threes.. my bet is that Young Jeezy (shoot maybe even Bow Wow) is next to get some charges.

I still couldn’t help LOL@#17 it reminds me of Chris Rock’s How NOT to get your A$$ kicked by the police PSA.

that messed up alot people has paid out there money to see him in concert in Champaign IL now the concert is off i know tiny is very embarassed for the simple fact she is in jail in behind a stupid mistake her man made along with his buddies hope all is well for all of them grand hustle for life

i can understand Tiny having the posession of marijuana but ecstacy? what the hell was she doing with that?

Ole Schooler—-I am with you….this is strictly some bs…..as much as I love TI for his grand hustle and thug appearane…he was stupid not to ask his bodyguard questions on the delivery….there are a lot of shady ass holes who want to be in the game….but don’t want to follow the rules……even thought Tiny has always appeared to be a gold digger I hope she is really a part of the game and can hold her own through this ordeal with TI and take care of business. Hopefully he has taught her better b/c it looks like he had too much faith in a snitch…..I hope he get ragged in the butt when the jailers find out about the snitch. This is so crazy…..one more thing….I wonder what Steve Harvey got to say now with his hipcritical self. He boost TI up and talk about how much he admires this “cat” and that he is true to the game….now what……what does he have to say now. We all fall short!

I dont care that he was buying a machine gun or a silencer because depending on the make of the guns they are not illegal in most states and silencers definitely are not illegal in most states.

However he broke the law because he is a felon trying to buy guns and doing it the way someone planning on committing illegal acts with the weapons would.He is in jail by his own hand not someone else’s so their should be no pity for idiotic celebs. They keep knowingly breaking the law when there really isn’t any excuse for it all besides their own arrogance.

Come on my people, leave that “conspiracy ish” in the toilet. The boy got caught doing dirt point blank. We need to stop defending crime for real.

I can see if he had one two, but this boy was running a gosh darn arsenal in his crib. You knbow how dangerous that is especially if you got youngins around. What was he thinking????

DAYUM, thats messed up. I hope he learned his lesson.

Tiny looks a mess, but she is stranding by her man. I guess thats why he’s with her

I really don’t understand the “set up” comments. If my dumb as$$ plans to rob a bank, and the cops find out, and make it so they can catch my a$$ doing it….are they “setting” me up? Or illuminating my ignorance? I think the whole “catch people doing wrong Ish” is part of their job description……???? NO?

Jesus be a brain transplant cause his head is full of rocks….he shoulda’ been buying a book…..The history of the penal system…..Crimes and Misdemeanors…something….

I think we need to hear the whole story from ALL SIDES. Just bcuz they are the feds dont mean they’re not human…EVERYONE makes mistakes. How many innocent ppl are in prison now, or have been executed in this country?!!?!?! TI deserves a fair trial just like any1 else.

I still dont get the buyin stuff from a licensed dealer w.o a license?!?!

And ppl have guns tho they have kids…I’m sure they were outta reach from all his chilren.

I would bet good money that bodyguard was wearing a wire .If those were not Ti’s gun he would’ve responded as such he wouldn’t have responded by wanting details .

~”When the bodyguard explains the function of one silencer, Harris says, “No flash, no bang.” Harris also asks about ammunition, the capacity of the magazine and about “change left over” from the $12,000″~

They have him on tape because a bodyguards word would never be enough to convict him of something involving a cash buy.

Why is everything a set up?

First off, nobody is saying that TI is God or that he is incapable of making mistakes, but if your best friend got murdered cold blooded in front of you what would you do? He probably needs silencers because hes not supposed to have guns period, and without them theres the possibility of witnesses and such… I am in no way saying that he is innocent, because he’s not, but people are crazy and he needs to protect himself and the people surrounding him! Is that so wrong? Come on, we all know he aint goin around killin folks, hell, he’s barely in Atlanta!

And @ #33, TI shouldnt have to stay at home because of his celebrity! He should be able to party and have fun too without having to worry about crazy ass niggaz wanting to prove themselves shooting their cars up! Its a crazy world, and you dont know who to trust

FREE TIP!!

Yeah, it’s all an elaborate set up and dumb-o fell for it. Anyway, back to @69. The terrorist that you really need to worry about is the young black man with a gun.

Just Stupid

ACCORIDING TO AN ATLANTA NEWSPAPER… Tiny was arrested for possesion of ecstacy and marijuana.

Tiny is a weed smoking, pill poppin chick. That is not a good look for a 32 year old mother of two. Instead of running behind T.I all the time, she needs to be home with her children. I mean I liked the fact that they are always together, but you see where that lifestlye of partying and drugs get you……….Locked the hell up.

She is out of jail BTW

As far as T.I. you can take the Ni@!% out of the hood but you can’t take the hood out of the Ni@!% . He will get off. He has money, they always do, well except Michael Vick LOL

AND ALL YA’LL WHO ARE SAYING THAT TINY NEEDS TO LEAVE HIM ALONE ARE FAIR WEATHER FRIENDS: YOU CANT JUS BE DOWN FOR SOMEONE THRU THE GOOD TIMES AND NOT THE BAD…

AND ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THAT BODY GUARD NEEDS TO GO INTO WITNESS PROTECTION ASAP CUZ I KNOW ITS A HIT ON HIS ASS…

for all these people in here alkig abojut T.I. needed to protect himself what the fuck would this nigga need automatic weapons with sileners on them for. he is not fidel castro , the president doesnt even use that kind of protection. People are just stans is what it is , so much so they cant admit wrong is wrong. they know if he had them kind of weapons he was doin somthing WRONG , up to no damn good and gthats what happens. Snitchin my ass. thats why black folks aint got no where headed now, the ones that made something of them selves refuse to do right, aint that a bitch.

Why would the bodyguard ask a licensed gun dealer about buying unregistered machine guns??? That shit makes NO sense at all. There are other bits and pieces to the story that just don’t add up. With a good attorney, he’ll be alright, but he might have to do a little time.

I am with everyone who said wtf@protection…

Machine guns and silencers…knowing u have a record…get fuckin real

In case it hasn’t been figured out..this is why he is with Tiny. She knows about all his dirt and put herself and her children in the shyt. She looks like a dumb ass right along with him for this nonsense.

I heart TI and he has been through some much since his bow died. I hope he learns from this watch da ppl around u.

I don’t feel sorry for T.I. He needs to get it together! Anywho, off the topic, what does SMH mean?

shaking my head

Poor T.I why did he do that.

SMH means Shakin my Head

If you faced possible jail time, or essentially was sick of your lover being arrested all the time, you’d leave too. Love is not always enough.

i don’t feel sorry for T.I. I don’t at all… well that is if he is in fact guilty.

Speaking of that hip hop summit thing he did with BET, this whole situation reminds me of what that one journalist said (the one with locks) about how “real” is this so-called “thug life” (and yes, that’s what it is!) 2 or 3 records after one’s debut? Why do they have to keep talking about it? Or [claim to] live it?

See some people (if T.I. is guilty, case in point) just are ignorant and don’t want to better themselves. Really don’t want to live a better life. Really do want to contribute to the corruption of our community. Screw the idea of being black and a felon, I’m tired of these freaking excuses as to why one keeps getting in trouble… some people are just BAD!

Where at the children? I am so taken back, that the ATF went gorrilla syle and arrested everybody. This is…idk, SCS! My prayers go out to their family.

TI IS AN ASS WIPE. FUCK HIM!!

Sooooooooooo tired of the ignorant,irresponsible,violent conduct of these rappers…WTF???? I mean did his role in american gangsta go to his damn head?

what the hell was t.i bout to do with all that dam firepower, sound like he bout to start a war. life does not have to imitate art! poor thing…. when will my black brothers learn?

Wow ppl need to chill were you there. no soo dont judge T.I you dont even know if they were his soo f@#k off and stop hatin!!! Reppin the ATL!!!!

It’s unfortunate for the children to endure. My heart goes out to them all. It’s a world some artist (R&B / Hip Hop alike) live in and I believe that his life is always at risk due to the nature of the business. Honestly, they should release Tiny and drop charges (if any). TIP is between a rock and a hard place. I hope the best for he and his family!

There is no man worth doing time away from kids!

Sorry But that’s not Young Dro in the black tee shirt and that is not Mac Boney but that is C-Rod another member of Grand Hustle.

I’m not bout to be one this folks talkin bout he’s innocent. But I will say that the Feds are doing everything they can to take these popular brothers down. Vick, Wayne, T.I. T.I. is doing big things for his community regardless of the bullshit that he got himself into. Ponit blank, he’s threat to white folks. Hope he got a good ass lawyer.

Damn T.I. You didnt need no guns homey ,what the fuck !

this isn’t a racist issue. white, black, yellow, green, you do the crime and gamble with doing some time..

The bodyguard is going to do time, he just got a lesser sentence by letting in on what the real plans were. This is no set up, get real people. You think the ATF in atlanta have nothing to do but bust some local rapper for some random azz charges? It’s not all about keeping people down, be it rich, famous, or even black. Get over yourself.

He is a felon. He is a rapper. He slings out tracks about a lifestyle. It’s no secret to ANYONE, unless they are deaf or living under a rock that hip hop IS a portrayal of a thug and criminalistic lifestyle.

He got the guns for obvious protection, why he needed more, I don’t know, but having a friend killed in a club sucks, but he’s got bodyguards, why did he have to go about it this way? Why not be a stand up person, hire legit bodyguards, not your boys from hood, and allow them to carry a piece legally.. Oh wait, thats too friggin’ hard isn’t it.

This is so freaking….. depressing.

Wow you guys actually got some pics, now. I was already in a state of shock from the first post and all that was said, but this is still more of the same I see. I still like T.I. music but this was just RiDAMNdiculous on his part. Even if he had beef that required weapons that is why you hire Bodyguards that are not felons so they can carry loaded weapons to protect you and your family. Then look at the guns he was purchasing come on yall this sh*t is crazy. There’s no excuse.

Damn Look at Tiny getting cuffed, why the hell did she even come with him to do some dumb mess like that?!

That doesn’t look like Dro to me?…

I am so sad that my beau is back in jail!!!!!! He didn’t even get to accept all his awards at the BET Hip Hop Awards…are the awards even worth watching now that i know he wasn’t there,no performance,nothin!
I just feel that any way possible the FEDS will try to keep a successful young black man down! Saying that they finally have him in custody and off the streets…and the body guard,don’t get me started!
Dang Tip,couldn’t Tiny have just got them in her name? Or at least someone you know and trusted that wouldn’t sing the moment ATF showed up. He wouldn’t have gotten serious time cuz he’s not a felon,but u baby…yea you are.
Let me know next time,i got yo back HUBBIE!!!!LOL,
FREE TIP! FREE TIP! FREE TIP! FREE TIP! FREE TIP! FREE TIP! FREE TIP! FREE TIP! FREE TIP! FREE TIP! FREE TIP! FREE TIP! FREE TIP! FREE TIP! FREE TIP!

Yo! Nicky….comment#2. Forget about trusting people..why the hell does he need a machine gun for? TI is a hugh star..why the hell is he mixed up in all this $hit. Can take the person out of the getto, but can’t take the getto out of the person. I don’t feel sorry for him he and his whole crew should get what they deserve. Preaching to kids to stay out troulbe and look what he’s into..come on what kind of example is that? Wasn’t he in jail a few years back..you thing he learned his lesson

he was tryna get somebody…

Sandra…how would I know what he needed all that stuff for? Yea,probably was trying to get somebody???N everybody who getts arrested aint ghetto! I think if you aint got nothin nice to say,don’t say anything at all! (This makes Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan GHETTO also,huh?) Say,just stay off the site and comment page cuz this is reserved for fans,not HATERS!!!!!!!!

I am one if TI biggest fans i follow everything he does and i think he need to fire whoi ever told on him and kick his ass

hold ya head up tip and stay handlin ya bizness

I love T.I. and always will. I will support him the way I supported Michael Vick. I don’t give a damn if T.I. wallpapered his house with guns and bullets…..its his dang money! But, the only thing T.I. is guilty of, just like Vick, is trusting everybody. Black people listen up: these wh. folks are taking us one by one….Vick and now T.I……make your own conclusion.

YOU JUST CAN’T TRUST! PERIOD!

What happened to the other body guard before july, He was set up and the body guard did it.

@ 139: “hip hop is a portrayal of a thug and criminalistic lifestyle”… PLEASE learn your hip hop history from the origin! What a generalist statement, clearly you are not aware of the variety of hip hop music as a whole…get your mind right ASAP
