Clifford Harris aka T.I was arrested and jailed just hours before he was to receive the award for Album of the Year and perform at the BET Awards on Saturday.

According to various reports, Harris, 27, was charged with two felonies — possession of three unregistered machine guns and two silencers, and possession of firearms by a convicted felon. The ATF executed a search warrant at his home, and according to Atlanta’s FOX 5 News, T.I., remains in custody.

Hassan Musaddiq, a cameraman for the Atlanta public access hip-hop show “Severe Entertainment,” said he was in the Walgreens parking lot and witnessed the arrest. He was there to pick up a video camera for red carpet interviews.

“I saw the ATF come out of nowhere,” Musaddiq said. “They had them all on the ground. At first, I didn’t even realize it was T.I. It was crazy. There was an unmarked black van and then about 10 squad cars came in.”

Mussaddiq says he saw ATF officers take T.I., his longtime girlfriend Tameka “Tiny” Cottle and rappers Mac Boney and Young Dro, who record for T.I.’s Grand Hustle record label into custody as well.

    Its unfortunate, very unfortunate that this whole situation came about, HOWEVER, none of us know what is REALLY going on TI’s life, and why he felt the need to protect himeslf as he did, we can comment all day long about him being rich and not having to do what he did, seeing what his bodyguard did, its obvious that you cannot trust anyone when you are in that particular status. I am not saying what he did is justified, just that its his business and whatever will happen, will happen. I for one think he is a very talented young man and will continue to be a fan of his, regardless.

    #229: It seems as if you have a problem with the South and the success we have achieved over the years……WHY? I think it is very unfortunate that you would love to see a person go down simply because he is from the South and has achieved great fame within the last few years…….at any rate, ratings dont lie…..”YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS”

  10. MSWIN

    It is amazing to me how everybody can turn their back on T.I so fast. Everyone makes mistakes and the full story has not even been published yet. Give the man a chance to tell his side of the story! Keep your head Tip!

  22. Beautiful

    Everything happens for a reason. Don’t question why. God doesn’t make mistakes!!!! However, Humans do. T.I hold your head up and be strong. Life is full of experiences live and learn from them all. T.I will be okay.

    It’s very easy, when you spend any amount of time learning and writing about one area, to focus in on that niche. We may spend most of our waking lives thinking or talking about digital cameras in the dpreview office but it’s worth remembering that there’s a whole world beyond digital cameras – there are camera phones, for example.
