A federal judge ordered rapper T.I. released on $3 million bond today, but he must remain in home confinement while he awaits trial on weapons charges. U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman said the singer must remain under house arrest at a home in Henry County. He wasn’t more specific about the location.
T.I. (real name: Clifford Harris) will be monitored 24 hours a day by a private monitoring service that he must pay for. He’s restricted to the home except under certain circumstances, including medical appointments and court appearances. He cannot own any firearms and cannot have contact with any witnesses or informants in the case.
Noting that T.I has a team of highly qualified attorneys, the judge said: “You shouldn’t do anything that will undermine their ability to represent you.” Defense lawyer Ed Garland argued that based on the amount of money being put up, there’s no reason not to release his client.

I hope the dream team he ensembled keep doing a good job.
What a waste of 3 mill–dayumn!!!
LMAO@Mrs Sands, you are so right. T.I. while you at home let yo kids know you love them cause they might be seeing you for a while unless they visting you in prison and you sitting behind glass.
A lot happens between arrainment and the opening statements. Lets all hope for the best.
*might not
dammm 3 mill….that a first for me… i never heard so much for jail.
Well, let’s be real…if he were a WHITE celeb and not a rapper – would his bond be so high? Or is it because he’s a convicted felon? It sucks that we as a people make huge amounts of money and then fuck it off by having to pay rich white lawyers and bailbondsmen…Will we ever learn that YT folks DO NOT LIKE US? The harder they can make us fall and laugh the better they feel. That is y we gotta stop hatin’ on each other and embrace each other an STICK THE FUCK TOGETHER! Every race does it but us…what’s up with that? We have worked too hard and come to far to keep on being treated like second class citizens. But then again we do some dumb shit like have our bodyguards buy machine guns and silencers…WTF, he was planning on killin somebody, prolly the guy or guys who killed his buddy. IM JUST SAYIN YALL….Let’s get it together!
damn 3 million dollars do you kno wut i can do wit thazt money hopefully he learns from this lesson
he better bring it cause they ain’t playing
They way he “make it rain” that 3 mil is nothing. No sympathy here.
Glad that he is out for now, and can hopefully get to the bottom of this mess.
I continue to pray for him and family… esp. the children -
I know he and his family are breathing a sigh of relief-(for now). Hopefully they will be praying about the rest,because is up to the Lord to work out this mess! Glad to know he’s home.
GO GO GO GO GO HEAD! TIP PLEASE ACT LIKE U GOT SOME SENSE NOW, KEEP GOD IN YA LIFE, ENJOY YA FAMILY, AND KEEP FAKE NIGGAZ OUT YA CIRCLE, YA UNDERSTAND!
WHO CAREEEEEEEEEEES! I sure as hell don’t. **YAWN**
There is more important news going on: LIKE CALIFORNIA BURNING DOWN
Cali is burning due to an arsonist or terrorist…I lived in San Diego 8 yrs and we NEVER got blaze like that….NEVER!! That mess is no accident, yall.
I think he’s learnt his lesson for sho now….no doubt about it
AMEN AMEN AMEN AMENNNNNNNNNNN # 10! THAT’S THE SAME THING IM SAYIN~! PREACH ON MY SISTA FOR REAL!
Hallelujah Hollarback.
He will get the $3M back after the trial rather he is guilty or innocent. It’s just a bail. And he has a very good chance of beating this case. The case has several “holes” and with issues that the public isn’t hearing. For now, let’s not pass judgement and just let the legal system run it’s course.
well this is only the beginning people don’t get all excited yet. He has to go to trial still. Lets see if that 3 million was well spent.
TI is a dumd ass negro for that. Wtf are you buying some guns like that. I mean, maybe he don’t make money with his music, maybe he has to hustle on the street, and maybe they going to find that he has a huge deal of cocaine or whatever. I mean, I don’t understand blacks, the only person we show to the world to represent us are stupid, illiterate and ghetto as hell!!!!!!!!!
Thank god for givin us some Oprah or Denzel
I still think he was setup.
LOL@17, AND WHAT ABOUT 11 YEAR OLD GIRLS RECIEVING BIRTH CONTROL AT SCHOOL? W/OUT PARENTS CONSENT? AM I DA ONLY 1 MAD ABOUT THAT? BUT THIS IS AN ENTERTAINMENT BLOG I GUESS, LOL, WE R TRULY LIVING N THE LAST AND EVIL DAYS. LATER DUDES!
HALLELUJAH!!!!!! I really don’t know what to say about this situation. I wish and hope for nothing but the best, but damn he has so much against him.
Besides the guns being a really huge thing against him is that he is a black man and a rapper, and “AMERICA’ would love to make a example out of him by lockin’ him up.
Its hurts to see a black man get locked up when things are going so good for them, everything is in their favor, and poof its gone…thats a sad thing to see.
OH MY PO T.I…all I can say is Keep God First
I think if he wins the case, he gets the money back…
If he’s get off, he better go to chuuuuuuuuuurch!
I really don’t know how to feel yet. I will wait for the trial and hear all the evidence, because if he did it set up or not then he is just dumb in my book but if he is truly innocent then I would like to see him cleared of these charges. Right now I’m on the fence about T.I. Either he keep this fan or lose a fan when it comes to me.
It’s bail. You get it back as long as you don’t skip town. I’m sure it’s a drop in the bucket for him.
OJ started the fires in Cali.
No sympathy here for Tip. Sorry. You’re a convicted felon who’s on the fast track with a budding acting career, a new album, a new baby on the way and you still feel the need to carry a magnum and some sawed-offs? WTF are YOU doing wrong. Ask yourself that Tip.
I swear, you can take the Nigga out the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out the Nigga.
It shouldn’t matter if he is white black asian or jamaican. What you all are failing to realize is the TIP has 7 count them SEVEN FELONY CONVICTIONS. I would be surprised if the feds don’t throw the book at him! He was super stupid to buy the guns himself. He can post a $3 mil bond….why couldn’t he get one of his Bankhead home boyz to ride for him? It just doesn’t make sense, I place him in the same boat with Vick…they are DUMB & DUMBER! Throwing away struggles and dreams for what guns?
10 gimmie a fucking break,,,
Dang TIP had to pay alot of $$$$ to get out. When it comes down to it you’ll pay whateva for your freedom. TRUST ME I KNOW, and if your reading this STAY LEGIT!!
Time to start grindin T.I., A-Town still got yo back shawty…
Glad he’s out. I hate he won’t be in Birmingham, AL this weekend.
Three mil could help me put a foot in the student loan people’s ass.
OK that’s TOO DAMN MUCH if he does get a guilty sentence. If he did the crime, SMH. What need is there to do this ignorant shit?? His life is made, with a highly successful career, and enough money for the time being. Wake up people, we need to stop this. He is perpetuating an image of black people, which the white media will swoop down on, like vultures eyeing some fresh carcass.
TIP could very-well become one of those rappers who don’t learn the value of savings and investments! Just cause ure getting hit records, doesn’t mean it’s gonna secure you for-life. You’ve gotta be smart with your money–that is, DON’T SPEND ON UNECESSARY SHIT!! And in TIP’s case, potentially firearms.
I’m so sick of the justice system and the BS they be dishin’ out. That is so fowl.
if yall wanna talk about the fire take your ass to CNN.com I don’t give a frogs fat ass if yall sensitive asses get mad at my comments
NOW….
Why T.I gotta be released on 3million dollar bond if that was a white man he would been released within 2 days 800 dollars LMAO

PREACH SISTER!!
Am I the only one who finds it kind of hypocritical that a large number of people here and elsewhere condemn Brandy, yet come out in force, to rally and support this dude?? B would never do this shit, and she ain’t ignorant and isn’t pushing stereotypes about our people like this guy.
Thank God!
God Bles Tip & His Family
No disrespect but how are you going to call somebody DUMB but cannot spell it correctly also what type of nigga doesnt own a gun, knife, pepper spray in their home though T.I. is HUMAN we all are we make mistakes hopefully he will learn from this
So I am from Atlanta and TRUE story…I saw a white MINI-VAN with homemade writings on the window reading the following messages…” Free T.I. ASAP” and “Bring Him Out”…WTF? Lady looked about 50 and had that nonsense on her van. But at least T.I gets to be home with his kids who knows how long this “freedom” will last! Damn there is nothing like fame and money!
^^^@Brittanybeauty, Brandy made a mistake too, with that car accident, but why do some people on here call her a murderer??!! Maybe if there were tougher laws in this nation about weapons and firearms, people wouldn’t be carrying around that shit!!
This government is so fucked up and contradictory. It tries to preach morality (eg with tougher laws in certain states for abortion), but is more than liberal when it comes to possessing guns. Please
T.I. is a DUMBASS….
they need to give him a long ass sentence to set a good examples to these other wannabe ganstas out here…..
You guys his bond was 3MIL. He only had to pay 10% of that to get out, which is $300K. Which still is a lot of money, chump change for T.I. However, its certain he will be out of a lot more, with court and lawyer fees, after its all said and done.
This blog is HELLA funny.. but um, let’s hope he’s not left in his house to ROTT b/c ya’ll know how long it took R Kelly to finally get his trial started.. TIP might be as old as CIARA when they finally decide to select the damn jury!
#26… I think its a good thing because there are too many parents letting BET, MTV, radio, etc. raising their children, so why stop it there….I dont think the gov’t would allow this to happen if parents were more involved…but there not,
I am a parent myself and I see nothing wrong with schools giving students birth control….If your a good parent who actually talks to your child and spend time with them then whats the problem…the ones who are worried are the ones who dont trust their children and they dont trust them because they know they didnt raise them right.
Its not mandatory for the children to take the birth control its just being offered to those who feel they need it….I do feel however, that they need to make it madatory to take a sex edu class on STD’s, Pregnancy, Abstinence, Drugs/Alcohol, b4 given the pills….
#BRITTAN BEAUTY
I am sorry, I am not american I am french but your right, I should check my spelling before. Anyway, America is one of the only place in the world (almost) people own guns like they have jeans so maybe to you this is normal. But There is a difference and I am sure you can understand between owning a gun for self defense and having your bodyguard buy guns and silencers and everything. You may understand why people and the judge can think it is suspect right? And people make mistake but this is mistake from stupid dude that ‘s it
And Oh, he’s for sure going to prison b/c they actually caught that fool showing up personally to do the exchange.. WTH?? It’s officially a wrap!.. he’s gone be makin records from a prison phone from now on… I LOVE TIP but that was a dumb move..He’s ballin, he should of went “Hollywood” and hired some real security/secret service agents like 50 cent if he’s fearin for his safety like that.. real talk!
I’m glad he’s out. Blame it on T.I.P.
MORE IMPORTANT SHIT IN THE WORLD THAT AN IDIOT WHO IS A MILLIONARE AND A CONVICTED FELON TRYING TO BUY MACHINE GUNS AND SILENCERS…LIKE CALIFORNIA IS BURNING, GEORGIA IS IN A DROUGHT, IRAQ, IRAN, AND PLENTY OTHER SHIT…IF ONLY PEOPLE CARED 50% WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT THIS CASE TO OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES PRESSING IN THE WORLD…PRIORITIES, PRIORITIES. HOPE THIS TEACHES NOT ONLY T.I. BUT OTHER DUMB ASSES THAT YOU CANT GO AROUND DOING ILLEGAL SHIT BECAUSE THE LAW WILL EVENTUALLY CATCH YOUR ASS!
And the problem is that we say, this is not normal. I mean, how can you legitimate to have a gun when you see all that happens in your street and say people make mistake!! Guns should be prohibited and reserved to some people who can use it when necessary. TI is probaby doing a traffic. Are you going to call that a mistake!! Maybe, you would appreciate to have someone you love being shot by this gun and say it is a mistake?!!
That Brandy situation was messed up tho it aint nothing but white people caling her a murderer
and 3 million dollars aint no damn chump change yall T.I. paying for 3 lawyers shit court fees and shit estimate that then he gotta another child on the way Tiny got locked u too she aint got no job she prolly got fees to pay too I been to jail hell I know and im majoring in criminal justice so the system is NOT fair

Why does He saids the SINGER? T.I is a Rapper
Yall got to realize that T.I. is a NIGGA he still got that street spirit in him just like how everybody call keyshia cole GHETTO she from the damn HOOD hell
We black people, with all we suffer from, should be more clever than that and tryin not fall in such situations bekoz we know the white people that judge us are not going to be indulgent. “You know what it is”!!! So why doing that, for money, I thought you were already rich?!!. Sorry but TI, I love you, I wish i could know you more but I guess in 30 years when you get out of jail, you will still be a cuttie but ya ass is gonna be hurt with that nice face!! with all the jealous guys in jail, damn, I fell sorry for you now actually
LMAO@ THAT VIDEO TINY HAPPY CUZ SHE FINNA GET DICKED DOWN TONIGHT
TI NEEDS TO BE LOCKED UP WITH VICK….THEY ARE TWO STUPID AZZ PEOPLE. SMH
NIGGAS need to learn, go to school achieve some career instead of hustling in the streets with guns and drugs. Yeah, slavery is over!!! it’s time for us to shine too, to show we are clever, intelligent, inspired and not stayed in this damn ghetto cliche. Damn, we were a rich and intelligent culture!!! what happens to us!?!
