NEWS: T.I. SENTENCED TO 366 DAYS (UPDATED W/ PICS)

T.I. and Tiny leave press conference at the Richard B. Russell Federal Building Friday in Atlanta.

On Friday, a judge sentenced Clifford ‘T.I.’ Harris to one year and one day in prison and ordered him to pay a $100,300 fine on weapons charges. He also was sentenced to some property forfeiture, supervised release for three years after his prison sentence, 365 days of home confinement (he has already served 305) and 1,500 hours of community service (1,030 served). He must also undergo drug counseling, cannot own firearms and must submit to reasonable searches and a financial audit.


The 28 year-old rapper/actor pleaded guilty last March after being arrested in October 2007 and charged with two felonies — possession of three unregistered machine guns and two silencers and possession of firearms by a convicted felon.

He will have 30-60 days to report to prison, and the sentence of one year and one day could allow him to be released earlier for good behavior, if warranted.

    Y’all ease off Tiny. My woman is not what most would consider pretty, but I know she’ll be down for whatever comes our way.

  2. m

    on ti’s show he said that he would get one year and a day how did he know that before he got sentenced

  3. HappilyMarriedInCali

    Um, you’re suppose to look nice when you go to court #57. I hate to see people going to court with sweat suits on and sh*t. Just ghetto

  4. ImJustSayn

    1st off i am glad that he dont have to go till May thats cool and yea all that extra ish is BULL just another way to keep him down hell he was already on house arrest, papers and did CS why the extra bull… anyway TINY is UGLY as MUTHAFUCKA but i will say that lately she has been dressing better cuz she used to look like HOT BUBBLING GARBAGE but i do agree he could do much better looks wise but how many chicks who look good would really hold him down(i mean i wud tho! lol) look @ Rachel Roy & Dame Dash he married for looks and ass she married for cash the cash is gone & that b^tch calln Tyrone!

  5. Mrs. PT

    LOL.at # 57. i think everyone puts on their sunday best when they go to court. they want to make a good impression…lol… don’t know if it makes much of a difference. Anyway, everyone say that he’s matured. Usually people who are faced with jail time or are serving jail time say a lot of things about how they’ve changed, blah blah blah but the truth comes out after the fact. Hopefully he don’t go back to his old ways because he’d be setting a poor example for his children. WE HAVE TO START THINKING ABOUT OUR KIDS AND HOW OUR ACTIONS MAY AFFECT THEM.

  6. DAREYBUTTER

    I THINK OBAMA SHOULD VISIT T.I. OR PUT HIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE WITH HIM FOR HIS PRISON SENTENCES BECAUSE LORD WE NEED THIS BRIGHT COUSIN TO LIVE LONG AND WHATEVER MADE HIM DO THAT………LEAVE HIM ALONE….LONG LIVE LONG LIVE!

  7. D@ P0p3

    I USE 2 HAVE THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON TINY…WHAT DA FUCK WAS I THINKING???

  8. Rhianna is DUMB!

    Good for him but the men in the pen going love his lil sexy a**!! TIP so fine!

  9. LINDA

    There is know doubt in my mind that TI has learned a lesson. He made a mistake. He has owned up to it. TI you are a good man and GOD is truly going to watch over you and your family. Tiny is a beautiful woman stay strong for your man and your children. GOD is good. TI you stay prayerful because he is truly in the answering business. Know one has to tell you what you did was wrong you’ve owned that ten times over. This will not kill you and your family it will make the bond that you and tiny have stronger. Looking foward to seeing you back with the family real soon don’t count the days just do them. Try not to count the days Tiny as hard as it maybe just count the blessing and TI will be home sooner then you think. See you soon. PS, dont wait out the whole 30 to 60 days before you turn yourself in TI you can do it stay up stay strong. much love. LINDA HARRIS

  10. BigDaddyReg

    #33 MEL He got 366 days, he could easily got 20-30 years if he did not play ball. Plus he is eligible for parole quicker, he will be out faster than Martha Stewart….I hope he stays positive after he gets out, it is a good look for him.

  11. Chan

    I love T.I.!

    *I wish he would’ve bought Tiny an outfit that wasn’t so damn tight, damn the man is at court.

  12. N.J.

    I think he”ll be ok, Everyone sees the progress he has made and je is only 28…there are alot of entertainers well over 40 still not getting the picture.

  13. Ciris

    umm.. is it just me, or is Tiny sooooooooooooooo not hott.. UGH..

  14. Tearose

    TI is a great spirit………..he will go into jail and help to turn those brothers lives around. He will be treated like a king in there………he will come out bigger than he went in!!

  15. keepin' it Positive

    TI may find a better looking girlfriend than mini Mariah in jail. LOL! That chick needs to buy her size. Those buttons are holding on to dear life.

    Anywhooo…Keep TI in your prayers. He has certainly matured and proven himself to be a respectable citizen since the arrest.

  16. Dee

    Tiny…looks….ridiculous

  17. S.C.

    Keep ya head up mayne, everything shall

  18. DivaJr.

    AWWWWWWWWW

    well see ya around tip LOL do ya time dude

  19. S.C.

    And how in the world can he “not” be allowed to own firearms, as long as he lives in the country, he can bear arms, its a right. Felon or not, oh well, the outcome of this verdict is crazy, the 366 days is alright, but everything else…just for being having weapons..PURE COMEDY!

  20. 1*STEP*AHEAD

    ♥♥♥♥♥♥KEEP YOUR HEAD UP TIP..YOU KNOW YOUR ATL PEEPS WILL BE WAITING OUTSIDE THE BUILDING WHEN YOU GET OUT WITH SIGNS & THANGS ♥♥♥♥♥♥

    LEAVE TINY ALONE. THAT’S A REAL WOMAN RIGHT THERE HOLDING HER MAN DOWN & SHE HAS BEEN FOR MANY YEARS.

    THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF “PRETTY” WOMEN WHO ARE ALL ALONE RIGHT NOW.

  21. WebAdmin

    TIP IS A FREE MAN TIL MAY! HE AINT GUILTY ANYWAY, EVERYBODY KNOW THAT OTHER DUDE DID THE SHIT, TIP JUST LOOKIN OUT FOR HIS FOLKS

  22. Zion

    @Oatsunz,

    SNITCH

    366 days for two violent felonies and he was already a convicted felon?? C’mon people. This dude was SINGING!

    And how has he served so much time on house arrest, when I see him at events all the time? LOL or is that the community service he’s supposedly doing?

    This is not a white or black issue, it’s a have vs the have-not issue. If T.I. was broke, he’d be doing like 15 years. Bullshit.

    ——————————————————–

    I agree. It’s just like the whole Chris Brown debacle, if one of my students had beaten someone, he would have been under the jail and the same people looking for excuses for Brown would have said that justice was served. Yes, T.I, has had this trial over his head for how long before he officially got sentenced. One thing we do have in common with the white community is this celebrity – ism disease where we come on blogs and support them no matter what they do.

  23. Queen

    I use to could not stand TI, but know I like him! He has in fact grown a lot! I understand his story more and I love that he televised his community service…Young people like myself need to see this! He really has done positive things we letting the world see his situation….Regardless of what intentions it was for him to do this (not sure publicity stunt to less the sentence), I still think this decision was a win-win! I can wait tiill Tuesday to see the young people he worked with and his final words!

    Side note; I love you ConcreteLoop, but I am guessing that BowWow’s people threw some money at yah to promote the hell out if,lol… Bow is wallpaper?lol… I’m sorry but he is just too much…I can’t believe dude literally thinks that he is similar to TI! Height maybe, light skin okay…but anything else? I dont think so! Unless Bow has been arrested 30+ times, got 5+ kids, and has a history slinging drugs?

  24. Queen

    BTW, yah need to stop hating on Tiny! I love that TI is still with her! She was with him when he was a nobody! None of yah chicks was lookin at TI before the fame and none yah will lookin at him after it either!

  25. Juicy SuperStar

    You live and you learn… I like that he seems to have changed. Cant wait to hear his new CD when he gets out.

    T.I is too fine… thats the best I have ever seen Tiny look…

  26. c-la bayba

    t.i you’ll be alright as long as you have God and tiny(your strong back bone) on your side holding you down from left to right you’ll be oookkkk! (seek god and his kingdom and all shall be added) real joy comes from our father in heaven alwayss remember that.

  32. BkAllDay!!!!!

  33. TASHA

    I WILL KEEP TI IN MY PRAYERS!!! IM GONNA MISS MY DAWG 2 MUCH BUT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WHO MESSES UP, HE HAS TO AND HAS ALREADY LEARNED HIS LESSON. NOW HE HAS 2 DO THA TIME. HE COULDA GOT WAYYYY MORE THAN A YEAR BECAUSE OF THE CHARGES THAT WERE PUT ON HIM, BUT LUCKILY HE ONLY GOT A YEAR AND A DAY. THTZ WHY T.I. DOESENT SEEM 2 UPSET ABOUT THA SITUATION.

A CHANGED MAN!…..AND OF COURSE..THAT NEXT CD IS GON SELL MORE THAN ANY CD THAT HAD BEEN SOLD…..EVEN THE CARTER 3!..LOL

  34. RealFake

    re: 366 days.
    I don’t know if all States are the same but in Florida, up to 365 days is the maxinmum sentence for County Jail where offenders to stay in your city and have fun in their dormitories, talking trash, playing cards, and sleeping. Sentences for State prisons must exceed 1 year – thus it is customary for Judges to impose sentences of 365 + 1 usually to repeat offenders. They are usually transported hundreds of miles away from home making life lonlier since relatives and those money offering hoochie girl-friends often can’t pay many visits. . I don’t know much about the legal system – just pick this up from my always-going-to-jail crack using nephews.

  35. Wes B

    Everybody acting like he going away for 30 years or the electric chair. That man might be out by end of summer for real. He just gotta learn to roll with a better crew that he can semi trust. Im glad that he has a supportive woman behind him because that is hard to find these days. The show on MTV, Im glad it had an impact on some peoples lives hope it continues throughout the nation.

  36. RealFake

    Made some typos above but anyways T.I doesn’t need any one’s tears.
    Done that .. been there before. He’ll be just fine. I think for a n..ger with priors he got off pretty good..

    Plus Tiny can afford those round trip bus tickets for her and the kids. Depending on where he goes, she may also be permitted to bring him a good home cooked meal. After a year of prison, Tiny may have to watch her back for her new buffed and healthy looking man.

  37. Cmeez

    I’m confused as to why he has to forfeit property? What does that have to with possessing weapons? Sounds like a sideways hate move on the rich black man. Just sayin…

  38. Hollywood

    Thanks J. Dakar for the post…. hope he has learned his lesson. love his music! :)

  39. skysound

    poor T.I,i will miss you,i can’t survive without seeing your beautiful face!!!

  40. woop...So vexed

    @ #33 Mel, how is that sentence too harsh, should he have just gotten a community sentence. Heck Keifer Sutherland went to jail for over a month and over Xmas for his DUI. He was lucky. He did get caught buying machine guns, not stealing some alcohol and cereal from the corner shop. If that was some regular guy , they would get 10 years min not 1, even over here with our ridiculous lax judicial system . Doesn’t have anything to do with colour. You get more time for tax offences. It’s not like he admitted it straight away, he changed his plea as a deal was worked out.

    Hopefully this wil be a big lesson for him.

  41. AmericanHaters

    American haters SET YOU UP!

    When u were down in the caribbean singing U KNOW WHAT IT IS, I knew that they were plotting against you out of jealousy.

    Stay with the PEOPLE YOU KNOW and UNDERSTAND. American haters want to take over black america, and steal everything our ancestors fought for, for themselves.

    911 in the black american community. Protect yourself. Say Hi and keep going.

  42. American Haters

    American haters have destroyed or tried to destroy many of our people.

    eddie murphy
    tyrese
    chris brown
    lisaraye
    terry mcmillan
    tyra by naomi campbell
    george foreman
    isaac hayes

    They do the following:
    steal our money
    steal our identities
    steal everything we worked for
    destroy our american families
    ruin our health
    voodoo us to control us
    abandon their american children (do they hate them too?)
    send our american mothers to early graves
    smuggle drugs to poison us with
    teach our teenagers how to sell drugs and set them up for prisons
    destroy our american families with poison
    steal our jobs
    try hard to hate our entertainment community to death
    set our entertainers up for prison
    hate on our entertainers on these blogs
    steal our educational opportunities
    run around and act like white rascist
    Use our men and destroy their lives
    spread AIDS to our men and women
    and Leave their own children fatherless in the black american community.

  43. June

    My whole thing is, what does gun charges, possessing a weapon have to do with financial audits?

  44. Tay

    T. I def got a raw deal with that one his music is going to be crazy when he gets out. He might be the most focused after this

  45. Cinnamon

    the time they gave is nothing compared to what he should of been doing. He could that time on his head..lol!!! Poor tiny I commend her for staying beside him but the stress you can tell has taken a toll on her she looks old. How old is she? She looks about 39.
