After hearing about a man who was threatening to jump to his death in Atlanta Wednesday, rapper/actor Clifford “T.I.” Harris came to the rescue. The star reportedly drove to the scene and offered to help police convince the man not to jump and it worked because the man came down from the ledge.
However, many people are speculating that this was a publicity stunt to garner positive views for him prior to a scheduled court date for his probation violation. The star spoke with v103 denying the publicity stunt claims:
For one, I’m not taking any credit I didn’t do it. I could have just as well came down there and it could have been resolved in another way. The fact of that matter is that God put me in a position or put it in my spirit to be in the position to help and I can’t take any credit for that. I didn’t wake up this morning with the intention of going down there and helping these hostage negotiators help talk someone off of the ledge. I don’t think that that could be in anyone’s plan of action. So they have every right to be critical but if not me than who? If not now than when? I think that sometimes life has things happen a certain way for a reason. [ HEAR AUDIO ]
“T.I. just happened to be in the right place at the right time,” Atlanta police spokesman James Polite said.

Drake recently gave some dating advice from the male perspective in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. The rapper/actor gave his insight on getting over breakups, sex on the first date and more. Check some of the comments out below:
Cosmopolitan: Is it hard for guys to get over breakups?
Drake: Definitely. Even after a long time, it’s painful to see an ex with somebody else. As happy as you are that she’s happy, there’s a little tingle underneath your heart. It’s not a sting. But it hurts a bit, and you wish it wasn’t there.
C: Is sex on a first date a deal breaker?
D: No, I don’t get why women think that. You’re telling yourself that all you have to offer is your body and the physical act. There’s more to you than that. If I like somebody, there’s so many great things to look forward to, even if we do it on the first night.
C: If a woman is into a guy, how should she get his attention?
D: I’m shy, so I like when she comes up and says “Hey, how are you doing?” That lets me know she wants to talk. The scariest thing is when you look at a woman and think of a million reasons why she wouldn’t want to.
C: What’s the best compliment a woman can give a guy?
D: I never mind hearing “You look nice tonight.” Guys put in a lot of silent effort. When I’m going on a date, I’m getting a haircut, I’ve got a new outfit, and I’m wearing cologne. So it’s nice when it’s noticed.
C: What’s the secret to a happy relationship?
D: Acceptance. You’ve got to be comfortable enough to be completely naked with lights on and the curtains open.
