Who would have thought two years ago that when the rapper T.I. had tried to buy unregistered silencers and machine guns from some undercover federal agents that he’d be getting out almost four months early? It seems that T.I. wasn’t even expecting it, but it looks like his behavior made enough of an impression that the holidays have come to him early.
At the moment, though, he’s sitting in a halfway house in Atlanta, Georgia, on his way to go back home soon. He could have served up to 10 years in prison for trying to buy those weapons, but instead, he had only been given a year and one day sentence and only served seven months of that. It doesn’t sit well that a man calling himself the “King of the South” didn’t even get remotely close to a full sentence for trying to pick up machine guns, and now he’s got out early.
But, then again, T.I. has actually done a great job of actually holding up to the plea deal he’d made, which would mean he’d be on house arrest before he actually went to his sentence, and he would also be speaking to communities in the hopes of discouraging the use of guns or violence, and telling them of the dangers of using drugs.
T.I. hasn’t actually dicussed what this means for his career, but he probably has plans to come back to the spotlight as soon as possible, but first he wants to spend time with his family for the holidays. Or at the very least, spend his holiday not behind bars. He’s been incredibly popular as a rapper for this generation, so it’s not hard to imagine that people would like him back, but it seems to go without saying that everyone wants T.I. to keep his act together first.
