CNN’s T.J. Holmes was the last to interview T.I. prior to his reporting for his year and a day jail sentence.? Now he revisits Tip, 7 months later to see how he’s changed. Tip discussed how his prison sentence changed him mentally and spiritually, stating:
I survived it and I’ve been able to use it to my advantage to make myself a better person…. I’m more concerned with my LIFE than I am My IMAGE.? My image will be a reflection of my life and how I’m living. I feel like if I make the necessary adjustments in my LIFE then my IMAGE will change with it.
Speaking of images, Tip explained that he has a passion for music but he doesn’t see himself on stage at 40 plus.? Music industry dudes have no hours and he wants more of a family life and stability right now:
I’m not going to be the 40 year old rapper. That’s Jay. He’s doing it very well but I just don’t see that for me.?? If I had the option of Jay-Z or Will Smith…. I think I’d go with Will.
I have a lot of respect for Jay-Z and his legacy but I feel like Will Smith gets to spend more time with his family. He gets to be home more and can actually raise his kids.
He has more of a HOME life…. and the money don’t hurt. $20 Million a flick ain’t bad!
