More hot couples from last night’s Grammy red carpet below:
T.I. and his youngest son Major are featured in the March 2009 issue of Blender Magazine. In the issue, Tip explains his reasoning behind their name choices:
?My kids would be the best representation of what I meant to this Earth. As long as they (are) able to fulfil their dreams, then I did something right. ?I want them to have high expectations. Ambition. And what better way than through their names? If people call you King, you?ll expect more of yourself.?
Tip admits in the article to being arrested at least 32 times. The 28 year old A-Town King, who is definitely not afraid of jail, also talks about how he’ll handle his upcoming year long stint which begins in March:
?Well, that depends on the facility. Some luxuries are available in some facilities that aren?t available in others. Some facilities have a TV, but you can?t watch it ?cause cats in there wild out so much. I?ll read the Bible a lot. Biographies, magazines. I don?t really read fiction. I read for information, rather than for entertainment. I?ll talk on the phone a lot. I?ll spend a whole day on the phone, checkin? on what?s goin? on, makin? sure things are taken care of. Ain?t a lot to do.? He says his fame won?t really make much of a difference: ?People are in awe at times about who I am. I can?t believe I?m in here with T.I., but that usually goes away in about three, four days. After so long, everybody just inmates.?
He’s a real stand up dude who has grown a lot. Check out this video I received yesterday from WorldStarHipHop of Mr. Harris giving a hilarious behind the scenes tour of Atlanta. From Bankhead to West End to the AU Center…he explains it all! Check it out below:
“The money f*cked me up? It might have…but I’d rather have the money f*ck me up than the streets.”
T.I. was in NYC yesterday to promote his new reality show, “Road to Redemption,” which debuts on MTV February 10th. The show will feature eight-episodes that document Tip’s actions as he honors probation commitments, promotes Paper Trail, and prepares to serve his year in jail. I love the way Tip wears that scully on edge…
Throughout “Road to Redemption,” Tip is challenged with changing the lives of seven kids. They range from a number of cases, including a high school dropout-turned-drug dealer. “We’re gonna help him whether he wants it or not,” the rapper said in the segment before being introduced to the teen and opening up about his own tribulations.
T.I. said the show features a number of scenarios, only one of which is him preparing to be away from his family and the spotlight while behind bars.
“You’ll see all the things that go into what I do,” Tip told MTV News. “The work I put in to maintain this level of success and stardom. … You see me deal with kids in a way that may surprise you.
“The sky can be the limit,” he added later. “All you have to be willing to do is accept it.” (Source)
Check out a few flix of what was billed as T.I.’s final live performance before hitting the clink. Tip performed at Jet Mirage Nightclub in Vegas Monday evening and what started out as a routine club performance ended as a peep show as Tip displayed his hairy goodies onstage.
*Updated* Here’s what happened according to an email received by NecoleBitchie from an onlooker at the club:
I am a TI STAN. Love Him to DEATH!! but felt a certain way when seeing this photo of him posted over on Sister 2 Sister?s website. He was at a concert in Vegas when he wiped his ding dong with his shirt, then gave it to some girl in the crowd. I am a stan but even my groupie has it?s limits. And can you please pass the message to TI that his bird cage is not sexy. My husband makes me wax on the regular and he keeps a nice trim so it bothers me when I see hairy azz men who don?t trim their bushes. How can a female ever find his gold in that tangled web.
