Rap-Up.com || Update: T.I. Likely to Serve Two Months in Prison

T.I. is headed to prison in seven days, but he may be out sooner than expected.

The King of the South is due to report to a low-security federal prison in Forrest City, Arkansas, on May 26 for a year and a day sentence on weapons charges.

According to The Associated Press, Tip will be credited for 305 days of home detention, which he served last year, so his stay at Forrest City will likely be reduced to two months.

Before he goes, the Atlanta rapper will shoot a video for “Don’t Forget,” his new single with Mary J. Blige, this week in Los Angeles.

Upon release, T.I. will be placed on probation for three years and must pay a $100,000 fine.

UPDATE: T.I. will serve more than two months behind bars, according to Charysse Alexander, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia. She clarified AP’s original report, saying that Tip was given credit for 305 days of home detention, but that will not affect the length of his prison sentence.

At best, anyone who serves more than one year in prison is eligible for a 15 percent “good time” credit, which means his year-and-a-day sentence could be reduced by 55 days.

exactly, with all that money he is making, i didn’t expected him to stay in prison for a whole year. that’s what you pay a lawyer for, to get you out of the situation. ask Micheal jackson or O.J. haha. ps. mj music back then is still awesome.

I’m not surprised. Knowing the situation and T.I.’s story, he really didn’t deserve a year in prison.

OK let me just say that I really like TI. And I sincerely hope he comes away from this experience a better man. However, why is his pending incarceration a big deal? In other words, why are we having countdowns, concerts, TV specials, etc. for him like he’s the frickin Pope or something? lol

yeah i agree with some people right here….i really like T.I i come around to him because of the song Be Better Than Me, as contrasted with few other rappers he tells stories most of the time about ghetto life not should being a batterer….but whoever he is he made a crime and people should be consequently to the law…i mean it is nothin personal but he can’t be release…that’s my opinion
