T.O. SET TO SIGN A 75 MILLION DOLLAR RECORD DEAL!

January 18th, 2013 | By love not hate

Got $75 million handy? If so, you can sign T.I. to your label … the hip hop star just became the number-one free agent in rap — and despite the steep price tag he’s putting out … some deep pockets are already lining up.

Sources close to T.I. tell TMZ … T.I.’s 10-year contract with Atlantic ran up only a month ago … but he’s already put together his own idea of a $75 million deal:

- 3 albums
- 10-20 percent of publishing, touring, merchandise, film and TV rights
- Corporate endorsement deals
- Exclusive signing of all Grand Hustle artists

Sources close to T.I. tell TMZ … he’s already met with some of the industry’s biggest names … including Dr. Dre, who asked him to join Interscope over dinner at Katana recently (see picture) … and Jay-Z, who wants T.I. in the RocNation family.

We’re told Sony’s put a $50 million deal on the table so far … and Universal’s meeting with him later this week to make an offer too.

All in all, not a bad group to have knocking at your door …

LET T.I. GO DAMMIT!

September 9th, 2011 | By love not hate

GONE BACK TO JAIL, Boy I tell ya them fed’s sho’ll know how to put you on a roller coaster don shipped the man back to jail just cause he was talking about making some legal money!!!! It appears that T.I. getting put back into jail was not because of his tricked out bus, as his lawyers claimed, but because prison officials found out that his manager and a VH1 producer on board the bus to talk business! According to Bureau of Prisons documents obtained by CNN,

“such people were not authorized to travel with him in the conditions of his furlough. [T.I.] further indicated he was discussing a new reality series and a book with those individuals.”

Because T.I. broke the rules of his probation, in which he was to stay in a halfway house until the last day of his sentence on September 29, he will stay in a federal penitentiary until that date. Lawyer Steve Sadow still say that the feds are wrong and that “no business was conducted on the bus,” and goes on to say that even those accusations aren’t a violation,

“The provision itself speaks in terms of conducting a business or conducting or directing an investment transaction. The purpose of that provision is not so that people can’t talk about their business, it’s so that you don’t run a business while you’re in the Bureau of Prisons.”

I GOT BEAT: T.I. And Tiny Caught “In The Act” During Visiting Hours

January 6th, 2011 | By love not hate

Rapper T.I. is even more trouble for getting beat…and we’re talking about his genitals…while in prison. Why? Because the incident happened during visiting hours and the “beater” was his wife Tiny! Deets inside…

During a trip to the Arkansas State Prison last weekend, T.I. wife’s Tiny obviously couldn’t resist the site of her hubby in a hot orange jumpsuit. In the middle of the visiting room, during regular hours, Tiny took T.I. in the palm of her hands and literally went to work.

According to prison guidelines, inmates are allowed to kiss and embrace at the beginning and at the end of a visit as well as hold hands…but it stops there. And “the inmate’s hands must remain in plain view of Visiting Room staff at all times.” But I guess now they have to add “inmate’s partner’s hands” to that statement.

Tiny told TMZ that T.I.P. was immediately reprimanded and sent to a “Special Housing Unit” which ha more security and less freedom. She says she’s hopeful she’ll be allowed to visit again soon…after he gets off…of punishment.

Look ma…no hands!
