T.I. a Winner at BET Hip Hop Awards, Still Loses
T.I. was among the top winners at the 2nd Annual BET Hip hop Awards, which will air on Wednesday, October 17 at 8 p.m. EST. The rapper was arrested by Federal ATF agents on weapons charges just hours before the ceremony. He won two awards including CD of the Year for T.I. vs. T.I.P., but due to being behind bars could not accept them. The website Baller Status reports:
T.I. was slated to perform, but instead, Wyclef Jean performed the rapper’s single, “You Know What It Is,” which he is featured on as well, while host and comedian Katt Williams danced around on stage dressed like T.I. in an attempt to impersonate him.
It’s being reported by MediaTakeOut.com that a source close to embattled rapper T.I. says that the gun charges leveraged against the hip-hopper are false; T.I. never tried to purchase guns — it was all his bodyguard.
Well, I won’t comment too much on this since it doesn’t have a lot to do with film, at least not yet. T.I. is co-starring in American Gangster, which is scheduled to premiere in a couple of weeks. So if his arrest effects the film, I’ll save my comments until then.
For now, watch the BET Hip Hop Awards, hosted by Katt Williams this Wednesday at 8 p.m. EST.
