The King of the South is headed back to prison. A federal judge in Atlanta has sentenced T.I. to 11 months behind bars for violating his probation, stemming from his arrest last month in Los Angeles, where police said they found drugs in the car during a traffic stop with his wife Tiny. FreddyO was at the courthouse as Tip’s legal team addressed the media following the decision, and in our exclusive video, his lawyer speaks on the sentence, the judge’s ruling and what comes next for the Grand Hustle boss. It is a heavy day for Atlanta hip hop, no way around it.
This ruling hits especially hard because of how far Tip had come. He was just released from prison earlier this year after serving time on federal weapons charges, and he returned home to a hero’s welcome, got married to Tiny this summer and was rebuilding his career step by step. Prosecutors were seeking a longer sentence, and fans held their breath waiting on the judge. In the end, the court decided that the probation violation could not be overlooked. His attorney addressed reporters outside the courthouse, explaining the outcome and standing by his client as he prepares to turn himself in.
For now, the focus for Tip’s family, his Grand Hustle team and his fans is getting through these next 11 months. Atlanta has watched this man rise, fall and rise again before, and if there is one thing we know about T.I., it is that he has never let a setback write his final chapter.
