It seems we won’t be able to see T.I. perform any time soon, after a judge sentenced T.I to three years in jail yesterday. T.I. turned himself in on March 30th after police issued a warrant for his arrest for violating his probation on the heels of his current single “Rubberband Man” becoming a national hit. T.I.’s lawyers appeared in Cobb County Georgia Superior Court yesterday and signed a consent form that allowed T.I. to be sentenced immediately and avoid any further delay for a hearing. T.I. also known as Clifford Harris, must serve a minimum of one year before he can apply for the work release program.
A verdict is expected to come down this week in Beanie Siegel’s attempted murder trial after his defense team rested their case on Tuesday. The arrest stems from an early morning shooting of Terrance Speller in July 2003 who was shot in the stomach and foot. Showing support for their Roc-A-Fella member, Damon Dash, Jay-Z and Kareem “Biggs” Burke appeared in court to support Beanie. According to MTV, Damon Dash released a statement saying, “Roc-A-Fella is and always has been a family, and family is there for each other. We are there for him now and will be regardless of the road ahead. We will always support him in all his struggles, endeavors and triumphs”. In other case Beanie pleaded guilty to gun charges and will be sentenced on July 8th.
