More in the never ending saga that is T.I. After his release from Federal Correctional Center in Arkansas to a halfway house in Georgia, the rapper found himself back in prison and will remain there till the 29th of September because prison officials objected to his using a tour bus to move between locations.
TMZ reported that T.I. allegedly misled prison officials into thinking his mode of transportation from prison to his halfway home would be “low-key,” along the lines of a van. Instead, he took a luxury bus to his house, which the prison didn’t consider “low-key.” When U.S. Marshals arrived to take him back to jail, Tip supposedly mouthed off at them for catching him on such a “ridiculous violation.” He is currently being held in federal custody.
“The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) appears to have an issue with the circumstances surrounding TI’s transportation from Arkansas to Atlanta,” said Steve Sadow, Tip’s attorney. “T.I. got on a private bus in the prison’s parking area in full view of BOP employees. Indeed, he was actually escorted to the bus by a prison guard.”
T.I’s wife Tiny told TMZ that multiple prison officials actually saw the tour bus that picked up the rapper yesterday and nobody raised an issue.
“This is a bunch of bullsh*t. They should have said something before he got on the bus. T.I. would have politely gotten into a van. T.I. is one of the strongest individuals I know … and they just trying to break him in more ways than one and it’s not gonna work! ‘Cause what God got for him, can’t no man take that away … period!”
