T.I. Turns Himself in Today!

Federal authorities are stating that Grammy award-winning rapper T.I. has been booked into a federal prison in Arkansas to serve a year and a day sentence on a weapons conviction.

Prison spokeswoman Linda Thomas says T.I. has entered the prison, but couldn't give an intake time for the Atlanta rapper, whose real name is Clifford J. Harris Jr.

T.I. was to report at noon, central time zone, to begin serving his sentence. At 12:29 p.m., a black van with Georgia license plates and tinted windows pulled up to the prison. Guards and prison officials in three vehicles escorted the van to the prison grounds.

Rumors of him having only 60 days to stay in prison have been clarified false.

T.I. Prison Sentence Gets Cut Short

Just when we all thought we would miss T.I. for a whole year and one day, a surprise and a blessing from God comes through.

T.I.'s jail sentence has been reduced majorly to 60 days, since authorities say that he spent 305 days at home already. YAY! That's wonderful.

During his jail time, T.I. will receive no special treatment whatsoever. He will have a cellmate and he will have to do everything with all of the mates in the jail with him. Good luck! 2 months is not so bad for the great rapper.

Beyonce, Lil Wayne, and T.I. Lead BET Award Nominations

Queen Bee and two of the best rappers alive that she once collaborated with ("Soldier") are all leading the list of BET nominations this year. With 5 nominations under their belt, I'm sure that Beyonce, Lil Wayne, and T.I. will snatch one or two awards.

Keri Hilson and T-Pain come second with four nominations a piece.

Kanye West, Rihanna, Jazmine Sullivan, and Jamie Foxx all got three nominations.

And I am proud to announce that my fave girl Solange even snabbed a nomination. THANK HEAVENS! I hope she gets it. She deserves the recognition.
