T.I. Free on $3 Million Bond, Remains Under House Arrest

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  147 Comments

At a hearing this afternoon, T.I. was finally freed on $3 million bond while he awaits his weapons trial, according to the Associated Press. U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman said the rapper must remain under house arrest and will be monitored 24 hours a day by a private monitoring service that he is paying for. Upon his release, the judge reportedly said, “You shouldn’t do anything that will undermine their ability to represent you.” If convicted, Tip could face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count.

      Hold up, Hold up, Alright,
      lets just Settle Down Now.
      the way the Media Portrays Black People & Women in our Society is Fuk’d up.
      while the Media Tends to Only Sensationalize & Focus on the Negativity in a Small Idiot Box of a World.
      it Seems the Media Only Will Discuss a Female or a Person of Color Descent on the Television when they Mess Up. its Hard to be a Positive Influence when you can Only Make the Headlines if you do Wrong White or Black. so while the Media Blames the Hip-Hop Movement they Never Mention the Positive Aspects of the Culture!
      like the Artist Common or the Group Blackstar.

      People are Only Being Exploited through the Means of Racism & Prejudism by the Media & the General Public Predominately for the Escapism Idea of Comfort.
      Hence SUCKS 2 B U’s Tirade of a Micheal Richards, Don Imus Style Comment

      A lot of you all don’t understand what you’re talking about. He only has to pay 10% of 3 million which is only 300,000. And to be a convicted felon facing weapons charges and only looking at 10 years and fines if convicted his lawyers are making real strides in his defense. Granted it was a dumb decision and he will have to pay the consequences. We shouldn’t be on here making fun of him but learning from this. What am I saying most of you internet thugs don’t have anything better to do. Until next time bitches…

    CONVICTED FELON OR NOT, A NIGGA HAS A RIGHT TO PROTECT HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY. IF NIGGAZ KNOW THAT TIP HAS NO WEAPONS,WHATS GOING TO STOP THEM FROM ROBBING THIS NIGGA. THESE LAWS WERE NOT MADE WITH MINORITIES IN MIND. EVERYBODY THATS CALLING TIP STUPID ARE THE HOODWINKED NEGROES AND MUTHAFUCKAS THATS BLIND TO WHAT THE GOVERNMENT DOES TO MINORITIES THAT HAVE TO MUCH MONEY. MICK VICK FOR EXAMPLE. HUNTING DEERS AND DUCKS IS LEGAL? BUT DOG FIGHTING IS NOT? NOW I DON’T AGREE IN THE MANNER THAT THE DOGS WERE KILLED, BUT FAIR IS FAIR. I DON’T LIKE HUNTING OR DOG FIGHTING, BUT FAIR IS FAIR. I HAVE NO FEAR OF TIP OR ANY RAPPER SHOOTING AND ROBBING PEOPLE. THEY ONLY HAVE WEAPONS FOR THE PURPOSES OF PROTECTING THEM SELVES…..WAIT FOR IT …WAIT FOR IT …………..OK NOW LET THE HATING BEGIN…LOVE PEACE AND HAIR GREASE I LOVE YOU AND NOW I’M GOING TO SMOKE!

    Tishan you’re a fuckin idiot. Hunting is a form of population control you fool, dog fighting is exploiting an animal’s pain for profit and eventually profiting off it’s death. You’re a twisted motherfucker if you think dog fighting is legit. Keep in mind with T.I., kid is coppin silencers …you don’t need silencers to protect yourself. Only reason you get that kind of shit is when you’re schemin to do some grimy shit.

    Wake Up & Smell The Bullshit You Sell In Yo’ Cell. Ignorance is not an option for us especially after all the hard work of getting free from the first form of slavery our ancestors endured via the man. Modern Day Slavery is The Prison System. Those of us acting out our life ignorantly will find ourselves behind bars not physically free. I did two bids for stupid shit. With 3 million in the bank I would have been distance myself from the ignorance of my upbringing. Kudos to Master P for sparking a revolution. Kudos to Nas, his new album should be NIGGA to address the character and conduct of STUPID ASS NIGGAS.

    real gangsters dont show up at the crime scene, i mean how stupid can you be, that some new to the game dumb shit, what an idiot, im a fan of his music, but the government is gonna be out to get this dude. for real what the hell was he thinking buying all those guns, damn, hire real security, not your homeboys from the neighborhood, ex secret service or some shit. probably was all crunk on the way to the show buying some guns to show off later on at some fucking party, what a waste of talent, who knows maybe the government lawyers will fuck up on some shit and the case would get thrown out.

Hes not the unibomber. And hes a multimillionaire, hes not gonna rob anyone! Maybe hes just a gun collector, or he wants people to know not to fuck with him, I dont know. Either way, all he did was buy guns, and everyone is freaking out because they are machine guns, well guess what? You can buy the same damn guns at a gun show with just a license…give the dude a break.

  • Woodlox

    3 mill is an abdurd amount, but he was (allegedly) caught with an absurd amount of guns and gun paraphenalia, and he’s a felon, and he’s black, and a rapper, in Amerikkka. What else could you guys possibly expect?

    Not a good example, not justified in having those amount of (alleged) guns. He can blame the snitch, or he can take responsibility. More of us black men need to do that. Maybe the lesson is to stop doin’ dumb shit that enables people to snitch on you in the 1st place. Now if he goes to jail, how many real thughs are gonna be linin up for this dude, and for what.

    Bosses don’t pack tools, they got goons for that. A real boss rolls like that, so even if your inspired by gansterism, you still don’t know the basics of the game.

  • LTBOOG

    a few ppl r stickin up 4 this cat sayin he got f-ed over by the “lawmakers” n whatnot-screw that – most ppl wit these charges get similarly ridiculous bail, if any at all!- he’s a lucky one who can afford it tho- most r locked till their trial– i would say he got some special treatment considering they knew he could afford it- the man was buyin machine gunz!!!!! – most others especially those who already are felons never get that option– so f racism, etc- he’s gona get thru this ea$ier than any regular citizen ever would–
    as for protection- look i am not for guns- especially for a felon- but with this much exposure and a shady past that you may not be able to get rid of may semi-warrant some personal protection- like one handgun near your bed and extra security guards n cameras–in past interviews he was all about ‘i got my deal and i’m not goin back’- all these mf;s better realize they r far from invincible- recent events show ish mite hit the fan wit all this illegitimate business going on in hip hop- rappers will continue to be made examples of. whes damn i wrote a lot had to vent i guess that my opinion u dont have to agree but i think its domethin to think about

  • ASurThang

    Damn!

    T.I. did this! I always say, fuck paying the bail. I wouldn’t have paid any of it. I would have stayed in the spot for two reasons. The first being to save the $3,000,000 that was hard earned and, if he is found guilty, he would have whatever days he spent in jail knocked of that time! Time served! Ya’ dig!

  • Penelope Rodriguez

    I wish T.I. the best of luck.

  • SUCKS 2 B U

    Yo!

    I ain’t trying to be racist, but why is it that Blacks can’t seem to make it with out going to jail?

    You got Vick, R. Kelly, T.I., Snoop, Trick Daddy, Flip, Prodigy, O.J. (Yes he’s yours!), Kobe, Foxy, Lil Kim etc., etc. all getting caught up in legal issues after they ‘made it’!

    Even the dudes I use to hang out with – 6 Blacks – all got records or are currently in prison. And its always the same excuse: “Cause racism or Slavery”!!!

    Slavery, WTF?!!?!

    That’s 200 years ago!

    I think the Black leaders have given up on their kind because the situation seems to be getting worse, but all I hear promotted is “My Chain, My Car, My Bitch…” And it seems like every Black dude I know has a demo and a dream, but no (real) job?!?!?

    Yo! In a few years, its gonna be real bad for Hip-Hop cause all the criminal records will prove there’s a connection between the music and being a criminal…you see?

    Self destruction is REAL!

    I hate to say it, and I’m not trying to be a racist, and I love rap…But THANK GOD I’m White! Why? Cause I can listen to the music, enjoy it, with out it taking me under – Sorry its true!

    • kj

      look sucks to be you. white people get money and do the same thing everyday most of them are on drugs. Im not going to name the numerous fools. the things that white people do are not put on display as if a black were to do it. nor are yaw punished the same way. proven fact. be for real and think before you put something like that on a site like this. what are you doing up here anyway. now tell me im wrong tell me im not telling it from both sides. you are trying to be funny and racist for the simple fact that you started you message like that. you wouldnt say that if you didnt think it was racist. im black and i can listen to music and not let it take me under. its people like you i wont hesitate to …. most white stars are on drugs not weed and try to kill thereselves. so you know what GO KILL YOURSELF

    • http://WWW.XXLMAG.COM HIPHOP

      THE REASON WHY BLACK DUDES ARE ALL GOING TO JAIL IS BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF BEING STUPID. AND ALSO THE SYSTEM OF RACIAM (WHITE SUPREMACY) PLAN IS TO BRING AS MUCH BLACK MALES IN PRISON CELLS. THERES NO JOBS BECAUSE THE WHITE SUPREMACIST ARE TAKING THE JOBS NOT THE MEXICANS.

      U DEPRIVE A PERSON OF A JOB THAT PERSON START GETTING INTO SHIT LIKE CRIME U ENTER THE PRISON SYSTEM U MESSED UP CANT GET A PROPER JOB WHEN U GET OUT EQUALS U GO BACK IN. IF YOU SO CALLED LOVE HIP HOP MAYBE U SHOULD DESTROY THE SYSTEM OF RACISM, OOO THAT WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR WHITE PEOPLE TO HANDLE

    no asshole, it sucks to be you because you are an assclown.

    Yo! In a few years, its gonna be real bad for Hip-Hop cause all the criminal records will prove there’s a connection between the music and being a criminal…you see?
    ^^^^
    the music is not what causes the criminal activity, the music is an obvious reflection of how fucked the fuck up the hood is. you prahlee wouldnt know about what its like in the HOOD though.

    I think the Black leaders have given up on their kind because the situation seems to be getting worse, but all I hear promotted is “My Chain, My Car, My Bitch…” And it seems like every Black dude I know has a demo and a dream, but no (real) job?!?!?

    ^^^^uM, Exactly who are you referring to when you say “BLACK LEADERS?”

    Slavery, WTF?!!?!
    But THANK GOD I’m White
    I ain’t trying to be racist
    Yes he’s yourS
    and I’m not trying to be a racists!),
    ^^^^
    you have a real racist ass way of not trying to racist. as u stated, you love rap.you are not a hip hop fan,assclown. stop trying to touch down on hip hop related issues, or issues related to people not of your race,because you need CRITICAL THINKING abilities in order to pose a feasible argument, and that is something you are obviously LACKING.but your a white male in america (spoiled as hell) and used to getting your way, so you prahlee think you know everything. did you know that white males are a higher percentage of suicide victims than any other group? do u know why? because white males are not used to hardships. blacks on the other hand, have a low suicide rate because we actually expect our lives to suck. so with that: go kill yourself.

    I just wanna say that you motherfuckers with this “first” shit are some ignorant bastards. Who cares if you are first! Also, if you are not from a specific area of the USA, stop posing like you are from the states. Another thing, step up your whole game (intellectually, grammatically,etc.) because I’m tired of reading your ignorant responses to the topics at hand. Wack asses!

    “THE KING” yeah right this was a big blow to the hip-hop community but, from this hole situation I got this don’t believe nothin you hear and half of what you see. If you in the lime ligh like this cat there is no need to bring this type of drama around to. This is a lesson to all, and to all the people who read this don’t hate on yourself because there is so many people out there willing to do it for you PEACE.

    Hold up, Hold up, Alright,
    lets just Settle Down Now.
    the way the Media Portrays Black People & Women in our Society is Fuk’d up.
    while the Media Tends to Only Sensationalize & Focus on the Negativity in a Small Idiot Box of a World.
    it Seems the Media Only Will Discuss a Female or a Person of Color Descent on the Television when they Mess Up. its Hard to be a Positive Influence when you can Only Make the Headlines if you do Wrong White or Black. so while the Media Blames the Hip-Hop Movement they Never Mention the Positive Aspects of the Culture!
    like the Artist Common or the Group Blackstar.

    People are Only Being Exploited through the Means of Racism & Prejudism by the Media & the General Public Prodaminatly for the Escapism Idea of Comfort.
    Hence SUCKS 2 B U’s Tirade of a Micheal Richards, Don Imus Style Comment
