T.I. Sentenced to 1 Year and a Day in Prison
Self-proclaimed King of the South T.I. will spend the next 366 days in a Georgia prison as part of his plea deal with prosecutors over a 2007 felony weapons charge.
The Atlanta rapper is required to turn himself into prison within the next 30 to 60 days, but is not expected do so before May 19. Northern Georgia District Judge Charles Pannell Jr. praised T.I. for meeting and exceeding the expectations required from his plea deal.
Tip originally faced up to 10 years in the pokey, after pleading guilty to a federal weapons charge. However, he agreed to complete 1,000 hours of community service prior to his sentencing, pay a $100,000 fine and complete an additional 500 hours of community service after he completes his bid.
The last time Tip went to jail, Paper Trail happened. Hopefully, T.I.'s legal trials will inspire some powerful material. The King will rise again.
