T.I. has had a dramatic week of ups and downs.
On Friday, two days after he talked a suicidal man down from an Atlanta skyscraper, the rapper, 30, was sent back to jail for more 11 months for violating the terms of his probation, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports. The rapper left prison this past March after a yearlong stay on federal weapons charges.

Last month, T.I. (real name: Clifford Harris) and his wife Tameka "Tiny" Cottle were arrested in L.A. after cops discovered marijuana in their car. At the time, the hip-hop star was on probation related to his earlier prison stay.
Police in the September bust charged the star for possessing ecstasy, testing positive for opiates and associating with a convicted felon.

On Thursday, T.I. told UsMagazine.com that he was humbled by his help in saving a despondent man from suicide. "I can't say it's the most heroic thing that I did," he told Us. "It may have been one of the most spiritual moments that I've had."

"Life can send you down very, very, very dark roads," the star added. "It's not always pleasant and it seems unlivable even at times."

Sweet Jesus! Didn't he just get OUT of prison??
Thats complete BS. How many more times does Lindsay and Paris get 2 commit "misdemeanors" b4 they actually are held accountable and actually are treated like a person and not a celebrity?? T.I. should've been given another chance...11 months my butt
Tiny didnt get anything. TI said he will take more jail time if Tiny didnt get any jail time. He was worried about who would be watching the kids and all. IMO, it was a very manly thing for TI to do.
Bummm-Errrr! Some "celebs" get a slap on the wrist and some don't. I actually like TI, as for Lindz & Paris, they're a joke!
People you have to keep in mind that Paris and Lindsay committed misdemeanors and I think Lindsay committed one felony. T.I committed a federal offense which carries heavier punishment and time done in jail. Also T.I lives in the state of Georgia which the laws are much more strict than California law. California law doesn't keep non-violent criminals in jail long because of overcrowding whereas Georgia doesn't have overcrowding like that so they can keep the criminals in longer.
What did Tiny get? Girl frick that?!?! What did Lyndsey Lohan and Paris Hilton get!!!??!!!??? Man, keep it real!
what did tiny get?
