Well, T.I. received his official prison sentence today. The Atlanta hip hop artist will face one year and one day in prison as a part of his guilty plea to federal weapons charges after his arrest in October 2007. T.I. made his appearance in court today with the support of his girlfriend, Tiny, and members of Grand Hustle. The plea deal also involved T.I. doing more than a thousand hours of community service, many of which have been officially documented on his MTV show, Road To Redemption.
T.I.’s guilty plea also involved a fine of over $100,000. T.I. is slated to officially begin his prison sentence within the next six to eight weeks. The length of the sentence is interesting in that it may allow T.I. to be released ahead of schedule for good behavior. Had the prison sentence been exactly 1 year, he would have had to serve it out in its entirety. Hold your head T.I.
