T.I. BREAKS SILENCE ON BET EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

T.I. BREAKS SILENCE ON BET EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

He may be facing a year in prison, but that won’t break his spirit. On May 7th at 7:30 PM, T.I. grants his first televised interview exlcusively to BET News in the half-hour special T.I. SPEAKS. He’ll answer the tough questions from host Toure and at-risk youth about his life and future after being sentenced to a year in prison. In a compelling moment, he explains why someone who seems to have everything– money, power and fame — would risk it all.
And no he’s not making excuses for his poor and what many consider downright “stupid” decision, the rapper discusses his best friend’s murder in 2006 and explains how being a celebrity has its drawbacks and “ignites a certain paranoia.”

He says, “Every one knew me and I knew no one … you can’t tell if a person is a fan or not until the (car) window winds down.”

He goes on to deliver a strong message about decision-making to a group of at-risk youth and discusses his thoughts about going back to jail and his career’s future.

He says, “I must be a man and stand up and accept responsibility. I exercised extremely poor judgment, and for that, I must be willing to pay whatever price that comes before me.”

WILL YOU TUNE IN?!
