T.I. was arrested by federal officials just moments before he was scheduled to be skinny at the B.E.T. Hip-Hop Awards. The 27-year old rapper was arrested on suspicion of purchasing illegal machine guns and silencers. This fool had his bodyguard pick up the guns on his behalf. Thus, began the incarcerated journey of TI. The bodyguard was taken into custody at a shopping mall, where he unknowingly planned to purchase the weapons from undercover agents of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. What dumbazz buys guns at the mall? Walmart, maybe but the mall?

A police search of T.I.'s Atlanta home allegedly also turned up six weapons in a bedroom closet, five of them loaded. T.I.'s bodyguard told federal agents that the rapper had previously given him money to purchase guns on his behalf on nine separate occasions.

Despite his absence from the ceremony, the self-named King of the South won big at the BET Hip-Hop Awards. He tied for "CD of the Year" with Common, who received the award on his behalf. "I salute my guy T.I., who also won, wherever he is," said Common at the event.

There you have it, T.I. fans. Proceeds from your CD purchases go towards the procurement of guns that are substantially heavier than T.I. geeze this guy! Maybe T.I.P, his alter ego was buying the guns and T.I. didn't know it. That's what had happened.
