T.I. got busted for getting busy with his wife in a jail visitation room. You can take the player out of the game, but you can’t take the game out of the player.
T.I. and Lil Wayne‘s jail sentences share some similarities: they both had new albums coincide with their sentences (T.I. had to change his from ‘King Uncaged to ‘No Mercy’ when it turned out he was going back to jail just in time for the album’s release date); they both distributed some heartfelt writing from behind bars (although T.I.’s sobering “I’m sick of being in jail” missive was decidedly more depressing); and they both got busted for having contraband in jail. Lil Wayne’s contraband: headphones. T.I.’s contraband: booty.
Apparently those ‘conjugal trailers’ from “Arrested Development” are apocryphal. The Atlatnta, GA rapper was recently busted getting it on with his wife Tiny in a visitation room. Vulture reports: “For the record: ‘The inmate’s hands must remain in plain view of Visiting Room staff at all times,’” according to prison rules.
Like Lil Wayne, T.I. did receive disciplinary punishment for his transgression, but not solitary confinement: he was sent to a section of the prison where security is more heightened. From the looks of it, T.I. seems to be a solid guy who likes to take ecstasy and hook up with his wife, which makes his “I hate being in jail” letter even more depressing. But hey, Lil Wayne was so prolific in jail his sentence just might have been the best thing that ever happened to his career. Maybe T.I. will find a similar fate.
