HIP HOP COPS RAP RAPPER
Grammy Award-winning rapper T.I. was arrested on Saturday by ATF Agents and charged with the purchase of illegal machine guns. The arrest came hours before he was due to star at a major awards ceremony and as the artist took delivery of three machine guns and two silencers.
David E. Nahmias, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, said that the convicted felon was allegedly trying to add several machine guns to his large and illegal arsenal of guns. T.I. was convicted of a violation of the Georgia Controlled Substances Act in 1998 and given seven years probation.
The rapper apparently thought he could hip hop the law that says It is a federal offense for a convicted felon to have someone else purchase firearms on their behalf, by having his bodyguard purchase the guns and silencers.
T.I. is a member of the growing band of rappers who see themselves as victims of a witch hunt, harassed by the hip-hop cops.
Nothing to do with illegal arsenals then.
