CORRECTION:
The name of the program is TIP (Truancy Intervention Program), not TILT as I earlier wrote.
As most of you know, T.I. is still under federal monitoring guidelines while he fulfills his court ordered community service before doing time in federal prison come January. However, it’s looking more and more like T.I. has already completed his community service and moved on with his life.
We’re hearing rumors of T.I. demanding ridiculous cash fees upfront to host parties at nightclubs – despite the fact that the rapper has to be in the house by 1 AM on days that he is “working”.
Last week I heard from a bank loan officer, whose girlfriend is a teacher in the Atlanta Public School system. According to her, T.I. was scheduled to speak to students in the TILT TIP Program – a community-based teaching and truancy intervention program. technology program designed to extend learning beyond the classroom walls.
As part of their reward for fulfilling their goals in the program, the kids were treated to a meet and greet with members of the Atlanta Braves on Thursday (5/29).
When the time came for T.I. to surprise the kids with their awards, he was a no-show. A call was hastily placed to T.I.’s attorney who said, “He’s not coming. He never was coming.”
In all fairness, T.I. may not have been aware that his presence was expected at the Braves’ offices, but someone made arrangements for him to be there the same as they made arrangements for him to be at the MTV Movie Awards this weekend.
Well, if he was scheduled to be there, he should have been there.
yeah…we all like TI but, he seems to be getting a little cocky again. I was shocked to see him at the MTV Movie Awards last night. I’m thinking with a new baby and community service who has time to go there???
Didnt u throw Kanye under the bus for not showing up to a damn nite club after party? Ya homeboy is required to speak to at-risk kids & he’s out partyin it up sans baby mama & family…. Dont give his ass any slack… He’s a THUG, plain & simple. He thinks he’s invincible & that slap on the wrist did not help
See how ppl call on the Almighty when in desperate need. Then turn their backs and forget about who “brought them through” when they start doing “hoodrat stuff”.
All I keep hearing in my head is Lauryn Hill on Kanye’s hook:
When it all falls down.
LOL @#3
I didn’t see your comment before I posted. LOL – too funny.
If he was scheduled to be there he should off been there plain and simple. I love T.I.still though but I don’t think he is going to change to much from this. Money changes certain situations!!
Who cares? The man is working. He has a family to feed. I am sure that comes first no matter what! He doesn’t owe the world because he got in trouble. Thats unfair to ask him to even do that, and this story is 3rd party anyways so it is probably not even true.
awww T.I. seems to be a good dude just tryin to support his family. People need to just lay off the guy. I wish all thats happening to him was happening to Diddy.
His ass shoulda went to jail, but obviously money talks. It talks for TI, talked to the judge & the lawyers… Damn shame
oh my am i sensing some bitchassness…lol
I know T.I. will redeem himself .A rumor was started in Huntsville , AL that T.I .was suppose to perform at AAMU’s Homecoming last year or the year before ,and he didn’t come . After T.I. found out about it , he called in to the radio station , and said that was hoax ,he apologized for the for what had happened and that he would never stand his fans up like that , so I am pretty sure he will clear this up.
IF he was the one to give back to community or whatever he would, but if that’s not his cup of tea, it just isn’t.

********************************************
So why did he agree to the terms that the judge gave him? Why not get his lawyers to push for somethin else? When is the last time he did some community service or started a foundation on his own and not to get a tax write off?
Damn ya’ll…why you guys gotta throw my man Tip under the bus??? I’m sure he will rectify this issue…TI knows he doesn’t need ANY bad press right now, not at all.
As for him being on the scene…damnit a man gotta eat!!! Shooot his new album is gonna drop in a few months and Tiny just popped out another kid!!! Ya’ll know TI stay grindin and hustling especially since he missed out on making about 10 million since he was on house arrest…he trying to get that paper back lol!
@ MOCHAMOMMY Says:
Girl you a brave chick to be talkin’ about TIP like that on this site! I agree with you 1000% but we are in the minority! If this is true, I’m not surprised at all…
I don’t think the Braves organization, a teacher and a banker would make this story up.
@ MissGauzzz
I know right!!! LOL but its the truth…. If this was Diddy or JayZ, Sandra woulda been relentless. U cant pick & choose who u wanna title as thugs or dangers to society. If this is true, we need to call it like we see it
According to TMZ T.I. is not even allowed to go to a night club let alone host a party at one so I guess that rumor is a lie.

That’s not Lauryn Hill, it’s Sylenna Johnson. Lauryn is on his new single Champion

***********************************************************
In all fairness Sandra, you only talked to the banker who had nothing to do with the whole situation. The fact that he is a banker doesn’t make the story more credible. If he was a straight laced dude he wouldn’t be passing on gossip in the first place.
@mochamommy
I don’t know why he agreed.That’s something the judge did.T.I. is not some average joe, he’s public so the judge probably felt like he can use his celebrity on talking to kids and doing all this stuff.People gonna write things on their taxes regardless.Like Goodwill, Gas;to the people who do have foundation they have to put it on tax anyways it’s non profit.But that’s T.I. so at the end of the day he gone do what he wanna do.You got a point though!
Whatever!!!!
He is a grown ass man that has obligations. I hope that he has fulfilled those obligations before he gets his ass back in trouble!!!
He has enough kids to eat you out of an apartment, house, and grocery store…
