When you’re as high profile as Clifford Harris, a.k.a. TI, chances are you won’t take advice from anybody. That’s why we think TI is one of a kind. Ever wonder how he keeps so quiet whenever asked about his upcoming wedding to his fiancee, Tiny? Turns out that Tip keeps a cool attitude towards it, based on an advice by a legend. He told Power 106 that legendary singer, Diana Ross, helped him to always remember that some things in life should be kept private:
“Why offer people the opportunity to have an opinion about something they shouldn’t have an opinion about? One thing Diana Ross told me, she said, ‘You’ve got to keep something to yourself.’ I just feel like that’s something private, that’s between us.”
That’s the thing, the King should take an advice from a Queen, and TI did it well. However, his mouth might be sealed, but his fiancee just confirmed that her and TI’s wedding will surely happen… before this year ends.
Wonder where Tiny has been taking her advice from. LOL!
Looks like it’s not only his movie, Takers, which had to undergo some rescheduling, TI’s upcoming album, King Uncaged, is also experiencing schedule alterations. Over the weekend, online retailer, Amazon.com has inked a new release date for the album, from August 17th pushed back to September 28th.
There’s still no word from Tip nor his label about the rescheduled release of the album. King Uncaged will be his first post-prison album after serving a year and a day for the federal gun possession charges. Well, the album might be quite a long wait, but we know one thing that requires zero waiting: getting TI’s AKOO Clothing line fly swagger. Today’s hot item is…
Happy 4th of July, everybody! Hope you had a blast on the weekend. Our man TI is has also been attending fun events last weekend, such as Trey Songz’s Toast to Women at Carol’s Daughter Pop Up Store on July 3, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The King of the South was also seen at the 2010 Essence Music Festival at the Louisiana Superdome, July 4, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
So what does TI wear on his down time? Not anymore a trivial question about that. Check his style and copy immediately!
Um yes, good thing that dude from American Idol wasn’t around because he would hate TI’s dropped pants which reveals his boxers. To us, it’s sexy!
Another TI laid-back look. Polo shirt-clad, sunglasses fab and baseball cap as a finishing touch. Nice.
Here’s a laid-back t-shirt for you to chill this weekend, straight from his clothing line, AKOO.
Remember how he had to go away to prison due to his attempt to purchase guns? Well, TI was recently interviewed by Fuse TV and he stated that he still wishes he still has his right to bear arms.
“As long as there are other criminals out there who have them, then I definitely wish that I had my second amendment right.”
However, TI shares his prison experience as well. We think his definition of jail and prison is spot on.
“But you know I understand that I live in America and the law in America states that if you’re a felon, that you lose that second amendment right to bear arms. After I’m done with, you know what I’m saying, the conditions of my sentence, I’ll be able to vote…I didn’t go in there with the thought that I would be treated any differently, you know, any better. You know, I just went in there prepared to do what I had to do to get on back on up out of there…I’ve been to jail before, it was my first time in prison. Prison is for people, prison you actually be around people who been there for 10s, 15s, 20s of year. Jail is where you stay before you go to court you know for maybe 6, 8, 9 months, 12 months at a time.”
So there’s no more secrets on what have happened in jail. Catch the interview on July 6th on Fuse TV. Speaking of secrets, here’s a t-shirt from TI’s AKOO clothing line that we feel speaks to all of us.
So TI appeared as Chelsea Lately’s guest recently and things got really awkward. Chelsea flirted heavily -thank goodness she was funny, because if she weren’t, it would come across as annoying.
But our man Tip is adorable as always. He even joked when asked about his upcoming wedding with Tiny, saying that they were already married, divorced and that Tiny took everything. He also highlighted his recent gig: becoming the face and creating an exclusive V.S.O.P. blend for Remy Martin and also mentioned his thriving clothing line, AKOO, which is doing really well on its second season.
Speaking of AKOO’s second season collection, here are some of our favorites:
In our hotness lineup today is the Kid Rock who thinks highly of the King of The South. As you probably might have heard, Kid Rock and TI are making good music together. Kid rock stated in an interview:
“I’ve done a track with T.I. called ‘Wanted’. I took him in a very different direction with steel guitars. It’s a very bluesy country-fried vibe. Then we put these big beats on it and he just blazed it.”
Tip and blues? Interesting!
Kid Rock also mentioned about a possible mash-up between his song “Cowboy” and Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive” -understandable considering Kid Rock’s relationship with Bon Jovi where he used to support the band during their residency at London’s O2 Arena. Kid Rock continued:
“Me and Jon (Bon Jovi) had talked about mashing up my song ‘Cowboy’ with Bon Jovi’s ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’. T.I. heard it and really wanted to run with it. But we changed the whole track so there are no elements of those songs, except for the word ‘Wanted’.”
Tip might be down with the rock and bluesy vibe, but he’s also lending his voice to Enrique Iglesias’ sexy song: “I Like It”. Enjoy the summer hit and look for Tip’s contribution… right here.
