FORREST CITY, Ark. – The party’s over for T.I.
The rapper showed up – late – to begin his year-and-a-day sentence on a weapon charge Tuesday, making his entrance in a black conversion van as fans screamed, “We love you, T.I!”
The Grammy winner threw himself a bash Sunday night in his hometown of Atlanta, where he thanked the crowd for its forgiveness and asked the crowd to pray for him while he was in prison.
“See y’all in 366 days,” said T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris.
The self-proclaimed “King of the South” will be known inside the prison in Forrest City by guards as federal prison inmate No. 59458019.
“We treat all our offenders in the same manner,” Traci Billingsley, a prison spokeswoman, said.
T.I. had faced a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each charge in his three-count indictment. He reached a plea deal with prosecutors after spending time on house arrest before his sentencing and speaking before community groups and high schools about the dangers of drugs, violence and guns.
