The self-proclaimed King of the South, rapper T.I., is being featured on VIBE magazine‘s year end Dec. 2011 issue.

T.I. had a lot to say about The Gays who currently wield the balance of power in the entertainment industry.

T.I. on all Americans having equal rights:

“Man, I will say this, the funniest joke I ever heard [comedian] Tracy [Morgan] say during a stand-up was, ‘C’mon man, I think gay people are too sensitive. If you can take a dick, you can take a joke.’ [Cracks up laughing.] That shit was funny to me. And it’s kind of true. They’re like,‘If you have an opinion against us, we’re gonna shut you down.’ … That’s not American. If you’re gay you should have the right to be gay in peace, and if you’re against it you should have the right to be against it in peace.’

But T.I., 31, did have some strong words for rapper 50 Cent and others who criticized his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, 36, for not taking the drug charge that sent her man back to federal prison for 11 months.

T.I.: “I’ma tell you, 50 Cent and anybody else, we not gonn’a have no discussion about what my ole lady should’a, would’a, couda done for anything as it pertains to me,” begins his rant. “We ain’t gonn’a do that. I’m the only one in my family that’s gonna take a lick when it pertains to the legal system. Since me, none of my other family members have seen a jail cell. Nobody. I’m the last one. The buck stops here. I feel that a person that stands behind [his woman for a criminal charge] is a coward anyway.”

VIBE: I doubt she would have gotten any time.
“T.I.: She wasn’t gonna catch it period, ’cause I’m there. That wasn’t even a consideration. Even if she asked me to I would’ve been like, “Nah, you trippin’. “

So you didn’t feel you were more valuable to your family, employees and business partners on the street?
T.I.: “That’s a discussion between me and another man. Not with the mother of my children. Not with the nurturer of my household.”

The Dec. 2011 issue featuring T.I. on the cover hits newsstands on December 6th!

UPDATE:

50 Cent responded to T.I.’s statements in VIBE magazine on his Twitter page:

50cent: If U can get 5 years easy 4 some sh*t and I’m the support of my family. Why would it be wrong if ya lady had to take probation? Shit she ballin to lol

T.I. sat down with the ladies on The View yesterday to promote his book
‘Power and Beauty’ and reflect on the changes he’s made in his life…

T.I. tells Barbra Walters,

“I’ve accepted in order to have a different result, you have to take a different approach… which is staying clean and sober.” “I understand why people are so critical of me,” he added. “Nobody is tougher on me than I am on myself.

I love how rappers break out the reading glasses, when they want folks to take em seriously…LOL we see you Tip!

Last week T.I. went back to jail, just hours after being released because him and his thirsty wife decied to let VH1 record his return home,
according to the terms of his release he was not allowed to do any bussiness on his 3hr bus ride home…
It may be messed up, but those were the rules and T.I and Tiny chose not to follow them,

Tiny is now blaming the prison system instead of herself and her man….Tiny says the only reason T.I. is back in jail is because

he’s a celebrity and that prison officials have a vendetta against him…

From TMZ

T.I.’s wife tells TMZ, prison officials are trying to make an example out of her husband by dragging him back to prison — targeting him simply because he’s a famous rapper.

Tameka “Tiny” Cottle tells us, “It’s important that the world know how unfair he’s being treated on such minor charges … all because he’s T.I.”

According to Tiny, T.I.’s the victim of a vicious double standard — “There are way more dangerous and carefree [celebrities] that get slapped on the wrist and sent on their way.”

Tiny adds, “Our family needs [him] … and because of someone’s personal vendetta against him, we have to watch our kids’ sad faces everyday when he still doesn’t show up at home.”

T.I. — who was hauled back to prison last week on his way to a halfway house — is scheduled for release in a few weeks.

 was it a conspiracy when he got caught with pistols and silencers? how about when he got caught with weed and a huge cup of LEAN?
from the mug shot pics, it looks like Tiny was leaning her damn self…
now i love Tiny and T.I. but they just need to admit they hate following rules, and call it a day!
Tiny needs to realize that everything is not a conspiracy…BOP don’t play that mess, they tell you from jump
that ONLY immediate family can transport an inmate to the half way house.
Tiny and T.I. thought they were above the law, and they found out ONCE again they weren’t smh.

Last night Tiny’s Twitter page got hacked, and the hacker was taking no prisoners…
the hacker was probably the chick that Tiny cussed out a few weeks ago over T.I.
this further proves that twitter is the Devil LOL.
The crazy thing is who ever hacked her twitter, must not realized that they’re i.p. address can be traced
they better hope that obama and the white house don’t press charges for the bomb threats.

Tiny aka T.I.’s wife, called her self going off on twitter…
all I can do is smh, why is Tiny even addressing this chick? if your good, then there is no reason to respond…
why is it that BLACK celebs always feel the need to throw money and $$$$ signs in to any confrontational conversation.
o.k. we all know you have money, but do realize that not all of us “regular folks”
are dead broke and standing in the soup line, get over yourself just cause you have “$” don’t mean sh*t.

T.I’s wife TAMEKA ‘TINY’ COTTLE is now claiming to have offered to “take the fall” for the star, but confesses
“it wasn’t able to be done”. I said from jump she should have taken the fall, but i digress….

T.I. has been in and out of prison over the past year and is currently serving an
11-month sentence in Arkansas for violating his probation following a drug arrest in September (10).
The hip-hop star was jailed in November (10) after he and Cottle were detained by police officers
who allegedly found drugs during a search of the couple’s car.

Tiny has now opened up about the circumstances surrounding the arrest,
revealing she was willing to go to prison to help the star avoid another jail sentence. She tells XXL magazine,

“I feel like, if you don’t know the details on it, you can’t say I could take the fall. If I could have, I would have said, ‘Well, yeah, that’s me.’ But it wasn’t able to be done. And for one, there were other people, other friends in the car that could have taken the fall, but it couldn’t happen. “It’s time-out for any nonsense. We know what to do now. Not that we didn’t then, but things happen.
He’s never gonna go back to jail. We can’t have that.”

It’s sounds good Tiny, but only time will tell… T.I.’s recidivism rate isn’t looking to good!!

Ti’s Wife Tiny has just  been charged with one count of misdemeanour  drug possession stemming from her and T.I.’s  arrest in September.

Last month Bonnie and Clyde were arrested in L.A for possession of a controlled substance, after they were pulled over in West Hollywood and found in possession of ecstasy.

Prosecutors charged Tameka Cottle with possession of ecstasy on Friday and she is due in court for an arraignment on Nov. 1 in Beverly Hills.

T.I. however wasn’t charged  by L.A. County District Attorney who rejected the drug case stemming from his arrest last month.

T.I. won’t be prosecuted because he’s already set to serve 11 months in prison for probation violation and is scheduled to turn himself in by November 1st.
I don’t feel bad for either of them they are adult but, i do feel bad for the babies…
