Prison-bound rapper T.I. has vowed to keep silent about his looming stint in prison once he is behind bars.
T.I.
The Whatever You Like hitmaker, real name Clifford Harris Jr., was sentenced to year and a day behind bars for illegal weapons charges on Friday morning. The felony charges relate to his 2007 arrest when he was caught trying to buy an arsenal of guns from an undercover FBI agent.
T.I. has been given six to eight weeks to voluntarily report to jail, although the judge acknowledged that he will not actually begin his sentence before 19 May (09) due to prior commitments.
He has regularly spoken out about the effect the charges have had on his family, especially his five young children, but the star insists he won't utter another word on the incident following his sentencing.
The rapper tells MTV News, "This is probably the last time I speak about this. Don't ask me no more questions. Finito." He accepts full responsibility for the trouble he has found himself in, adding, "I showed what you should do (when you make a mistake). If you did it, you did it. Don't try to pass the buck on to someone else."
