This is really really good news. T.I. & Ludacris are donating 10 grand apiece to help Atlanta flood victims according to TMZ.

Even behind bars, T.I. is trying to help his community and this comes on the heels of Luda giving away cars last month. They are donating the money via The Ludacris Foundation.

People usually report on the crap rappers do like say Kanye n his outburst, but I prefer stories like this. Good job T.I. n Luda!-Dr.FB

 T.I. reported to jail yesterday in Arkansas for his prison sentence.  Making news, however is the rumors that he got married  to his longtime girlfriend.

Tameka “Tiny” Cottle has been T.I.’s girlfriend since 2001 and if you believe reports, she is now his wife.  Tameka used to be in the R&B group Xscape.  She and T.I. have 2 children together and lost a 3rd when it was stillborn.

Someone inside T.I.’s camp is saying the marriage took place last week and they are husband and wife.  No confirmation has come from T.I.’s camp (outside the unnamed source) or the new wife.  As soon as I know more information, I will pass it on to you.-Dr.FB

T.I. gave his final concert on Sunday before going to jail today on a weapons charge stemming from 2007.  Tickets were just $10.  It was a sell-out crowd of 16,000.

T.I.’s sentence was to be a 366 day sentence but will most likely be drastically reduced.  Can I say something here?  I thought he was already in jail and thy announced his sentence would be shortened.  WTH?  Guess I wasn’t paying attention.  After he gets out, will drinks still be on him?-Dr.FB

So what do you think? Fair sentence, or just a lucky bastard?

Video: DrFB Premire: T.I. Featuring Justin Timberlake “Dead & Gone”

Posted in Celebrity News, Entertainment, Music on February 18th, 2009 by drfunkenberry

T.I. drops “Dead & Gone” with Justin Timberlake. We got your video and music hook-up sprinkled with news. We dropped this song long before there was a “Paper Trail”. Wonder how long until Warner Bros. shuts down this link.

What are your thoughts on this video?-Dr.FB
