MTV Questions What Affect Will T.I.’s Jail Sentence Have On His Career
Unlike Foxy — whose career had hit a plateau before her incarceration last year, and, who, like Remy Ma, did not have as much time to prepare for her prison time — Williams said T.I.’s career won’t likely be derailed by the prison time. The rapper did time in 2003, after being found guilty of violating his probation from an earlier drug conviction. Williams said Tip’s image as someone familiar with the street drug trade and the violence that brings, for good or ill, is inseparable from his rap persona.
“I don’t want to say it happened at a good time in his career, because there’s never a good time to go to prison, but he has established himself with that mystique of his problems in the past, and it’s part of who he is.”
I don’t see this sentence affecting T.I. much, he got off easy. Remy Ma may be in some deep trouble and Foxy album has been pushed back constantly.
