No turkey for T.I.
November 9th, 2007 by Mosi Reeves in Music newsOn Wednesday T.I., who is currently under house arrest pending trial on gun charges, filed a motion requesting that he be allowed to have a Thanksgiving party at his house, according to AllHipHop.com.
The rapper also submitted a list of proposed visitors for the judge to approve, who must all undergo criminal background checks, as does any other visitor to see the chart-topping rapper.
T.I. is also forbidden from consuming alcohol even if the motion is granted. He must also pay for additional security guards to police the Thanksgiving Day celebration.
But by the following day, AllHipHop.com reported that T.I. withdrew his request:
T.I. dropped the request today (November 8), citing strong opposition from prosecutors handling the high profile case.
Prosecutors claimed that T.I. was seeking special treatment and said that since his release, he has submitted a list with 95 names, making it difficult for court officials to conduct background checks on each individual.
