Rapper T.I. was arrested at his Atlanta home right before he was supposed to apepar on the BET Hip Hop Awards.

The rapper was charged with trying to purchase machine guns and silencers illegally. His home was searched by the ATF (Beurou of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) after his bodyguard was arrested trying to purchase machine guns and silencers. The bodyguard said T.I. asked him to purchase the guns for him because he isn't allowed to, being a convicted fellon.

But T.I.'s camp states that this is another attempt to pin charges on the rapper. A source spoke to Media Take Out and told them that they weren't guns for T.I.

"[The bodyguard] asked TI for an advance on his [pay] and TI gave it to him .... Whatever he spent money on - whether it be guns, drugs, or formula for his children - TI had nothing to do with it." The insider continued, "The government was just looking to pin a case on TI - they've been trying for years. So they pushed [the bodyguard] into snitching on TI."

I don't know what to believe, but I think I'm going to side with the bodyguard. For now. We'll see what happens and how this all ends.
