I moved several sections dealing with T.I's personal life to the talk page since it should be sourced more strictly to WP:BLP, and it was difficult to understand the info and how it was sourced. Flowanda | Talk 11:26, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest Adding : T.I. is from Atlanta, Ga. More specifically he is from Bankhead, Ga. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kjsimmons (talk • contribs) 18:25, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article claims that T.I. is of Cherokee descent through his grandmother, but neglects to specify which band and which clans he is. It also neglects to specify which grandmother has Indigenous heritage. The source cited for the claim that T.I. is Cherokee is an Instagram post that does not specify that T.I. is Native American. Additionally, none of the Federally-recognized Cherokee bands claims T.I. or his family in their records. Therefore, this sentence and the associated source should be removed from the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.21.81.229 (talk) 02:25, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A section on T.I.'s recent legal issues has been added by at least two different users. Unfortunately, both additions were copyright violations. Note that it is not acceptable to copy and paste text from another source, even if you change the occasional word (or even a lot of the words). At least, not unless that source releases the text under the GFDL, and you make note of the author. Copyright violations are very serious matters, so please be extremely careful before adding this section back to the article. There's no doubt the section belongs here, but we cannot accept copyright violations. --Yamla (talk) 21:47, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no longer an area of this article called "Criminal History", it has been changed to a more politically correct term of "Legal Issues." I have a huge problem with this section that wikipedia will not allow to be edited by the general public. It says: T.I. was arrested on an outstanding probation violation warrant from Florida. The warrant claimed that T.I. did not complete the required number of community service hours he was sentenced for a 2003 assault of a female sheriff deputy at University Mall in Tampa. T.I. was detained by several mall Security Guards at the time of the incident, among them, Jason Phillips (founder of Certified Protective Services), Larry Warner (founder of Tactical Response Services), and Arturo Ortiz, now a security manager in Florida. Here it is talking about his legal issues, but fails to mention his arrest for hitting a deputy until after it says he was arrested for failing to complete his community service. It says several mall security guards detained him at the time of the incident, is this the time of the incident where he assaulted the deputy or when he failed to complete community service hours. Furthermore, it list the private individuals names and companies unrelated to the issue at hand, and this information is not relevant to the article.

It should be noted that the source used to verify T.I.'s legal consequences are not the reliable. A better source would most likely be his own website where he states that he must complete 1500 hours of community service. Veda13 (talk) 07:17, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the Legal Issues section, is it necessary to name the mall security guards and their firms? Seems irrelevant, and just like some unverifiable resume-building. (Dmoon (talk) 20:39, 24 February 2009 (UTC))[reply]

I think when the author wrote: "He was at one time known as Rubber Band Man, a reference to the custom of wearing rubber bands around the wrist to donate wealth in terms of drugs or money"

S/He meant: "He was at one time known as Rubber Band Man, a reference to the custom of wearing rubber bands around the wrist to DENOTE wealth in terms of drugs or money"

DENOTE as in "to signify" (rather than donate: to give)

I'm not sure how to fix this. Can someone help?

Fixed, thanks. SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 22:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The reference to why he was called The Rubber Band Man is incorrect, as is what the term means.

He was called the Rubber Band Man because he had enough money to need to wrap it in rubber bands, and have several "knots" of said money. Dope dealers don't wear bands on their wrists to signify wealth. the rubber bands are kept on the wrist for easy access when counting money or bagging narcotics. Crack cocaine is sometimes packaged in small pieces of plastic bag or saran wrap, which is then rubber-banded to seal it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pendizzle (talk • contribs) 23:16, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the last paragraph of the Legal Issues chapter 'ordered' is misspelled.

No disrespect to T.I. or his many fans, but very few people will want to read 10,000 words on this subject. The article needs to be boiled down to half its present length (or less). Wikipedia is not a repository for storing everything that has ever been said about anything. It is an encyclopedia, whose articles should provide a summary of the essential points in a concise and readable form. You are not doing the world or T.I. any favours by going long; you are wasting people's time. Readers who are not diehard fans will look at an article like this and say, "Nah, can't be bothered."

There was a shooting tonight at his concert at Irving Plaza in lower Manhattan. Some people are reporting that TI is dead. However, this is a breaking story and pretty much nothing is reliably known. [3] Rklawton (talk) 03:47, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I added a one-line mention from the NY Times, seems like a reliable source. Rockypedia (talk) 05:21, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, just a quick question, what's your obsession with the annoying "known professionally as" term? Just tell me. Wikipedia has no rule saying "known professionally as" is only allowed instead of "better known by his/her/the stage names". Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 03:28, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, how is the long term "known professionally by the stage names" not easier to read if he had 2 stage names? And what do you mean see cited sources? Is it because of you obsession with the "known professionally as" term? I just wanna know. Mr.Shadow514 (talk) 22:05, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Those are not really stage names, they are just his lifelong nicknames that he also uses professionally. – notwally (talk) 01:32, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
