T.I. and Tiny Arrested: “Jail Made Me Worse”

It seems that some people just can’t get enough of prison. Some people say that once you get in trouble with the law, you stay in trouble with the law. This especially holds true for those who seem to be constantly in and out of jail. You may hear some people joke that jailbirds are only out of prison on vacation and will be going right back in. Well, for T.I. it seems this may be true. Is he now officially a jailbird? The other day, the King of rap and his wife Tiny were arrested during a routine stop by West Hollywood police. When they smelled marijuana smoke in the vehicle, the two were arrested for possession of a controlled substance. Bond was set at $10,000, which they posted and were set free at 4:00 in the morning.

Some people are wondering if this will be the fall of his career, especially if he is locked up again. In an interview, T.I. made a few comments, saying that jail actually made him worse.

“When I was goin’ through it (prison), I really felt like it added insult to injury. The lesson had already been learned. I already understood the errors in my ways and made the adjustments necessary.

“It did make me worse in a sense that, before I went in, I was already on the path of positivity. Putting me in prison took me off that path a little bit, and now I’m working to get back on that path – or at least back on the path to the extent that I was before I went in.

“I’m still not as bad as I was before this incident, but I lost a little bit of my positive focus during that period of incarceration. Being in that environment and having those daily surroundings, it’s going to affect you.”
