Federal weapons charges, with their accompanying harsh sentences, are enough to take down anyone.
Yet since his guilty plea a year ago, Atlanta rapper T.I. has enjoyed the greatest success of his career.
But one of the world’s best-known rap artists is due to take a one-year hiatus at a federal detention facility.
According to the plea agreement, T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., will be sentenced today to one year and a day.
The extra day means T.I. can carve 15 percent off his sentence with good behavior. Under U.S. Bureau of Prison rules, inmates can earn such credit only if they are sentenced to longer than a year in prison. T.I. should serve an estimated 298 days —- or a little less than 10 months. He is expected to get credit for the two weeks he sat in jail after his arrest and before posting a $3 million bond.
