Facing Financial Difficulty, Rapper T.I. Puts His Cars And Auto Business UP FOR SALE!!! - MediaTakeOut.com™ 2008


FACING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY, RAPPER T.I. PUTS HIS CARS AND AUTO BUSINESS UP FOR SALE!!!
 







January 14, 2008. It appears that hip hop star T.I.'s criminal charges are beginning to affect him financially. A person close to the Atlanta native tells MediaTakeOut.com that TI has begun to sell off his assets.

According to a source close to T.I., the rapper is feeling the pressure of the upcoming trial. The insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "It's not like T.I.'s broke, but now that he can't tour - money's not coming in like it used to."

TI is reportedly selling off his interest in popular Atlanta auto shop Elite Auto. And MediaTakeOut.com has learned that he's also in the process of selling off a number of his personal automobiles.

The insider told MediaTakeOut.com, "He knows that [there's a possibility] that he'll be in prison for a long time, so he's doing what he can to make sure that his family will have enough to live comfortably without him."

    You get the bail money back if you show up for court.

    I don't believe it, all them albums he sold, and he gettin money from being in the movies. Maybe those ventures are unsuccessful and he is trying recoup his investment. You know, the kind of business acumen that is shown in the real world

    according to these nuts in your mouth, shut the fuuck up mediatakeout! The day TI goes broke is the day I believe your site is a reliable source

    and MissKeke he isn't trying to act gangsta it's just in him! There is nothing fake about him, that is how that niggga was raise!

    Remember when TLC and Toni Braxton filed bankruptcy? We wondered how they could be crying broke when they sold millions of CD's. A lot of artists get advances from record companies that the companies must recoup. So artists are already playing catch up while trying to project the image that they are balling. It wouldn't surprise me if this were happening to T.I. So he might have to sell his material possessions for his legal defense and to have money for his family.

    I have never heard of anyone getting any money back when you bond out of jail. He probably will face some jail time and that is sad, he just really got his career popping good. Hopefully, he will not get anything put probation and if he does he really needs to make sure he keeps his life straight.

    MTO and anybody else who believes that this platinum selling artist is in financial difficulty are some gullible ppl. Come on this man makes millions off of his music, and he been on house arrest. How much spending could he have done to stuck in the house?

    @ Chelly.....Tiny has opened as travel agent business, so she is trying to help.

    @celebpsychic......shouldn't u know that, you're the psychic.

    @FelonysHobby.....The man has his own record label Grand Hustle.

    These dumb @ss comments are the reason why rumors like this perpetuate. If you use that powerful thing in ur skull and think sometimes, these ppl wouldn't have to fight off these outrageous rumors.

    I don't believe sh!t without proof and MTO never has it so I refuse to believe. That girl Tamika from Xscape said if TI had to do a bid his family would be straight. And she didn't say from selling his cars either.

    Oh and if it is true he should of thought of his family before he bought all those damn guns, and should have thought of the persons family who he could have potentially harmed with those guns. Ignorant ass. "THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER GAVE YOU N!GGAS MONEY"!

    You must understand that when an artist has a large income they live their lifestyle as such... Mortgage, family expenses, lawyers, publicist, cars, bills, etc. (They must all be paid for) When you are on house arrest and not being paid... that lack of incoming income can put a financial strain on anyone. Especially artist with higher steady outflow of money coming out the back account monthly. Basically I believe it! Good luck TI, lets make better choices next time.

    He aint no broke...

    I'm pretty sure he probably got something put up for a rainy day, but he's probably selling most of his assets to free up a little money, just in case...

    People on here talking about all the albums he made he cant be broke. Im from the atl and know for a fact that his first three albums didnt sell like that. if you werent from here u didnt know too much about them. He only sold like 50,000 of those which were I'm Serious, Trap Musik, and i cant remember the one before that one, but he wasnt making too much off of the albums as he was trappin. Now when Urban Legend came out thats when he was thumping, and then followed King, and then the latest one which to me was not even worth it. He's commercialize a lot and when was underground or whatever, he was much more respected out there cause he was being real but i guess he realized being real wasnt getting him wehere he wanted to be so he went mainstream, got cocky, and is going through what he is now. Keep in mind he has 3 or 4 kids.
    I'm a fan of T.I., always has and always will be but you gotta know that facts before you speak.

I have several friends in the "industry" & trust by the time management,distribution, and everyone else gets there money and not too mention supporting their unnessarily lavish lifestyle--spending $ on Sh*t Bill Gates wouldn't even waste his money on. SHIIIIIII, they livin from paycheck to paycheck. People seriously, The richest man keeps account of every dime he spends. Oh, and for those who think T.I. paid that 3mil bail out of his pocket, think again. Two execs threw in over a 100,000 each to help T.I. make bail----This is fact. Get IT TOGETHER

    Pepper_01 & everyone who thinks T.I. got all this mone--GET YOUR FINANCIAL SAAVY UP, BCUZ it's lacking in a major way.

    @ I got this

    Wrong !

    What got T.I. into this was his own ignorance !

    He was a typical, stupid young black male who believes that his manhood is based on how easily he can kill another black man with those illegal weapons he bought !

    He is guilty of being stupid beyond belief !

    He had it made in life, and he threw it all away just to look tough ! And now his family will suffer for his ignorance.

    @ slb2026

    I wasn't tirading against T.I. per se, it was against the idiots in here who think T.I. has money based on the fact that they see him on TV !

    most nyggas don't have a clue what "rich for real" looks like, and it certainly ain't T.I.

    Example: Denzel, Will Smith.....Not rich

    Oprah, Bill Gates, Donald Trump......Rich !

    ‘Why so Serious?"

    FelonysHobby
    T.I. may have his own label but that doesn't mean he's making long money. When you are the hottest artist on your own label, your label isn't that strong. When Master P was hot and No Limit Records was the place to be, Master P wasn't even the hottest artist on his label..he had Mystikal, Silkk the Shocker, and even Snoop Dogg for a minute.

    Who does T.I. have? Young Dro? T.I. even admitted that he aint even where Master P was when P was hot. Plus legal defenses aint cheap, ask OJ, Mike Tyson, Michael Jackson, & R.Kelly. Hell R.Kelly has to come out with a CD every year just to pay his lawyers and R.Kelly been hot for at least 15 years.

    At least he taking care of his business to make sure his family is taken care of. I hope he doesn't rat. My problem is all the haters who think its good that he's going to jail. Go kill ya-self. It's never good that a black man is going to jail. T.I. grew up under the same surcumstances as I, but people like Kattdaddy2 wouldn't understand that. It's hard growing up having to go to school and help your mom pay bills for the household. Have you tried paying rent at the age of 14? Where we are from, you better be willing to die for your respect or you'll get messed over all your life. Why doesn't anyone want to talk about a month earlier when a van, that ti was in, was shot up and one of his security guards died. The man was trying to protect himself (And where I'm from, we die behind our's). And on top of that you say that the man isn't rich. Well in my book anything over $1 million is rich. The man ownes grand hustle records. Anything young dro, b.g., d.j. drama, mac boney, etc. makes as far as trakkz, verses, songs, and albums ti gets a cut of it. Not to mention numerous stocks and bonds, elite auto shop, five platnum albums, and numerous real estate property's. I guess you didn't know people from the streets think about things like that. It's a new year and lame n!gg@z still actin like b!tchz. I hope he beats all his charges to keep you hate'n n!gg@z employed but if he doesn't feel free to hate on me.

    P.S. The man paid 2.2 million dollars to bond out of jail and you say he doesn't have money.

    @peppers. Wasn't Tiny caught with Weed and Ecstasy the same time T.I was busted? Yes,she was. Therefore,she is just as ignorant as T.I for spending their money on things that will have no value in 5 years. Like I said, @ least T.I is trying to make up for it but often times it's after the damage is done. Too bad this had to happen before he came to his senses. (The child tax credit was an underhanded comment that I shouldn't have said. I still think T.I could do better)

    @ Last of the real

    WTF makes you think I ain't from the streetz potna ???

    Because I don't condone T.I.'s stupidity ???

    Because I don't give him a pass ???

    This is what the F@%#K is wrong with us, we keep givin nyggas a pass when they do ignorant shyte and we accept that shyte !

    White folks don't support their serial killers and murderers, why should we support "our criminals" ?

    Lastly, If he cared a rat's @ss about his family, he wouldn't be sooo stupid and put them in joepordy like he did !

    So miss me with this "he takin care of his family crap" !

    This really doesn't mean he is broke. Just look at it like this. This man have bills that need to be paid every month(lawyer, childsupport, mortgage, cars, credit cards, all kinds of expense)-Yeah Im good with money, I have my own business. Ok, back to my point. Let's just say he have over 5mill in the bank "now". Ok his main income come from touring but he still have other investments that bring in "Extra Money" like real estate and his record company. If his main income is not coming in like it use to, any smart person, will start selling off things that they don't need like(his cars) or a business deal that may not be doing good(like Elite Auto). He might be doing this so that he dont have to pay for lawyer fees and other shyt from his 5+mill in his bank account. That money might be for lil Mama to hanlde the household expenses "just in case". Remember he will always have extra money coming in, the man own a construction company & Grand Hustle. Now if he was broke he would be selling his house, Grand Hustle and probably is clothes on Ebay like Gray Coleman. HE AINT BROKE...STOP LETTING RUMORS FEED YOU, YOU WILL END UP WITH A SICK STOMACHE. Oh yeah, he is working on a new album right now!

    Why do black people like seeing other black people FAIL? Started with slavery. The one's on the outside working in the yard was always jealousy of the house slavey. Make no sense...Let's do better people!

    OK, I don't expect nyggas to understand or know what real money is, since most nyggas is broke, been broke all they lives, and everybody they know is broke, but here goes.

    FACTS: T.I. DID NOT PAY HIS BAIL, THE NYGGAS WIT REAL MONEY DID (RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVES)

    T.I. DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO PAY HIS OWN BAIL. IF HE ACTUALLY OWNED 100% OF ALL THE SHYTE YALL SAYIN HE OWNED, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS.

    ALL THE SHYTE T.I. OWNS DON'T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO COVER ALL THE EXPENSES OF HIS LIFESTYLE PER MONTH.

    HE CAN'T SELL HIS HOUSE BECAUSE IT'S PART OF HIS BAIL AGREEMENT.

    (WHY DO WE LIKE TO SEE OTHER BLACK PEOPLE FAIL)

    WE DON'T DUMB@SS, HE DID THIS TO HIMSELF !

    uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhh Kat Daddy, you look like anything but a KATdaddy--YOU ARE A BONAFIED HATER and please take that phot down because YOU"RE NOT HOT!

    You look like the type that tried to make it in the music industry but you were too corny so you were probably thrown back into the real world.

    What everyone fails to realize is that SOMETIMES, people ACTUALLY do have investments, now I'm not sure if T.I. sold his first albums though a record company, or on his own, but one thing that I do know is you're better off hustling your own S*** and obtaining sponsore for your tours because record companies are PIMPS! That's why the record industry tried to shut prince down when he became independent and sold like $$250,000 copies of his CD at $50 a pop, they knew that if every artist started doing this, the recording industry would be SHUT DOWN! Independent artists are the smartest because they end up making more money for their hard work. Once the record industry gets their hands on you, IT'S A REYNOLDS WRAP! Damn that's some godd foil!
     

    MyLoveIsLikeWoah
    Now I am not EVEN trying to get in the midst of this childish debate ya'll got going on here but its obvious to me that the people who support TI are sort of in denial about how musicians make their money. ANYBODY who has remotely any education about the music industry knows that artists DO NOT make alot of money from their album sales, hardly any. Most of the money artists make comes from their tours. TI cannot tour therefore he is not making alot of money right now. That doesn't mean he is broke, I doubt that but if he has money its coming from the things he is doing OUTSIDE of the music industry. If he is selling his business and cars, its because he is smart enough to know that he doesn't have enough money to last without being able to tour. Simple as that

    I see your point, but all I was really saying is, if you think T.I. got long money you must be ignant because anyone who knows what real long money is wouldn't say that T.I. has it is all I'm saying.

    And by the way, that pic is like a year old, I got "the new blackberry" for a phone now trick !!!
