Bossip Exclusive: T.I. Says His New VH1 Project Is Not A “Reality Show” And Isn’t Really About Him

If you ask T.I. to give you some information about his upcoming reality show on VH1, he will not hesitate to correct you and let you know that that’s not what he’s working on at all. “I don’t like to call it a reality show,” he told BOSSIP yesterday, “because I feel like that undermines the integrity of the project. What we’re shooting is a documentary that offers viewers an inside look at all of the different facets of my life, most importantly me as a man and a father.” T.I. went on to explain that the new show, titled “Family Hustle” focuses much more on his family than it does him. While that may surprise T.I. fans who are used to him being fairly private when his children are concerned, he says that this wasn’t exactly his idea. “This is what the family wanted to do,” T.I added. “One of my sons wants to be a rapper, so he wants to showcase his talents and put ‘em out there. My daughter [Tiny’s oldest Zonnique] has the OMG Girlz and they’re doing really well. King wants to be an actor, my other daughter wants to sing. So they told me this is what they wanted to do, and I went out there and made it happen.” The show is likely to capture another kind of family drama too. T.I. also revealed yesterday that while the most visible of his Grand Hustle artists are doing well – B.o.B. with his new #1 single “Strange Clouds,” Young Dro who recently released new music, and the OMG Girlz who are currently on the road with the Scream Tour – he isn’t “throwing the building” behind anyone until he sees what they’re really working with. Up next for T.I. is a book tour in support of his new novel “Power & Beauty,” which hits stores on October 18.

T.I.’s Final Message From Prison

As we previously reported, T.I. is expected to be released from prison in Arkansas in September. Tip’s final letter to the fans from prison hit the net yesterday. Check out what the King of the South had to say: What up world? This will be my last message from Forrest City. Just reaching out and sending my love, respect and appreciation to all who have been ridin’ with me throughout this chapter in my life and not just recently but since all the things started happening one after another back in ’06. From Big Phil’s murder to my beautiful little angel Leiah being called home to heaven, to my arrest in ’07, the 1st prison sentence in ’09, to this last journey that I’m nearing the end of. A lot of people who are aware of all that has happened to me in my life say that there aren’t many men who could have endured and withstood so much pain, pressure and turmoil while managing to remain sane and keep their wits about them. I must say that I wouldn’t have been able to do so without God’s grace and having a strong support system behind me every step of the way. So often we spend time acknowledging the presence of “haters” and all the negativity they send our way but we don’t take the time to acknowledge and appreciate all the ones who love and support us and supply us with the positive energy we need to overcome. We complain about the pain so much that we don’t even notice how much stronger, wiser and better of a person the suffering has allowed us to become. I heard Pac say once “To live is to suffer and to survive is to find meaning in that suffering.” I later found out it came from an author by the name of Friedrich Nietzsche. When I heard Pac say that it was just some hard shit to hear your favorite rapper say before he kicked a verse. Now that I’ve gone through it and grown from it those words have a real true meaning to me. I know this won’t be my last battle with adversity but it has truly prepared me for whatever else may come in the future. For that also I’m thankful. Now it goes without saying that I hate I had to come back to prison for these 10 months but I am truly grateful for the knowledge, growth and understanding I’ve received from the experience. Next time you hear from me I’ll be back out there with you. Doing for those who can’t do for themselves and speaking for those whose voices are never heard. When I touch down, I’m going all the way back to square one, like I’m fresh in the game and never sold a record. Back on some I’M SERIOUS, TRAP MUZIK shit… But until then RESPECT to all who deserve it. I’ll be back at you in a minute. – KING T.I. Gets A September 29th Release Date T.I.
