“T.I gets arrested before his porformance at the BET Hip Hop Awards”

Rapper T.I. was arrested on federal gun charges just hours before he was scheduled to perform at the BET Hip Hop Awards. T.I was arrested in a federal sting Saturday after his bodyguard-turned-informant delivered three machine guns and two silencers to him, according to a Justice Department statement. Authorities said that T.I gave his bodyguard 12,000 dollars to buy the weapons, which he is not allowed to own because he is a convicted felon. He was taken into custody about 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Atlanta, where the BET award show was filmed.
