Grammy Award-winning Rapper TI  back to prison following parole violation and probation. TI has a heart of gold, but now the Rapper heads back to prison for 11 months. A recent suicide intervention didn’t help his case either, when TI rescued a man who was ready to jump to his death from an office building.

A federal judge revoked rapper T.I.’s probation Friday. The Atlanta native, whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., was in federal court following his arrest last month in Los Angeles on suspicion of drug possession. He was on probation after serving 10 months behind bars on federal weapons charges.

“I think Mr. Harris had had about the limit of second chances,” U.S. District Court Judge Charles Pannell Jr. said. During the hearing, T.I. begged Pannell not to send him back to prison, saying he needed to get help for drug addiction. He told the judge he “screwed up” and pleaded for mercy.

“I want drugs out of my life. If I can get the treatment and counseling I need … I can beat this,” T.I. told the judge, according to U.S. attorney spokesman Patrick Crosby. “I need help. For me, my mother, my kids, I need the court to give me mercy.” The judge had no mercy, which some feel the sentence was too extreme, and the whole situation is a shame.
