T.I. to Testify in Trial of Friend’s Killer

T.I. is expected to take the stand tomorrow in the trial of Hosea Thomas, who, along with his brother Padron, stands accused of murdering Tip’s friend Philant Johnson in 2006 following an incident at a Cincinnati club.
From Cincinnati’s Local 12 News:
The incident apparently started with a fight at a Roselawn club where T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, performed. The fight spilled onto I-75.
Prosecutors say Thomas and his brother, Padron Thomas, started shooting at the van in which T.I. and his entourage were riding. When the gun battle ended at the Seymour Avenue exit, Johnson was dead and four others in the vehicle were hurt. T.I. was not hit.
*Waits for some asshole to call Tip a snitch*

November 18th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
My question would be, does your man lie about other shit outside of getting pussy? Cuz if he’s not a liar in general, he’s not going to lie about smashing a broad, no matter who she is.
^
ma cuz be lieing to da point i wanna punch dat nicca dead, wit some str8 type cartoon stories … this nicca tells me he takes this breezy out , she grabs his hand and puts it on her tattas sometime while dey was strollin or w/e …. he almost smashed xcept she ddnt wanna cheat on her man .. this comin from a nicca who claims to hav smashed upwards of 80 breezies is real suspect to me . smh but i be lafn cos his stories r jus ridic.

if your best friend died, you wouldnt tell the police who killed him?
what kinda shit is that?
if you gonna do the crime, then be prepared to deal with the consequences
you a REAL bitch if you gonna do something then get scared and not want ppl to tell.
November 18th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
funny thing is if this was 50 or somebody else testifing, eskay your response would be different…….look at tony yayo working with the cops on the tv show, and you said where you from they don’t fuck with the jakes…..but then T.I. does a crime stop commercial and you had nothing to say about that…hmmm

sugar, you got a point, but carbs?
carbs get a bad rap. . . carbs are energy, and they’re bad if you don’t use them. . . that’s when they turn to fat. so if you drink gatorade after you work out, you’ll burn the carbs off .

n Damon Dash’s latest jab at Jigga he claims that Kanye West “hated Jay-Z” since the God MC refused to welcome him into the Roc-A-Fella camp by giving him a chain at a 2003 concert in Chicago.
According to a soon-to-be published interview with Complex Magazine, Dash says that Jay was supposed to give Kanye the chain in a knight-like gesture during the show, but reneged. Dash says that he had to give Ye his own chain. “That shit cost $40,000,” Dash told Complex. “I told Kanye, ‘Yo you got to give me that back when we get off stage.’”
The Daily News, who leaked the sneak peek from the Complex piece, says one of Kanye’s reps completely denounced the story calling it “ridiculous and totally false.” The News also cites anonymous sources saying that Dash is just trying to gain publicity and hype Jim Jones, with whom he recently launched “Hip-Hop Monologues: Inside The Mind Of Jim Jones.” Complex.com plans to post the full interview on Wednesday. -Michael Cohen

rappers are making snitching a cool thing to do. Yes WE CAN
November 18th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
T.I. is a snitch. live by the gun die by the gun. you can’t go through your whole career talkin all dat tough guy gun talk, like you the realest and hardest nigga in the street and when YOUR friend gets shot you run to the cops. whateva street credibility he had left will be gone once he takes the stand tomorrow. anybody can see that this is why he only got a year and community service cause he agreed to take the stand. lames on here will say “it was his friend” ,but this is the same shit dat goes on in the hood everyday. some nigga in your hood snitches on a nigga from another hood and ho ass niggaz give him a pass and say “at least he didn’t snitch on me or nobody from our hood.” T.I. IS A SNITCH.
November 18th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
SOME OF THESE DUDES SOUND STUPID
THIS AINT LITTERAL SNITCHING I SUPPORT TIP FOR THIS
HIS FRIEND WAS KILLED AND FINALLY SOME JUSTICE FOR SOMEONE WHO DIED!
TIP DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO
November 18th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
^^^SNITCH.
November 18th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
TI IS A DISGRACE TO HIS BOY AND HIS FAMILY
YOU WAIT UNTIL YOUR JAMMED UP BY THE FEDS FOR BUYING ARMY WEAPONS AND FACING 10 YEARS, TO START TELLING ON THE PEOPLE WHO KILLED YOUR MAN. YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR MAN AND WHO KILLED HIM. YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT GETTING OFF YOUR CASE. IF TI REALLY CARED ABOUT HIS BOY, THEN THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE SHOOTING HE WOULD HAVE WENT AND TOLD THE COPS WHO DID IT.
IF RIGHT AFTER HIS FRIEND GOT KILLED, TI WENT TO THE POLICE TO DO THIS, IT WOULDN’T BE A BIG DEAL. BUT NO, THIS PIECE OF SHIT, ONLY TALKS WHEN HE GOT CAUGHT WITH THEM GUNS.
IF IT WASN’T FOR TI GETTING POPPED BY THE FEDS, HE WOULD HAVE NEVER DONE THIS. SO THAT MEANS HE DON’T CARE FOR HIS MURDERED FRIEND, HE ONLY CARES ABOUT GETTING HIMSELF OUT OF TROUBLE.
YOUR A FUCKIN DISGRACE TO YOUR PHILANT JOHNSON AND HIS FAMILY.
YOUR A SNITCH AND WORSE THAN A SNITCH
November 18th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
AND TO A NIGGA LIKE ESKAY IF HE CARED ABOUT HIS FRIEND HE WOULDA TOLD A LONG TIME AGO HE WOULDNT HAVE WAITED TO GET BAGGED BY THE FEDS TO DO IT
WHY THE FUCK ARE U ZOMBIES GIVEN THIS NIGGA A PASS
AS SOON AS HE GOT OUT OF JAIL HE DID A SONG CALLED “HUNT EM DOWN” TALKING ABOUT GETTING REVENGE AND BUSTIN GUNS NOW HES READY TO TAKE THE STAND!?!?!!
taking the stand and pointing a nigga out isnt snitching???
and if you listen to the song “dead and gone” t.i. said it himself if he didnt punch one of the dudes in the face that probably wouldnt have happened…
with that said you punch a nigga in the face…he shoots at you…your homie dies…then you go to court and tell on him…AND THATS NOT SNITCHING????
LMAOOO THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END….
November 18th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
t.i. is not going to be id’ing anybody in court. he’s just going to testify about what happened that day. they was in the club, shit poped off and then his homie got popped. they didn’t see the shooters. they shot the car up .
November 18th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
y’all niggas don’t know anything about the streets, this is snitching, it goes against everything TI tries to make us believe
November 18th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
There’s a thing called “He refused to work with authorities.” as in Busta’s case
November 18th, 2008 at 6:51 pm

go visit a prison and ask if this is ok?

Your a ass how is a nigga gonna magically know the name of the dudes that shot his friend they aint get caught till after tip got bagged. And anyone knows if u on probation or any form of bail if your subpena’d for court you show up or go to jail and thus reversing his plea deal after pleading guilty. TIP better get on that stand fuck your faggot ass you fake internet thug. REAL THUGS DON’T OWN COMPUTERS OR COMMENT ONLINE
November 18th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
king blair
stupid, he ain’t gotta know dat nigga name he just has to say that “looks” like the niggaz who shot us. he don’t gotta say names dickface. i.d. don’t mean a nigga name and address
November 18th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
REAL THUGS DON’T OWN COMPUTERS OR COMMENT ONLINE …LOL.
dude is right… So what is T.I to do.. not say anything .. his homeboy got killed that night.. it would be disrespect to his life if he didnt get on that stand.. I lost a real close homeboy to me… we both got shot at while driving.. till this day dunno who did it… he died within seconds.. bullet went through his back straight to the heart. If i had a chance to finger this guy who did it..I would… thats the only path to redemption for the loss of a true friend. R.I.P Chris

Snitching is tetifying against a Co-Defendent retards
Being a stand up citizen is being a witness. It’s dumb ass ppl like yall who live in your moms basement with these mafioso fantasies and act hard. And being in the situation TIP in he would be a fool to refuse to testify as his bail would be revoked. And he would face more charges.
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO SNITCH ON PPL YOU DON’T KNOW OR HAVE NO BUSINESS WITH. THERE IS A DIRECT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SNITCHING AND BEING A WITNESS.
November 19th, 2008 at 1:34 am
SNIATCH! jk
November 19th, 2008 at 2:23 am
while i am not saying ti is or is not a snitch i would like to point out a major flaw in king blairs comment about snitching… the basic origin of snitching comes from the mafia snitching deffinatly included telling on a rival gang member.. even if they shot you with no prior run in or even knowledge of that gang… if you survived you would not go on as a witness in a trial, you would kill him like a g that tryed to buy army guns from your body gaurd aka cia agent hahahahhahaha
