The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Ne-Yo born Shaffer Chimere Smith was sentenced to 24 hours of community service for reckless driving. Under his sentence, Ne-Yo was also ordered to perform a concert for the Boys & Girls Club, fined $1,000 and required to take a defensive driving course.
The home of the smart, sexy, rich and crazy!
They keep going so we won’t stop.

27 year old rapper T.I. says that fear for his and his family’s safety led to his arrest on gun charges last year. Not an obsession with high powered, illegal weapons, not a lil boy fantasy of bang bang killem up hood style dreams, just a fear for his cheeren. Yeah right. He told BET’s “Access Granted,” in a program that aired Wednesday night, “You can’t assume everyone out there likes you,(that don’t mean they want to kill you dummy) so it’s easy to get caught up in paranoia.” T.I., real name Lil Cliff Harris was busted in Atlanta on Oct. 13, right before he was to perform at the BET Hip Hop Awards. After he realized that saying he was innocent wasn’t going to work, Lil Cliff took a plea deal in March and was sentenced to a year in prison and at least 1,000 hours of community service – talking to kids about guns, gangs and drugs. “I must be a man and stand up and accept responsibility,” he told “Access Granted”. T.I. also said that, while his latest run-in with the law won’t affect his music, “I can’t talk about guns and drugs as elaborately because they’re not part of my life anymore.” Translation it’s a violation of my court agreement and my ass could be sitting in jail for way more than a year if I did.

To his fans, he said, “If you think guns, drugs and violence are cool, I think you are definitely missing the point…. There’s nothing cool about going to jail.” Well said Lil Cliff, well said!

Rapper T.I. started his community service already. He was at Stockbridge High School and heres a few words that he spoke to the kids,
“If any of you know me, you know I’m (gonna) keep it real … I don’t laugh if it ain’t funny. I don’t scratch if I don’t itch. If helping you guys wasn’t something that was a passion of mine — and really something on my heart — I wouldn’t be here,” he told a gymnasium full of 10th and 11th graders who were surprised by the visit.

“… Hopefully the mistakes I’ve made can come across to you. And you can see where I went wrong, so you don’t have to go down the same road.”

Clifford Harris plead guilty to two counts of illegally posessing machine guns and silencers and one count of being a convicted felon with firearms.
He was fined $100,000. He’ll get a prison sentence of one year plus one day. The day allows him to be eligible to earn 15 percent time off for good behavior.
Over the next year, T.I. must perform at least 1,000 hours of community service, which includes speaking to “at-risk young people,” promoting respect for law enforcement, and opposing violence, illegal and reckless use of firearms, illegal drugs and gang activity. WHAT WILL HE RAP ABOUT???

Today Clifford “T.I.” Harris is expected to enter a plea of guilty in his multiple weapons case. Intense negotiations have been ongoing for weeks and sources close to the case say that T.I. will get 1500 hours of community service and 1 year behind bars. The plea deal has to be approved by the federal judge assigned to his case.
