T.I. Arrested!+Pre-Bet Hip Hop Awards Fab
@ yesterday’s BET rehearsals
Daaaaaamn Clifford. My Fox Atlanta is reporting that none other than Clifford Harris was arrested in his own ATL home today on some unknown charges. Apparently the Feds raided his home ATL style, put the cuffs on T.I., and is remaining mum about exactly what the charges are. We do know that the ATF, U.S. Marshalls: Fugitive Task Force, Fulton County SWAT, Fulton County PD, Dekalb County PD, and the ATF/Atlanta PD Violent Crime Impact Team were all there executing there very sudden search warrant. While news reports are stating he was arrested from out of his house, other sources say he was arrested in the parking lot where he was scheduled to pick up some machine guns he had paid for illegally. The source also says several of Tip’s homeboys he rolls with on a constant basis are at the root of this arrest. T.I. was supposed to be on the 2007 BET Hip Hop Awards red carpet and stage tonight in Atlanta as well as a huge afterparty, but of course he’s gonna be a no show for the rest of the night.
UPDATE: Authorities are saying one of T.I.’s boys (his bodyguard to be exact) is the one who snitched.
On to the pre-parties…
Celebs hit up the Absolut 100 Luxury Preview Style Suite in the ATL yesterday:
Y’all know Melyssa Ford was there.
YBF chic Alesha Rene hit it up:
Buckeey wants us to believe she’s changed for the better:
And I’m tempted to agree.
Gorilla Zoe was there gettin his Red Bull sip on.
Michael Knight was there.
So this is Princess from Crime Mob?:
Hmmm.
Slim Thugga was there.
It’s just something about D. Wood’s look I’m not feeling these days:
Can’t quite put my finger on it….
Hot damn Big Gipp! I want a shower to happen NOW and I want you to remove that amethyst pinky ring immediately. Thank you.
And Shay and Princess got made over at the booths.
BET Digital and Jermaine Dupri hosted the 2nd Annual Pre-BET Hip Hop Awards Bash:
They really should reconsider taking stand up pics side by side like this.
Cici came along to celebrate.
Oh Busta.
Why does Deborah Lee always look like somebody’s momma who showed up to break up the hood rat party?
Sean Paul of the Youngbloodz was there.
Chamillionaire was there.
So Donell Jones goes missing for a few years and comes back looking like this?
Ed Lover’s in the house.
The fabulous Kenya Moore partied it up:
Melyssa never ceases to amaze me turning her red carpet photos into a private photoshoot:
Not feeling the purse/shoe combo…but she’s still a bad chick.
Nelly Nell was there sans Ashanti.
And Q from 112 and his wife Sharlinda were there. I hear they’ve been on some rocky terms recently too. Good luck to them.
Stay tuned for the 2007 Bet Hip Hop Award red carpet. If these pre-partes are any sign of what’s to come, foolywang material is about to be on and poppin’.

Princess needs a stylist, for her pearls don’t look right. And that purse doesn’t match her outfit.

Clifford - Oh, dear.
D. Woods - The hair just isn’t right. The shirt it too short to pull off with the skinny jeans and boots. And that vest is cute enough, but needs to be worn with something else.
Jermaine - You’re short.

On Oct 13, 2007 at 8:35 pm | Reply | QuoteThis is why i cannot blame Jay Z from dropping some of the ppl he was in the street with. because, he new they would pull his ass down. these rappers need to know once they start making money they’re going to have to get rid of some of their friends. I know some of Jay z friends are bitching, but as my grandmother use to say “prevent is better than cure”

I’m looking at Ciara like did you seriously used to date bow wow?
The Herve L dress is so PLAYED out!!! I’m sorry played is played no matter how fab. Everytime I see somebody rocking one I think of Kim K. as much as I can’t stand that skank she made that HER look so I hate to see people copy after she played it out already!

ANYWHO!
Hmm trouble for Ashanti and Nelly? I wouldn’t be too surprised. Damn Princess! Will she ever shake off that ghetto look she had when she lived in the hood? Melissa will always be a bad chick. But damn Mel why that damn purse and shoe combo? Never!
Other than that…stay YBF as always Tash!

On Oct 14, 2007 at 12:08 am | Reply | Quotei just wanna say, that at first i wasn’t feeling the new look AS MUCH as the old one–i never took it to the “change it back or i quit ybf” level. lol. but, i guess it really doesn’t take that long to adapt to change, cuz i’m over it–feeling the change. kudos on the upgrade, natasha!
movin on to the post:
there’s something about melyssa ford that i like. i remember when she first came out, i really tried to “hate”–lol–but, she seems like a smart girl and pretty down to earth. she looks like she likes takin pics, but ain’t nothing wrong with that!
kenya moore’s gorgeous. it looks like she’s gonna age in a classy way.
buckey, buckey, buckey. when i first saw her on fol, i thought she was too good for the foolishness, but lately she’s just been looking foolish all the time to me. first that blonde weave and now THIS! it’s so hard to go wrong with black weave, but something in the milk ain’t clean with this look!
that is all.

They knew that this was his weekend to shine in his own hometown “Da Dirty South” and somebody didn’t want that to happen!

On Oct 14, 2007 at 12:56 am | Reply | QuoteTee, it was planned because they knew where he was to arrest him. I did also see him and Melyssa Ford along with others talking about the “rap video” industry. It was a great topic on all levels. I thought T.I. was a little disrespectful to the man of the cloth. I did not realise how handsome Nelly is when his mouth is closed, but when he speaks he is educated. Janets man (JD) is short.

On Oct 14, 2007 at 1:52 am | Reply | QuoteWhat i want to know is why the fuck he felt like he NEEDED all that heavy artillery weaponry and shit? What made him feel like he NEEDED it in the first place? What shady shit was he pulling? Because T.I. strikes me as harmless with few enemies, WHAT did he see himself as protecting himself from? I mean, really???
See ya’ll. Er’body wondering why Jay-Z ain’t wanna have shit to do with his old drug days friends like that Calvin Klein cat, see what kinda shit happens when you start rooting around in that old shit? Everything you build, all the positive moves you make, can FALL in an INSTANT if you get caught up in the wrong shit with the wrong people. This here is proof positive.
Its a damn shame. I liked me some Clifford, too.

Q’s wifey is rocking the same Nine West shoes I wore to your B.Day bash in DC…that was in May. She needs to retire them joints…they are two seasons’ ago hotness. Let it go sweetie…just let it go.
D.Woods needs to fix her hair…the longer part needs an adjustment. She should have rocked a fitted-tee (not something a size small but fitted)…buttoned the vest…rocked some better accessories…wear a belt and some jeans to actually match/compliment the outfit (dark denim maybe?).
And Melyssa Ford’s dress was very cute!
