T.I. has been saying for months that sometimes he can be two people in one person’s body: A calm, cool, collected businessman who can mingle with Hollywood stars and fashion and music moguls at one minute, and then the kind of guy you’d see fighting outside a club.
Well, he wasn’t outside a club, but on Sunday afternoon (June 24) at the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, California, T.I. was involved in a brawl nonetheless. During a luncheon held by Kevin Liles of Warner Music Group (parent company of T.I.’s label, Atlantic Records), the MC got into a fight with Ludacris’ manager Chaka Zulu. According to witnesses, T.I. punched Zulu in the face and a small, brief melee ensued.
The luncheon, called “Make It Happen” (after Liles’ book of the same name), was aimed at power brokers and actress Holly Robinson Peete was the guest of honor. Yung Joc, Musiq, Twista, Brandy, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth and Omar Epps were in attendance, among others.
Ludacris and Zulu are said to have arrived about three hours into the event, with Zulu and Tip’s altercation happening shortly after. At press time it was unclear what had sparked the confrontation.
T.I. needs to sit his ass down and stop acting like a lil bitch. He still mad about the whole grammy situation and he needs to get over that & step his game up.
