T.I. Holds Auditions For His New Strip Club In Atlanta

1600 women came out to Tip's job fair. After proving himself as a successful artist and A&R, T.I. has set his sights on a new industry. The rapper put out an open call for dancers for a strip club he's getting ready to open up in Atlanta this weekend, and it seems he's already off to a good start, as around 1600 women came out for the job. TMZ has shared some footage from the auditions, and they report that only 100 of the 1600 hopefuls were selected to be considered for T.I.'s V Live club. Tip is said to be launching the venue with his business partner, Damon Cobbs.

T.I. Posts Angry Video Message For Donald Trump

T.I. has some strong words for Donald Trump. As Donald Trump continues to remain the frontrunner for the GOP nomination, big names from the hip-hop world have begun to proclaim their disapproval of his potential presidency. Just yesterday, John Legend called Trump a racist in a Twitter back and forth with the real estate tycoon's son (Donald Jr.), and a few days ago, Chris Brown went on a heated Instagram tirade (in written form) against Trump's allegedly racist policy stances. Rapper T.I. is the latest to voice his opposition to the controversial candidate, as he went on Instagram today to post a video message directly intended for Trump's own ears. "Donald Trump, this message is for you," began the Grand Hustle boss. "My name is Clifford "T.I.P." Harris. I say this as nonviolently but unapologetically as possible: Fuck you and fuck what you stand for! Nobody who supports me will support you. End of message."

T.I. No Longer With Columbia Records

T.I. has "exited his deal with Columbia Records." Last weekend, T.I. surprised fans with a brand new 5-track EP out of the blue titled Da Nic’. However, what most of us failed to notice was it was released independently through Empire Distribution because Tip is no longer a member of Columbia Records, the home of his latest album Paperwork. Speaking with HitsDoubleDaily in a recent interview, Tip confirmed his departure from Columbia and said he’s currently looking for his next move. He says, "Having just exited my deal at Columbia, I was a rogue artist, busting creativity, just waiting to put music in the marketplace, so while I’m sorting out my next situation, I’m blessed enough to be able to control my destiny and put music out as quickly as I want to, and was able to release a Tip album, which I had wanted to do for a long time." No word yet as for what he’s going to do for his next album The Dime Trap, but maybe that’s what’s causing the delay? Look for The Dime Trap to drop before the year’s end (hopefully).

Stream T.I.'s New EP "Da' Nic"

With little notice, T.I. releases a brand new 5-track EP called "Da Nic." As we reported earlier, T.I. decided to surprise his fans tonight (@midnight) by releasing a brand new EP out of the blue called Da' Nic. Led by the single “Check Run It,” Da Nic comes with only 5 tracks in total and features guest appearances from fellow ATL trappers Young Thug & Young Dro who appear on the previously heard collab “PBJ.” It serves as a nice little warm up to his upcoming album The Dime Trap, which drops later this year. Available now on iTunes, Da Nic can be streamed in its entirety for free thanks to the good folks at Vevo.

Police Sketch Bears Strange Resemblance To T.I., According To Twitter

Twitter users found a police sketch released yesterday looked an awful lot like T.I. Yesterday, Fox 5 Atlanta reported on an attempted abduction in Atlanta, sharing a police sketch of the man in question. The picture drew a fair amount of attention on Twitter, unfortunately not to bring awareness to a dangerous threat in the neighborhood, but instead the drawing's strange resemblance to rapper T.I. The image was passed around on social media, with users commenting on the coincidental look-a-like. While it's not really a subject to joke about, it's easy to see the comparison. Just to be clear, it goes without saying that T.I. didn't actually have anything to do with the incident. Take a look at the tweets from users below. Do you see any resemblance between the sketch and the ATL rapper? Meanwhile, T.I. is said to be working on his 10th studio album, which -- last we heard -- is set to be titled, The Dime Trap.
