Y’all Know You Weren’t Thinking About Them Before: Celebs Who Gained Fame After Prison

- By

T.I.

T.I. went from selling drugs to selling albums but even though he was a well-known rapper he was still caught up in his first life. Back in 2007 he was arrested after the FBI swooped in and busted him with three unregistered machine guns and two silencers. The arrest came just a few hours before the BET Awards and it was all anyone could talk about for weeks. While he dealt with his ongoing legal troubles, Tip was still releasing albums and his music was more popular then ever. MTV filmed the Atlanta rapper in the weeks before he turned himself in to start his prison sentence. After serving his time, T.I. soon found himself right back in prison but he has since turned his image around and is now a family man living on reality television.
