Tip said the biggest competition he has for movie roles is with himself.

The rapper – who made his acting debut in teen drama ATL in 2006 – stars in new crime thriller Takers, which he also executive produced, but doesn’t see other rapper-turned-actors such as 50 Cent and Ice Cube as rivals. TI said: “I don’t feel any. I don’t feel any competition. I don’t feel like I’m competing with anyone but myself. If anyone else does feel like that, it must suck to be them. But I don’t feel like that.” (The Press Association)

I learned a lot from his methods of acting and we hit it off personally as well as professionally. “Everybody was humbled. Everybody was down to earth. I loved working with Idris as well as the rest of the crew.” Takers is released 17th September. (Female First)
