Last week, T.I. talked about being sentenced to 11 months behind bars for a probation violation.

“After this, I will become a better person,” said Clifford Harris, the Atlanta rapper known as T.I. Resigned to spending another 11 months in federal prison, he spent part of this day acknowledging his own responsibility for his undoing. “I am not without flaw. One thing from my flaws that I have always done, I have accepted responsibility,” he said. Harris spoke on V-103 Monday. (11 Alive Atlanta News)
