T.I. Remembers Late Friend Big Phil W/ Epic Purchase: “We Miss You More Than We Can Express”

Grammy-winning rapper T.I. is making sure the world never forgets his longtime late friend Philant “Big Phil” Johnson. The hip-hop veteran has bought his daughter a new car as a special back to school gift in his memory.

Tip went to Instagram last night (August 22) with footage of his good deed.

Back in 2006, T.I. admitted Phil’s death through a drive-by shooting made him reconsider his life and career.

“I’m kind of like watching my life change right before my eyes. I’m figuring out whether or not I even want to keep doing this [stuff] right now. I don’t know,” said T.I., who spoke at Johnson’s funeral on Monday at Jackson Memorial Baptist Church in Atlanta. (MTV)

Outside of Big Phil, T.I. recently teased a possible adidas Originals collaboration going down.
