T.I. Addresses Sexual Assault Accusations in New Music Video

The news has not been friendly to T.I. in the past year

To be fair, T.I. has always been a man of controversy, having spent multiple outings in jail during the heights of his musical career.  However, this past year, he and his wife, Tiny, have been under an avalanche of sexual assault charges.

The Hip-Hop power couple has very strongly and publicly denied every charge.  The most blatant example came earlier this week, with T.I. putting out a music video for his song, ‘What It’s Come To.’  In this video, we see a gaggle of women conspiring to take down Tip and his wife for big money.  He displays exactly how he feels, showing each woman jumping at the opportunity to ruin the lives of him and his missus.  The bars match the visuals, one particular dagger being “Go put your face and reputation on it/The kinda claims deserve more than anonymous provocative conversations, don’t it.”

In the hopes that T.I. is innocent, this video is honestly quite powerful.  As an MC in his 40’s, Tip proves himself to be in great rapping shape.  He comes through with deep lyrics delivered by a masterful flow and emotionally centered performance.  Coming out in late May, it turns out that this track is actually a lead single to his supposed retirement album, ‘Kill the King.’

With the amount of suspicion raised against T.I. and Tiny, we’re hoping that this video is on the right side of things.  We would hate to see Tip bring heavy disgrace upon himself, but at least he’s confident enough to claim innocence in such a bold manner.  As the legal cases continue, we’re sure to hear more info when his “final” album drops.  Let’s hope that justice prevails for the deserving party.
