In an interview with Billboard Magazine, T.I. revealed how Will Smith attempted to have him released from prison by calling on the “big dawg,” Barack Obama. He also received support from rappers Eminem and Nelly while he was doing time on weapons charges.
Through the years, you’ve mentioned different people being supportive of everything you’ve gone through, including Eminem. Who else has been there to help?
As you mentioned, of course, Em. He was extremely supportive and inspirational during that time. Busta Rhymes, Puffy, Lyor Cohen, Russell Simmons, Nelly, David Banner, Charlie Mack, Will Smith. Will actually went as far as getting in touch with [attorney general] Eric Holder and the Obama administration trying to see if we could get some kind of release. He was very politely told that was not possible.
