Rapper T.I. has long been awaiting his final day in court on Friday, where he will be sentenced for his felony conviction of illegal possession of firearms. After taking a plea deal, serving 500 hours in community service and paying $100,000 in fines, he is expected to be sentenced to one year and a day, though that is not set in stone, according to MTV.com. Last weekend he and fiancée Tameka “Tiny” Cottle hosted a party in Atlanta for their children in preparation for his time away.—CJ
