”A month before beginning a yearlong federal prison sentence, rapper T.I. was in court again, but this time he wasn’t in the hot seat.
The performer, whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., spoke Friday to dozens of high school students, half serving juvenile sentences, at the Georgia Supreme Court.
“You can see from me that nobody is too rich, too famous, too cool … to make a mistake and pay a price for it,” he said. “More important … is what you are able to take away from that mistake. How can you use that mistake to ensure you will never make a similar mistake again?”
Harris, 28, urged them to stay in school. “The things you do not have in your life, the things you do not have in your possession, will be a reflection of the things you have not learned,” said Harris, whose 2008 firearms conviction that will send him to prison for a year starting next month. ”
