Ne-Yo & T.I.

Ne-Yo may be one of T.I.’s largest supporters, but the R&B singer/songwriter thinks that the rapper needs to get his act together.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Ne-Yo says that T.I.’s problems stem from the people around him.

I just feel that he makes a lot of poor decisions when it comes to the people that he surrounds himself with.

…Nine times out of 10 when he gets in trouble, it’s not him, it’s the people that he’s with.

T.I. and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, were arrested yesterday on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine in West Hollywood.

Ne-Yo had a few words for T.I. as well in the interview:

You’ve been given a bunch of different chances. Now is the time to really go, “you know I get it, all right, I get it.”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LAILA08/ LAILA08

    I Totally Agree with Ne-yo on this. T.I has been given chance after chance and still makes bad choices. His wife Tiny is no help at all and I really think he made a bad choice in marrying her, no offense, she is not helping him get right or go in the right direction, A wife is supposed to be a help-meet, not a hurt-meet, Real talk!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/diabla3624/ diabla3624

    I agree LAILA08, Tiny is just as slow as TIP usually a good woman can balance a man out. But in this situation its two clowns and no logic in any of this….ijs

    It must be rough to turn the tv on every other day and see your parents in handcuffs. I swear we black folks we poison our seed even before they have a chance to grow

    And this chick has a tattoo of Jesus praying on here arm. What a flip-pin hypocrite.

    Like I said the problem with black folks is not that we are black, it is simply that no matter how many chances you give us, we will always disappoint you.

    Every other race (spanish, indians, chinese, immigtrants) will make lemonade out of lemons, but we will find some way to turn those lemons in crack – and give it to our seed

    Is he saying Tiny is a bad inspiration to T.I.? lmao Don’t blame the ppl he surrounds himself with! T.I. is a grown f**kin man even though he looks 15. He is responsible with all the decisions he makes. The hell with him. Send his ass back to jail so he can get booty fcked. Why else does he wana return there? Cuz the nigga is gay.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blkcaramelforyou/ blkcaramelforyou

    Hmmm Has it ever been thought that T.I is one of the people he surrounds himself with? Whether it was his drugs or not, he knows he needed to keep it at a distance. Got caught slipping!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BlackscholarMI/ BlackscholarMI

    We can all agree the Mr. “T.I.” made a very bad decision to have been around anyone or himself to have been in possession of an illegal substance. His lack of judgement will only increase his probability of being incarcerated for something that could have beasily been avoided. Regardless of who Mr. “T.I.” surrounds himself with, the sole determining factor is that he must start conducting himself as a man. Before this to occur, he must be willing to admit that he needs a barrage of constant positive mentoring from Black men and not those allifiated within “The Industry.”

    That said, for the Neanderthal who stated that they “hope Mr. “T.I” eventually go to jail in order to get violated” should publicly apologize to him and his wife for making such repulsive and brutish comments. Further, I would highly recommend to other persons who are so inclined to think similarly, that you should seriously recalibrate your thinking capacity(lack thereof), respectfully. In fact, how can you so easily wish ill-will towards this brother and yet you will not publicly denounce the very harmful domestic policies being orchestrated by the US government even though its harming millions of Black people.

    BlackscholarMI – I am just speaking how I feel. I am not trapped in a self-hate box like you……………… ;)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BlackscholarMI/ BlackscholarMI

    To those unlearned persons who feel so inclined to even remotely imply or assume that Blackscholar has “self-hate”. I would emphatically say that you’re not intellectually qualified to make such claims. I would also recommend that such persons provide Mr. “T.I.” recommnedations how he can make better decisions in the future as compared to wishing him to becoming a victim of a sex crime in a correctional facility(i.e., local, state, or federal). That said, I would also suggest that such persons venture to the Human Rights Watch website and read about the victimization that takes place in prison and maybe, you’ll recalibrate your distorted feelings how “you feel.”

    Yada Yada Yada O.K there Uncle Tom……..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BlackscholarMI/ BlackscholarMI

    Its down right laughable that so-called Black people still use the archaic term called “Uncle Tom” when they are not even familiar with its true historical meaning. For the unlearned, I would suggest that you read the following: 1)The Destruction of African Civilizations; 2) The Isis Papers; and 3) Stolen Legacy. After you read such material, then, you’ll clearly understand my point and then you’ll no longer use foul language that only fitting for a street urchin.

    You have to embrace who you are sweety. Stop trying to be something that you are not.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BlackscholarMI/ BlackscholarMI

    Final point to those who claim that I’m “nothing but a show off.” You’ll will never be Ms. Beyonce Knowles no matter how much you may adore or yearn to be her. Therefore, I would suggest that you establish your “Own” self-identity and discontinue living your life vicariously through someone else. Its called, being proud of who you are no matter how you look, how much education, or material trinkets you have. Remember, one’s exterior looks will only take you so far and the rest is based upon your ability to perform a given task no matter what it is when called to do so.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Leticia39/ Leticia39

    I am proud of who I am that is why I am A BEYONCE STAN. Only ugly low-self-esteem girls hate on Bey.

    WELL I FEEL THAT T.I NEEDS TO HANG OUT WITH MORE MATURE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY FOR A WHILE LIKE LUDACRIS, JERMAINE DUPRI, USHER, SOME OF HIS ATLANTA COLLEAGUES THAT CAN HANG WITH HIM OH EVEN NELLY…T.I PLAY SMART AND HANG OUT WITH THE BEST THAT ARE NOT IN COLTS…AS A MATTER OF FACT…WHY CAN’T YOU HANG OUT WITH OUTKAST MEMBERS OR GOODIE MOB MEMBERS OR SOMETHING????THOSE COULD BE YOUR REAL FRIENDS INSTEAD OF ANYBODY FROM OUT OF ATL AREA BECUZ YOU JUST NEVER KNOW…OH P.DIDDY MAYBE COOL TO HANG WITH TOO BECUZ HE HAS BEEN THRU IT ALL AND NOW HE MAKES SURE HE STAYS AWAY FROM CRIME AND THE LAW

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/NtelligentlyInclined/ NtelligentlyInclined

    smh@ these comments. so we should stand behind him just because he’s black? while i believe in that to an extent, we also need to call it wrong when it is wrong. neyo wasn’t just speaking to the media, he’s speaking to people who are making the mistakes ti is making. why is that wrong? ti is a public figure, and ti has spent the past year talking about dont do drugs and stay out of jail; he’s proved himself a liar and hypocrite. there are a lot of people (young people in particular) that idolize entertainers, and entertainers talk about this underworld in their music and young people see them living these lavish lifestyles and think that it’s ok. it isn’t, and maybe, JUST MAYBE, other entertainers need to speak out against it. To be honest, I don’t call “sticking together” condoning stupidity. We can stick together and still say, “Hey bro/sis you’re wrong.” THATS what I call sticking together. Ne-yo’s message wasn’t that TI is a piece of sh*t and we should turn on him, his message was, “Hey kids, surround yourself with people who are going to encourage you and keep you on the right path.”

    What does his sexuality have to do with anything is my question?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/A_ishoney1/ A_ishoney1

    Neyo is saying something positive ti apparently needs to take seriously for once. There is nothing wrong with that. Anybody that thinks blacks can’t be a positive inspiration to each other in the entertainment industry has a twisted perception of the role blacks should play in media

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SEXKITTEN48/ SEXKITTEN48

    I TOTALLY AGREE WITH NE-YO HES RIGHT T.I NEED TO GET IT 2GETHER BECUZ HES DRAGGIN TINY RIGHT DOWN WITH HIM. HELL THEY WANNA LOCK HIS DUMB ASS UP 4 ANYTHING ANYWAY AND HE MAKIN MONEY TO GIVE IT BACK TO DA WHITE MAN. TI MAN U BEEN HOODWINKED, BAMBOOZLED WE DIDN’T LAND ON PLYMOUTH ROCK PLYMOUTH ROCK LANDED ON US! NIGGA GET IT RIGHT PUT FAMILY 1ST DO UR S**T AT HOME KEEP IT DISCRET. ITS NOT WHAT U DO ITS HOW U DO IT.

    neyo takes it up the butt.lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mike_diesel27/ mike_diesel27

    Don’t be mad at some of these ignorant comments people. They only want more page views. I refuse to view the pages of any of “ignoramuses” lol. But anyway, why should it matter the lifestyle that Ne-Yo lives on whether his comments are relevant or not? I agree with him, T.I. makes horrible decisions! Black, white, homo, or hetero can see this.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/americansheldon/ americansheldon

    i dont understand y ppl r going off on Ne-Yo. is he saying something wrong?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Concatenate/ Concatenate

    Hello family everyone has a valent point and I respect that. , TI made a bad decision and need help from his friends and supporters . He should have known better but sometimes we have to learn by experience , no matter what positive people we have around us say we do it our way. What we are not mention that is important is not TI and Tiny have children, for he put his family in harms way sometimes your women is going to follow you out of love and because you are the leader of that house hold, he could have smoked before you left the house you already know now that they are looking at you to fall off point for any thing. Ne-yo is just saying that TI just need to think before he act when TI is in the position that he is in now, as for Neyo didn’t go in hard at TI but people look up to TI and TI made the public address regarding drugs, HE has my support somethings are not easy, why should it matter the lifestyle that Ne-Yo lives

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jordan_Mom/ Jordan_Mom

    Everybody that is taking shots at Ne-Yo are some ignorant NIGGARS! Ne-Yo is speaking with wisdom. TI needs to choose his friends carefully and needs to separate himself from his freeloading entourage who want to see him fail.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/FodayB/ FodayB

    I agree with Ne-yo 100 percent; I could care less about the guy’s sexuality.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/antwoine/ antwoine

    I totally agree with Ne-Yo. Although i am an avid supporter of T.I., i feel that he’s made some the dumbest decision that one could make. How many times must you get in trouble before you realize that there’s more to life than being a thug. When you make enough money to escape the ghetto/thug, why keeps reliving it. It seems like the more money you make, the better your lifestyle should be. I feel no sympathy for him. He should have realized that after his last stint in prison. Some blacks do the dumbest things then want to cry foul when they get busted. Grow up and get a life.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/antwoine/ antwoine

    Also, it troubles me to hear people say, “Tiny should take the charge for T.I..” If you love someone, you wouldn’t ask them to take a charge. Be a man and step up to take that charge. That’s the mother of his kids that you’re thinking about having him throw under the bus.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ChiefTn/ ChiefTn

    Let me get this straight. The night “Too Ignorant” was arrested, he was with his new bride “Tiny”. Is she one of the wrong people “Too Ignorant” has surrounded himself with? This concept is based on Ne-Yo’s wisdom. It just sounds like he is not bold enough to say it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jordan_Mom/ Jordan_Mom

    ChiefTn, both Ti and Tiny were in the car with their BFFs C-Rod (formerly of P$C) and C-Rod’s long-time girlfriend Vanity during the routine traffic stop. Ne-Yo possibly coule be referring to Ti’s so-called friends from Pimp $quad Click because when he and Tiny were arrested the first time Young Dro was present. Now I don’t know who is the trouble-makers, it could very well be TI or it coule be Tiny, only God knows. I do think Tiny needs to put her foot down and tell TI to not purchase guns and drugs if this is what’s really going on.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sosogood33/ sosogood33

    Ne-yo.. talking like he got sumthing up his ass. The people surrounding him cant stop his gay ass from pretending to be straight. These celebs surround them selfs with yes men so dont blame the people around them if they make dumb decsions. Even more stupid is the fact that anyone of these yes men could do alot of the dirty work. Lil wayne, boosie, snoop all the people that hang with them and nobody can hold the pistol or go get the drugs.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Whos_GiNa/ Whos_GiNa

    Wow…when the gun charge thing happened i was like what a idiot! Now I’m saying dam TI..i was right you ARE a Freakin dumb azz idiot! I’m so sad by this..and Tiny all caught up too? I mean dam. If you want to do drugs that’s your business but they very well have the means to do it right at home. They’re not drug king pins..well not TINY anyways..and they have no business riding around with felony amounts of meth and weed and whatever else was found. TINY..you obviously were with him in your car. I’m going to give the benefit of the doubt and say you didnt know the drugs were in there but baby girl..if you did..you should’ve been woman enough to tell your man either you take that sh8t out of my car or you and the drugs go by yourself and I stay home because one of us has to be around to take care of these dam kids. That’s what she should’ve did. And all this ride or die chick crap is so stupid! F that! I’ll be damned if i sit a day in jail for some idiot who doesnt take his freedom seriously enough to try and do the right thing by himself, his family, and his fans. You see how i put self first because you cant do anything for anyone else til you help yourself first! DAM TI AND TINY..SO DISAPPOINTED…SMH… :-(

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Whos_GiNa/ Whos_GiNa

    AND FOR ALL YALL TALKIN SH8T ABOUT NE-YO…he’s RIGHT!!! And I applaud Ne-Yo because i feel like dont say anything in the dark that you cant say in the light and Ne-Yo was man enough to say it. TI obviously does make a lot of bad decisions. Out of the last 20 years of his life he’s either been on parole, house arrest, in jail, or probation. Don’t hate on Ne-Yo because he told the dam truth. Maybe if more people would do that..tell TI and Tiny like it is instead of saying yes to everything they wouldnt be in this stupid situation now! Wake the Fukk up people…Jeez!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/van1234/ van1234

    Ne Yo need to stop! All of sudden he is guidance counselor now! Go married the mother of your child then you talk about T.I. Decisions you ugly motherf**ker!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Raina_J/ Raina_J

    Ne Yo is right. You become famous to get away from that life, and you go back right to it? that doesn’t make much sense.
