What the heck is going on these days! We hear that Flo Rida, real name Tramar Dillard, was promoting his album in Lexington, Kentucky when an eye witness called Animal Control authorities and claimed they saw two men step of Flo Rida’s tour bus and kill a rabbit. Local Police were on a hunt to find Flo Rida to take him in for questioning. Flo spoke x-clusively to allhiphop and denied the whole ordeal. It did sound a bit bogus, don’t you think? “While no one in my party was in any way involved in any incident, the media report that I saw was sickening,” Flo Rida told AllHipHop.com exclusively. “As an animal lover, I would never want to see cruelty inflicted upon them.” Flo’s album R.O.O.T.S comes out March 31st.

Sometimes I think artist deliberately have these bogus stories leaked to stir up controversary in the media to boost up their album sales. Don’t you realize there is always some type of “publicity” stunt before an artist album drops. For example, the Keri Hilson leak to “Turnin’ me on” remix where she was supposedly dissing Beyonce. That whole “beef” went down right before her album dropped which made her relevent.
Hmmmm…

I heard today on the radio that T.I. will be turning himself in today to serve his year long prison sentence for federal weapons and possession charges. A lot of fans called into the radio station very emotional about the whole thing. You will get to witness T.I. turning himself in during the last episode of MTV’s “Road to Redemption”. T.I. will spend about a year in prison just as his career is at its peak. His latest album, “Paper Trail,” has sold almost two million copies, charted two smash No. 1 songs, and a third with Justin Timberlake is near the top of the charts.

We’ll miss T.I., but I’m sure he will be out sooner than we think. At least I hope!

In related news, T.I. took some time out to kick it with Sister 2 Sister Publisher Jamie Foster Brown in his kitchen. Who woulda thought T.I. knew how to throw down in the kitchen. Jamie says “By the time I got to get to the kitchen, Tip was already in there going to work. He was shaking up something in a bag. It was fish! After watching this fine piece of leather mix the fish batter for his tilapia and stir his special marinade for the shrimp, I told him that he should think about creating his own cooking show.” Check out T.I. going to work!
