TI tan pants striped shirt rapper singer exclusive

Spotted: Rapper T.I. leaving Mastro's in Beverly Hills last night with his head held high. Now, the guy's already been given credit for 305 days of house arrest, but will that affect his one-year-and-a-day prison sentence at Forrest City come May 26th?

Nope! MTV News has cleared up some of the confusion...

T.I. - aka Clifford Harris Jr. - plead guilty to possessing firearms and of being a convicted felon in possession of firearms back in March, and with the help of a plea deal (he donated 1,000 hours of community service) the rapper received a reduced sentence.

But his home confinement has nothing to do with the time he will spend in jail, which remains the same. After T.I. completes his sentence at Forrest City prison, he will then have to serve out his remaining home detention - approximately two months of it.

Phew! The moral of this story, basically, is don't break the law!
