T.I. HOPES JUDGE HAS THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT: Rapper files motion to lift house arrest rules so he can host Thanksgiving dinner.

*Under current rules of T.I.'s house arrest on federal weapons charges, the rapper can have no more than three visitors at a time at his home in Jonesboro, Georgia – which throws a monkey wrench in his plan to host the family dinner for Thanksgiving.


According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, lawyers for the rapper filed a motion in federal court Tuesday (Nov. 6) asking that the three-visitor-limit – as part of his $3 million bond – be waived for the holiday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. and only for a group of visitors whose names he submitted for approval.


Should the judge grant T.I.'s request, the artist must pay for additional guards for the dinner, according to the motion. And due to his bond conditions, he is forbidden from drinking any alcohol.

T.I., born Clifford Harris Jr. was arrested on Oct. 13 and charged with possession of three unregistered machine guns and two silencers, and possession of firearms by a convicted felon. He faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each count if convicted.
