T.I. May Lose Major Endorsement Because Of Drug Arrest

Posted at 09/09/2010 by 0 Comment

Last week, TI and his wife Tiny were arrested for possession of a controlled substance. The arrest is a violation of his probation and the rapper was asked to return to Atlanta by his probation officer so that they could determine whether to send him back to jail or not. Now comes word that the arrest may not only cost him his freedom, but also a key endorsement.

According to TMZ:

T.I.’s ecstasy arrest has caused a serious stink with some of his sponsors — in fact, TMZ has learned the people behind AXE body spray are considering kicking the rapper to the curb.

A rep for AXE tells TMZ they’re “troubled by [T.I.'s] arrest” and have been forced into “reviewing our promotional activities” with the rapper. Translation — it doesn’t look good for T.I.

T.I. — real name Clifford Harris — locked down a deal with AXE earlier this year after promising the company that he was “working to become a more positive role model.”

So far, T.I. is still featured on the company’s website… but it smells like that could change at any moment.
