T. I. BLAMES SKIN COLOUR FOR HOUSE SALE REFUSAL

Hip-hop star T. I. lost out on a dream home because of the colour of his skin, according to the rapper himself.

T.I. at BET Awards 2007 nominations announcement held at Renaissance Hollywood Hotel. Hollywood, California - 16.05.07

The 26-year-old arrived with cash to buy the luxury property in his native Atlanta, Georgia, but his offer was turned down.

He tells American magazine Blender, "They wanted $2.5 million for that house over there. I was ready to pay cash.

"But once they saw who I was, the house wasn't for sale anymore. If you ask me it's because I'm a young black man."

T. I. adds, "I just bought a bigger house."

What absolute nonsense. When are the black citizens in America going to stop screaming racism every time they don't get their way? This guy has been arrested for drugs and illegal gun possession and makes millions singing about "niggas". I'm sure that this has no bearing on why he was turned down for this house. Would you want this element living in your neighborhood? He is his own worst enemy. Frederick Douglass must be turning over in his grave. June 19, 2007 at 12:33 pm by swmoss
