2007 BET Best Hip Hop Artist - T.I.
After Vivica Fox in that gold lame number handed rapper T.I. his award for Best Hip Hop Artist, T.I. started off with the obligatory thanks you.
But then, in a rare moment of manhood, The ATL king acknowledged acting unroyal earlier this week. That's right family, T.I. apologized for his ghetto antics when he attacked rival Ludacris' manager Chaka Zulu during a luncheon in California on Sunday.
T.I. -- real name Clifford Harris -- was attending the event hosted by Warner Music Group in Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood when he allegedly punched Zulu in the face. The altercation follows a three-year feud with rival Ludacris.
The pair fell out in 2004 after T.I. took offense to a scene in one of Ludacris' music videos, in which a man wearing a top similar to that of the rapper's Trap Muzik record label is seen getting beaten up.
T.I. recently reignited the feud by claiming he deserved to win the 2007 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album over Ludacris.
Looks like he got some vindication tonight, as he bested Luda, Diddy, Lil Wayne and Jay-Z to walk away with top bragging rights.
Ludacris made up for it, however, by taking the night's award for Best Collaboration with Mary J. Blige for the song "Runaway Love.""People talk about hip-hop not having content. This song proves there is content in hip hop."
Ludacris went on to talk about how music changes lives and how his foundation is making a difference in people's lives. Asked to comment on T.I., his response was,"F*** that Mutha*****."
Okay, he really didn't say that. But wouldn't it have been wild if he had!
