T.I.: 'I'll Plot My Comeback From Prison Cell'

US rapper T.I. is determined to use his time in prison wisely - he is planning to plot his comeback from his jail cell.

The singer, real name Clifford Harris Jr., is facing a one year prison sentence in March after pleading guilty to illegal possession of three machine guns and two silencers following his 2007 arrest.

And T.I. is adamant that he won't be wasting any time in prison.

He told MTV: "Presumably, while I'm there, I'll be able to strategise my comeback. All those days will be spent speaking to people who are interested in being in the T.I. business.

“Preparing myself for the days those doors open, when I put my feet back on the ground of the free world. It's just months of planning. It's just a long time to roll the project out.

“I ain't gonna just be sitting still doing nothing. The wheels will be turning, just the car ain't going nowhere."

And the star is even planning to make a movie before he heads to jail.

He added: "The film I'm producing over at New Line, For Sale, we're trying to put that together, and hopefully we'll be able to do that before March.

“We're getting offers every day, checking on our availability, on whether or not we'll be able to take advantage of certain opportunities, film-wise."

As previously reported on Gigwise, T.I. joined Kanye West, Diddy and Busta Rhymes in California last night.
