AXE Body Spray Drops T.I.

Posted by Juan

Let the T.I. Bandwagon exodus commence.


@TI @axe

Its not a surprise.  Its actually a recipie if you think about it.  You start with a celebrity.  Season him/her up with some jewels, a few cars, platinum plaques.  Add a pinch of grammy, a few cups of endorsements, a sprinkle of success and viola you have a Hip Hop celebrity complete with a bad influencing entourage and budding drug habit.

Now you add a scandal to said recipe without fail you get all the aforementioned sponsors to jump ship to the next over-hyped celebrity hip hop star or athlete.  The difference perhaps is we actually recycled T.I. and let him rock twice.  Now he’s obviously gotten himself in plenty of trouble and the inevitable bandwagon exodus has commenced.

In a statement published today the company spokes man simply said:

“We will no longer feature T.I. in our promotional campaign”

Next up perhaps is his movie deal with Sony Screen Gems.

    What a fucking idiot. Now you just showed all of America that you are indeed a dumbass. I don’t feel sorry for him one bit. I feel sorry for his kids. I bet he promised them he’d always be there for them and now look at him! I hope he really learns from this incident because if he doesn’t, his career is pretty much over. You have to keep yourself out in the market (shout out to Weezy) to make money, unless you’re Eminem LOL!

    I mean he’s a rapper. He wants 2 be more but he dont have 2 be. he can do 2 or 3 more years and still come out and rap. Look at Shine he some shit but he still rappin. I mean u got dudes like KRS-ONE and Ice Cube still rappin. T.I aint 40 whats 11 months. I did bids longer den dat twice and still came home and maken money. No I’m not rich but I’m sure he will be able 2 put out a mixtape or 2 to get all yall back on da bandwagon. Look at Vick by next year (after he makes da playoffs) watch how many endorsment he have. As we say in DC………Kill Mo!

    Honestly, this dude messed up. He knew better. Oh well. Life moves on. I haven’t lost one night’s sleep over this.

    Care? I think not.

    As for D aka internet tough guy: I agree with BEB, if you dislike the website, please stay off of it. Or instead why not keep coming to the website and post as many foolish posts as you want. Click around on this site. Stay a while.

    In the end, no one care about your opinion of the website because everyone else likes it and so do you…that’s why you are here.

    the “boule” gets upset when their members are on drugs, they are breakin the oath. dmx is goin thru the same thing. think about it, if he only does 1 year for automatic weapons and silencers how in the hell u get the same time for a few pills and weed with no intent on selling?

    I will say this though: It is pretty fucked up that Lindsay Lohan avoids jailtime and only gets ordered back to rehab for coke but T.I. gets ordered to go back to jail. I just read on yahoo right now that the white girl gets lucky…AGAIN! Maybe TIP should have hired her lawyers?

    This is an interesting hip hop music news story because despite Rap star T.I being dropped by Axe Body Spray I am sure that once he comes out of prison and gets his career back on track the big companies will once again be signing up for T.I once again as hes definitely one of the genuine rap superstars out there. T.I`s rap songs have been incredible. And T.I`s music videos have been amazing too and definitely some of the best hip hop music videos in the game. Lets hope that T.I comes out a changed man though and that he realises that hes a role model not just to his kids but to his young fans too.
