use your celeb pwer bro and get busy contacting legal rep to handle your complaint. this is they year 2000 we need not take this bull crap any longer!
They probably did not know who TIP was and paying cash for a million dollar plus home usually raises an eyebrow...regardless of skin color.
Keli, it is true cash raises an eyebrow, however once the information is given and the determination shows that the money is legit, by verification of occupation, banking institution, and references which I am sure should have been done, why is the home no longer for sell to the gentleman?
Anyone with common sense would have taken cash over going through the legal issues of closing any day, so I will have to agree with the color barrier being the factor.
Even if it is discrimination, everybody doesn't want a rapper living next door to them. People move to the 'burbs for a "quiet" life. Even though he may be a nice neighbor and keep to himself, there is still the perception of loud, wild, raunchy parties. I don't need that next door to me bringing down the value of my property. I too would have scoffed if I thought T.I. was moving in next door to me.
They probably thought he was an investor. Most of the time sellers will not sell a house to investors.
NO SHIT...TIP.
You're a rapper! Stop your BITCHIN welcome to reality this is what us adverage people go through you should be used to it racism exist in every town, city and country. I'd say you got a hit song on your hands ol man start writing!!!!!!!!!!!!UMPH
He is such a fuckin diva. Always bitching about something. First it was the grammys and now a house! Such the fuck up!
You professional rappers with your comments and insight!
How many rappers do you live next to at present? I thought not; therefore you have no idea what type of neighbor he would be.
I have been to Atlanta and I have family in Atlanta.
I believe his assumption is on target.
Sad, but true.
Thats some true dumb nigga shit! Why would you pay cash on a house when mortgages are tax deductible! You pay cash for cars and shit that don't increase in value over time. Not to mention that is someone came to me to buy my house (yes I own) with all cash, I would assume there was something shady going on (drug dealer, bad credit, terrorist, etc.)
Is he tweeking...if he would have used the black card, he may have gotten the sale!!! Buying a bigger house=foreclosure...you buy what you can afford!!!
WHY STRAIGHT CASH TI?????
Damn T.I. and that is good for his ass he is too damn arrogant anyway that goes to show him people don't give a damn who you are since he loves to throw his name around with his ignorant disrespectful ass. Good for his ass NEXT!!
Ummm... he could be right, but to be honest my aunt is a Realtor and she wouldn't sell a home in a nice neighborhood to someone paying in cash. Its too suspect. Only people who pay in cash are criminals and people with horrible credit. T.I. I feel your pain, but next time you should try to appear a bit more legit. You can't ride on fame forever. Be an adult. Maybe take a listen to Jay's "30 Something". Some things you just don't do as a grown ass man.
WHO IN THE HELL WALKS AROUND WITH 2.5 MILLION DOLLARS.THIS KID NEEDS TO USE SOME OF THAT CASH AN TAKE A FEW ETIQUETTE CLASSES.

EXACTLY.
I can't stand this little man.
Boo - f*cking - hoo.
I love it!!!
He bought a bigger house!
@Trouble.
The only "dumb nigga shit" is what you stated in your post. "Niggas" (like you) need a paradigm shift. Who gives a shit that a mortgage is "tax deductible"?? #1, given his tax bracket I'm sure he has ample tax shelters. #2 I guess you fail to realize the nature of the business T.I. is in, and that those royalty checks may not always be there. How many celebs lose properties because they can no longer maintain mortgages on their properties because money is not coming in like it once did. OWN YOUR SHIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE PEOPLE!! The banks want you to be keep a property mortgaged so they can eventually reclaim it, or you sell it, a new loan is taken out, and the money cycle keeps rolling ...FOR THEM! You pay your shit off, and you have instant equity and them some. How in the hell can you even compare a house to a car purchase? I'm sure T.I. (if he has cash) also has the account managed accounts and documentation to support his cash on hand. It's only a matter of a few phone calls, faxes or emails to verify. "Appear more legit" is also some dumb shit. It's no different that the rich white folk who might do the same thing or request an on-the-spot wire transfer between accounts. But oh, they don't allow their minds to be chained like those who say some of the shit I'm reading here which displays no true business or ownership sense. Not every "nigga" wants to be in debt to someone else for 30 years, or have to refi their damn house every 3 years so they can buy a new plasma TV and go on a cruise.
Wake the hell up Black people.
I just hope none of the negative comments are coming from any black/african-american/negro or anything relating to(erica b.). I mean would you rather a rock and roll star live next to you or heavy metal, or perhaps a nazi? Do you idiots not think that everyone regardless of money or profession desires or deserves to live where they want? Who cares if he had cash, paperwork still has to be done to verify before the house can be sold. You negative comment people are such a disgrace to the race. As far as the Grammy comment, he was asked a question, is he not supposed to answer honestly?
People are so quick to offer their opinions on everyday situations but are not aware of their own problems (van, learn to spell; converse 411, because racism happens everyday, does that make it okay? Are there people that deserve to be treated unfairly because of their race?
HONEST ABE THANK YOU!!! I almost fell out of my chair when someone suggested that mortgaging a house is better than paying cash. For the mortgage company. I think that is a shrewd move and he obviously has some good advisors.
That sounds about right.. In that neighborhood where he wanted to buy there's only whites, indians, and alot of rich ASS doctors and lawyers. My mother is a real estate agent and lives in the subdivison across from where he was about move, and according to her she said that the people over there where already complaining about the lights they were installing in his home was causing the neighbors light to go off and on. So once they found out he was a rapper they declined his ass.
get them boo! take their asses right to equal opportunity board,aclu,real estate licensing and whatever organizations are available. we can live anywhere we damn please this isnot the 1900's any longer!
dats right nigga just buy a bigger one!!! it dont fase you
HONEST ABE...that was the best comment on here and it couldn't have been said more clearly. I hope he sues their asses off!!!
He should of contacted me www.ericadavies.com
@erica davies
Boy! Black folks in Atlanta don't bullshit when it comes to drumming up business! I'm there so I know....
You're funny.
I say he's full of shit.
First of all, no rich fkers with that much cash in hand would go and buy a house himself. He can not read legal papers for shit. Therefore, someone else or an agent would go and pay the house for him.
Sale agents get % of the sale either from the seller or the buyers. They will do anything to get the house.
Secondly, this is not the welfare office where his family used to hang around. This is a private house. The owner could sell/burn/shit to whom ever he/she/bi/fag wants.
He sounds like he does not know shit about how business world works.
Here are a few things will happen to this idiot:
He'll be broke within 10 years.
He's trying to stir the water.
People are laughing at him for being such an a*hole.
2.5 mill. house is not a big house for rich rappers. i paid that much for a house in OC, Ca. and I'm no rapper.
50 Cent spends that much for his five cars.
Does T.I. stand for Too Idiotic?
@BS Detector
Just HAVE to take a shot at you. I bet my $200,000 house in Atlanta is bigger than your $2.5 million house in Cali. I've seen those "shacks" y'all get out there for 1 million plus. Too bad you couldn't "detect" the bullshit on that overpriced dump you purchased for 2.5.
I ask that you and all reading the post be able to see beyond what this barely full paragraph states. Do you really believe T.I walked up to someone's door, knocked on it and when they answered.. opened a suitcase with 2.5 mil. and said "Ey, I wanna buy this house homie"????
If so, you are a fucking MORON!
Also, you have no idea whether or not this brother can read legal papers. In fact I'm willing to BET most on this board can "read" legal papers, it's UNDERSTANDING THE LEGALESE that's the problem.
One final note, as long as he pays 2.5 mil cash for a house he will not be broke in 10 years. You on the other hand, probably most likely will be, with your mortgaged 2.5 mil "shanty shack". The bank will most likely have your shit. LMAO.
Right back @Honest Abe
The whole point of the blog/comment section is about what T.I said.
My comment was that I think T.I is FOS. You could disagree with me by giving your opinions or facts why my comment was faulty.
However, like most people who do not know how to discuss or argue properly using information and facts, you turn around and attack me.
I can look beyond what the paragraph states, too.
Are you saying that I'm not allowed to sell my house to whom the hell I want?
Are you saying that there was only one house that T.I wanted in the whole Atlanta, Georgia. (The fact that he bought another house showed his intention.)
I said T.I. is FOS because he makes all that money from (c)rap yet he screams people are racist. Most of his CD buyers are white. I bet you his lawyer is also white. Yet he screams racist. His managers, the air plane pilots, his CD engineers, etc... are probably white. Yet he screams racist.
T.I is a typical ungrateful bitch that makes me look bad in America and the world.
