A T.I. show at Irving Plaza in New York this week ended
in tragedy, as a 33-year-old man was killed by gunshot. Despite the rapper not having anything to do with the
shooting, his pockets are taking a hit.
Organizers of a concert for high school graduates are demanding a
$55,000 refund from T.I., who was getting ready to perform at
a concert for the students in Florida on June 11. Tip had
already signed a contract to perform in Florida and received $55,000 to
retian his services before the Irving Plaza events took place.
According
to TMZ, the South Florida concert promoters wrote a legal notice
saying that, because of the shooting, “the quality of the Talents services is
not satisfactory to our Client.” After the events this week, the promoters no
longer feel the event is a “safe environment for the students,” as it was
originally marketed.
So far, rapper Troy
Ave has been arrested and charged with attempted murder and two counts of
illegal weapon possession for firing a gun inside Irving Plaza, which was caught
on tape. Rapper Maino was initially rumored to be involved in the
incident, but he has since shot those rumors down. NYPD is still investigating
the events that took place at Irving Plaza, but one thing is certain: T.I.
and his people had nothing to do with the shootings that took place. They
simply happened to occur at his concert.
In fact, video
has emerged of T.I. helping one of
the shooting victims. On Thursday night (May 26), in a smart move, Live Nation announced
it had refunded all tickets to the show as a result of the
shooting.
