T.I. Welcomes Fifth Child
Troubled rapper T.I. and his girlfriend welcomed their second child early on Friday morning, calling their new baby boy "a miracle."Tameka "Tiny" Cottle gave birth to Major Harris, T.I.'s fifth child, who weighed 5lbs., 15 oz. In a statement to Usmagazine.com, the 27 year old rapper said, "God has blessed us with another miracle."T.I., born Clifford Harris, was  arrested in October last year after one  of his bodyguard's bought  three machine guns and two silencers on his behalf. Harris was arrested when his bodyguard was caught by an  operation from the U.S. Bureau of  Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Additionally, the rapper admitted to owning a further  eight guns, which he had purchased illegally. If Harris sticks to his plea bargain of 1,000 hours of community  service, he will  receive one year in prison, pay a $100,000 fine,  and serve three years under a supervised release program, which will include one year of home  detention.The rapper said at the time, "While  I'm not looking forward to being incarcerated, I have a long road of redemption  to travel. I am dedicated  and committed to that." Photo courtesy of Statia Photography.
