T.I. LOSES DEODORANT DEAL
Rapper T.I.’s legal woes have cost him a lucrative deal with deodorant company AXE.
The Live Your Life hitmaker was handed an 11-month prison sentence last week (ends15Oct10) after a Georgia judge ruled he had violated the terms of his probation following a drug possession arrest in California.
T.I., real name Clifford Harris, Jr., must surrender to authorities by 1 November (10) - less than a year since he was released from prison after serving time for illegal weapons possession charges.
And his latest spell behind bars has cost him his spokesmodel gig for AXE.
A rep for the company tells TMZ.com, "We will no longer feature T.I. in our promotional campaign." T.I., who signed with AXE earlier this year (10) , has already been removed from the company’s website.
