T.I. Saves Suicidal Man’s Life & Speaks On It [VIDEO]

Rapper T.I. came to the rescue yesterday afternoon (Wed. Oct 13) when he convinced a suicidal man not to jump off the ledge of a 22 story building in Atlanta.

According to TMZ, Tip heard about the jumper being on top of the building where Ryan Cameron’s radio show on V-103 is held in downtown Atlanta…and decided to go on down and see if he could help. After meeting with cops at the building, T.I. recorded a heartfelt video message that was played to the jumper who eventually came down and talk things out with the multi-platinum selling rapper in the lobby.

“Nothing is that bad. Nothing in life is worth taking your life. I’m here to help you. Please come down to talk to me,” Tip told the man in the video message.

This completely “random” incident comes just in time for T.I., who is due in court this Friday (Oct 15) to answer to charges that he violated his probation.

“I didn’t wake up this morning with the intentions of going down and helping hostage negotiators talk someone down off of a ledge. I don’t think that could be in anyone’s plan of action. If not me, then who? If not now, then when? Sometimes life happens certain ways.”

Atlanta officer James Polite vouched for Tip. “He didn’t have to stop. He could’ve kept on going about his business,” he told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “We’re happy it ended the way it did, and we thank him.”

The rapper also delivered a message to his supporters who have been disappointed by his repeat run-ins with the law.

“All of those who have been let down by these circumstances, I want to give you my sincerest apologies and let you know that I will make it up to you and make you proud in the future.”
