T.I. Testifies, Recalls Bloody Details In Philant Johnson Murder Trial

Hip-Hop superstar T.I. has come forward to testify about the events that took place on the night his friend and assistant Philiant Johnson was murdered in May 2006.

According to the Associated Press, the rapper was present at a Cincinnati courtroom today (November 21) where he described the shoot-out his entourage had with prime suspect Hosea Thomas. Tip told jurors he took cover in a van as it was layered with bullets during a wild vehicle chase.

Describing the aftermath, he detailed noticing Johnson after their van took off saying his friend laid lifeless with blood running down his face due to a gunshot wound to his left temple. Three other members were reportedly injured, however Tip did not suffer any injuries.

As previously reported by SOHH, opening statements began earlier this week as jury members were told Cincinnati local Thomas was responsible for the murder.

Hosea's brother, Padron, who was also involved in the shoot-out, stepped forward to testify against him. He now faces no prison time for his role in the murder of Johnson.

Who cares if it's snitching? E thugs I swear, if any of ya'lls friends got shot and you saw em layin there bleedin and dying wouldn't you say somethin to the cops or would you let your own friend die in vain? I'm not tryin to be mean or anything, but it's real fucked up when you call someone a snitch for honorin their friend.

C. Sense AKA L.J. · 11-21-2008, 03:12 PM

he recalled the situation...didnt point anyone out

plus if he didnt take the stand he put himself in a worse situation with his gun charges lingering

You throw up West Side and Wear Rags in your video, saying Loaded Fo Fo on the Low, and shit, you automaticly think that nigga is able to do it in the street way.

oh well, TI is a snitch, go defending him.

L o S o · 11-21-2008, 03:50 PM

hes doin the right thing, but what gets me is he still to this day actin like his trapstar persona is real, fuck off.

Rider · 11-21-2008, 03:56 PM

most of ya'll callin tip a snitch probably have no friends, cause most of you have no idea what it's like when your best friend get's killed...

Cosign, but I wouldn't even waste my time arguing with these lame ass posters labeling people snitches.

These are the same people who attempt to make internet opinions into facts, such as Aaliyah having a glass eye, Ciara being born a man, and all that dumb shit. These are the same people who post the word SNITCH from their parent's house on their parent's computer.

I'm pretty sure TI is just giving testimony on what happened that night at his point of view. Even if he was asked by the prosecutor to point to who did the shooting, who the fuck cares? And the dude ain't trying to do life for nothing. he had to do what he had to do (if he really telling the truth). Fuck that. These guys need to read the news and keep moving.

They're talkin' about the guys brother who killed T.I.'s friend testifying against him. Not T.I. And that is snitchin' cause now he ain't gettin' no time even though he was involved!

keepitgangsta · 11-21-2008, 04:20 PM

If you not from the hood, shut the fuck up and get out of this topic

Cause you dont know what you're talking about at all, and dont and will never understand

And I know a lot of yall not

The Squeeze · 11-21-2008, 05:47 PM

People have to realize what's happening with T.I. right now, he's not in the streets no more, he's transition from that part of his life. He's out of that game now, he's moved on, He being a grown man now, He got kids, a lady, his momma. He not thinkin bout that street shit no more. This shit is Entertainment, your favorite rapper ain't who he said he is really, everybody is fabricated to a certain level. It's not snitchin to him anymore, his best friend was murdered, its honor, loyalty, and being an adult about situations. Most of you muthafuckas don't know what snitchin is anyway...Dead It
