ATLANTA â€" Grammy-winning rapper T.I., who was freed after months
in prison, has been locked up again at a federal penitentiary.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons website Friday shows the rapper at the
Atlanta penitentiary with a release date of Sept. 29.
His lawyer cites a flap over using a luxury bus to report to a halfway
house as the cause. Steve Sadow told The Associated Press that the
Federal Bureau of Prisons "has moved T.I. to a different facility"
because of an issue involving the rapper's 375-mile trip Wednesday from
the Arkansas lockup to Atlanta in a gleaming motor coach.

He did not elaborate on the exact nature of the problem federal
authorities had, but said it was not drug-related. He said they are
trying to resolve the problem.
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, traveled with an entourage to
check into the halfway house, stepping off the bus clad in a red and
blue striped polo shirt and white shorts.
"There appears to be confusion surrounding the method of
transportation," Sadow said.

Federal authorities had no further information late Thursday night where
Harris was taken.
Traci Billingsley, a spokeswoman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, told
the AP that she couldn't comment on the rapper's status or his immediate
whereabouts.
Story: Rapper T.I. returns to prison for second time
T.I. had initially served about seven months at the prison in 2009 after
he was arrested for trying to buy unregistered guns and silencers from
undercover federal agents. He was on probation after he was released and
ordered not to commit another crime or to illegally possess any
controlled substances.
He was arrested again in September 2010 in Los Angeles on drug charges
after authorities said he was found with four ecstasy pills. He was
sentenced in October to 11 months in prison for that violation, and had
been set for release at the end of September but was let go early.
The prison agency's website said late Thursday night that Harris was "in
transit" but didn't say where.

T.I. had left the Forrest City low-security prison and was driven in the
bus with dark-colored windows, followed by four other cars.
"The storm is over & da sun back out. IT'S OUR TIME TO SHINE
SHAWTY!!!!!" the rapper posted on Twitter shortly after his release.
"Welcome to the beginning of our Happy Ending!!!!"
It appears a flock of cameras will follow T.I. regardless of where he
goes next. VH1 said Wednesday that the network was filming T.I.'s
journey home from jail and would debut the show in December. MTV aired a
similar reality show on the rapper in 2009 called "T.I.'s Road to
Redemption: 45 Days to Go," which chronicled his attempts to help others
avoid his mistakes.
T.I. has also finalized a book deal. A representative from HarperCollins
told AP that T.I. has written a book called "Power & Beauty" that's set
to be released in October. The novel, which was co-written with David
Ritz, is a fictional tale about two childhood friends torn apart by
dangerous dealings on the streets of Atlanta.
