Rapper T.I. told Billboard magazine that one of the biggest stars in Hollywood sought President Obama’s help to spring him from jail. Will Smith, a major Obama supporter who talked up the president’s re-election while hosting a fundraiser in Obama’s honor, allegedly sought out Attorney General Eric Holder’s help on behalf of the trouble rapper.
Will actually went as far as getting in touch with [attorney general] Eric Holder and the Obama administration trying to see if we could get some kind of release. He was very politely told that was not possible. [laughs]”
T.I.’s list of legal woes include getting arrested on drug-related charges as well as on federal gun charges.
