“I know that I have never taken from anybody’s creative,” he told Access Hollywood ‘s Shaun Robinson while promoting his new film “Get Hard” in Los Angeles on Saturday. “I have never walked into the studio and used anybody else’s idea to contribute to mine. And I think that the universe and gods who look down on us all and have something to do with an outcome — that will exonerate me. I ain’t trippin’.”


I know Pharrell. I know how he works. I have seen him a thousand times go into his studio and never have I ever seen him sample anything ever. Never have I ever seen him do something where he intentionally maliciously said, ‘I’m going to take that and flip it.’ I’ve never seen him do it,” T.I. said. “Now I have seen other producers do it, I have. They ain’t in court though. I’ve never seen him do it.”

Walmart Settles for $10 million in Death of Comedian 




James McNair was killed last June when friend and fellow comedian Tracy Morgan‘s tour bus collided with a Walmart truck on the New Jersey turnpike.

As E! News reported back in January, the 62-year-old funnyman’s family reached a settlement with Walmart. At the time, however, the exact amount which would be awarded to McNair’s children Jamel, 26, and Danita, 19, was confidential. Legal documents filed last month in Westchester’s Surrogate Court have revealed, per ABC News and DNA Info, there was a $10 million payout to McNair’s estate.

On Friday, a spokesperson for Walmart told E! News in a statement: “We cannot discuss the terms and conditions of the settlement, but we are glad to have reached an agreement. We deeply regret the loss of Mr. McNair as a result of the accident.  Walmart worked closely with his family to ensure their wellbeing. Walmart will continue to work to conclude all of the remaining issues and we’re committed to doing what’s right.”
