• Tipped off: The ATF executed a search warrant on recently featured Dirty South rapper T.I. He was arrested for trying to buy three machine guns and two silencers just hours before he was supposed to perform at the BET awards. Plus Clifford had more guns in the car. But jail didn’t stop the young rapper from netting two awards anyway.

• Reviewing Gotti: Here’s a review of Irv Gotti’s new reality TV series, Gotti’s Way. It follows the rap producer around as he deals with family and business problems from all angles, including an exchange with Ja Rule about making a monster hit.

• Naming rights: Crank this. Soulja Boy is being sued for allegedly stealing his name from a member of the 1990’s rap group Mo Thugs, he spelled it Souljah Boy with an “h.”

• Bad boy: Diddy allegedly smacked the crap out of someone in Soho which leads us to wonder why the hell dude even pays bodyguards in the first place. The rap mogul seems to have a recent spate of violent outbursts.
