The death of seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin and the highly-publicized
trial that followed remains a much-discussed topic of conversation with
many still voicing their opinion on the matter. Among those to offer
their thoughts on the George Zimmerman trial was Atlanta rapper T.I. who
didn’t hold back when it concerned comments he made this week.
During an interview with Power 98 FM, T.I. revealed that he would have
taken justice into his own hands if he was the father of Trayvon Martin
and would have instead found himself on trial.
“Man, it was some bullshit…My hat goes off to
the Martin family, because if it was me and my child, it wouldn’t have
been no trial,” said T.I., according to Radio.com. “I’d have been on
trial. It would’ve been the trial of the father who killed the man who
killed [his child]. That would have been my story.
My hat goes
off because they [the Martin family] are much more clear and
level-headed thinkers than I. I definitely think something needs to be
done, but it’s just another harsh reminder of the world that we live
in.”
T.I.’s comments about the Zimmerman trial comes shortly
after fellow rapper Rick Ross released “I Wonder Why,” a record in which
the Maybach Music Group founder compares himself to Martin and even
uses audio from the trial in the song’s outro.
