T.I. is reportedly a free agent and looking for $75 million

GSonII

Got $75 million handy? If so, you can sign T.I. to your label ... the hip hop star just became the number-one free agent in rap -- and despite the steep price tag he's putting out ... some deep pockets are already lining up.

Sources close to T.I. tell TMZ ... T.I.'s 10-year contract with Atlantic ran up only a month ago ... but he's already put together his own idea of a $75 million deal:

- 3 albums
- 10-20 percent of publishing, touring, merchandise, film and TV rights
- Corporate endorsement deals
- Exclusive signing of all Grand Hustle artists

Sources close to T.I. tell TMZ ... he's already met with some of the industry's biggest names ... including Dr. Dre, who asked him to join Interscope over dinner at Katana recently (see picture) ... and Jay-Z, who wants T.I. in the RocNation family.

We're told Sony's put a $50 million deal on the table so far ... and Universal's meeting with him later this week to make an offer too.

All in all, not a bad group to have knocking at your door ...

He can get the money

A1000MILES

He should do Roc Nation, IMO...His artists don't hold much weight right na though, outside of B.O.B., and I guess Chip overseas...

I think Dre would be a good look for him

lol @ investing 75m on TI in 2013.

usmarin3

75 nil in a artist that's not even doing K Dot numbers. Lol

Elzo69Revolutions

TI aint worth that....those are Janet Jackson mid 90 s numbers

You niggas can't read well. If it is true that he has already been offered $50 million then $75 is not out of the question and if you look at the stuff included in the deal it could make sense to a label

The niggas talent is worth whatever somebody is willing to pay for it. *Shrugs

Well as far as leadership (LA reid) and history its southern lol.

Lol at the south having no major record compaies ( def jam in east, interscope in west)

chiyosuke

You may want to research Epic for their history bruh... Hell, LA ain't even from the South, although he did a lot to jumpstart the game down here. I digress though. LA & TIP have history. He dropped TI from LaFace after I'm Serious' sales. He's since expressed regret pver that, but hell, who knows.

I've got 75 mil. I'll have my people talk to his people.

"Exclusive signing of all Grand Hustle artists"

lol like that's gonna make labels jump to spend 75 mill. like someone else said, BOB is the only one worth money on that label. Maybe Dro if he could get an album out

[Deleted User]

75 mill isn't alot to ask being he stays off the bullshit.....

from what I see he is gradually moving up towards where he once was relevance wise.... he may never have that 06' aura about him again, but then again who knows......
