If you read Hip-Hop Wired regularly, you already know T.I. has filled our headlines to the brim over the last month. From swinging on Floyd Mayweather to most recently the ethering of “Gremlin Baby” Azealia Banks on Instagram, the Troubleman will not tolerate disrespect of any kind. He spoke about this and a host of other hot topics during his visit with The Breakfast Club.
Even though he is gearing up for the release of his ninth studio album Paperwork: The Motion Picture, his name continues to stay hot outside of his recording career.
Naturally DJ Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne Tha God asked all the questions we have been wanting to the know and the result is 40 minutes of Tip uncensored.
So we present the top 12 things we learned from The Breakfast Club T.I. interview. We cried when he suggested Azealia Banks take her broke ass comments and put down $5,000.00 on a Toyota Prius. Let us know your favorite moment in the comments below.

Floyd
As Tip has explained before, he does not talk after his fights. So when asked about the infamous rumble at Fat Burger he did not confirm or deny anything.
Azealia
Regarding Azealia’s recent tweets, T.I. doesn’t play when it comes to his family. So if someones comes at him expect a swift retort.
Shekinah Types
When asked what exactly is a Shekinah type, Tip simply said “an education hater”. Oh.
Disdain
When asked why he took a swipe at Shekinah he stated “no disrespect to the OG, but it’s like I started hanging out with Flavor Flav. The sh– just doesn’t look right.”
68th Tony Awards
Hugh Jackman personally called T.I. to perform with him at the recent Tony Awards. Funny enough Tip stepped to LL Cool J and said “hey man, you know if we don’t do this right it’s going to be kind of corny.” Thankfully Uncle L was on board and a musical travesty was avoided.
Reality Television
The Family Hustle has been renewed for a couple of more seasons with a spinoffs for Tiny & Shekinah and a separate one for T.I. on the way.
Iggy
When discussing Iggy Azalea, he knew she was going to be a star during their initial introduction. He credits her attitude and work ethic for making her the success she is now.
Sisterhood
T.I. originally developed the Sisterhood Of Hip Hop show to tell Iggy’s story. But when the show got green lighted, Iggy wasn’t with the premise of the show. T.I. then had to get different female rappers and here we are.
Superman
During his most recent act of valor, T.I. saw a young lady get jack knifed in a car crash. Being the man he is, Tip got out of his car and helped the female out of the vehicle. This is his third time saving a life.
The Standoff
Interestingly enough Tip said he would only stand side to side with only a certain few of his Rap friends when police and guns come into play. The short list includes The Game, Jeezy and Killer Mike.
Clothing
Clothing is big business for T.I. and his crew. AKOO is doing very well in and Hustle Gang, which is their sportswear brand, did $600K in online business during the holidays alone.
