Despite being behind bars…Rapper T.I. is still trying to spread some good to the world!

For Memorial Day weekend, Tip sponsored a bus trip for 46 family members of 14 fellow inmates at the Forrest City Correctional Facility in Arkansas (where he currently resides).

MTV News has obtained a statement from the King himself on behalf of his kind gesture.  Check it out below:

“I’ve been blessed to receive tons and tons of mail from my fans, family and friends, as well as get visits on a regular basis. Unfortunately some guys aren’t as fortunate. There are a lot of good dudes in here that haven’t been able to see there loved ones in years. Their families can’t afford the trip so I wanted to help out.”
