AceShowbiz - T.I. is holding no grudge against Morgan Freeman. Although the "Now You See Me" star got him fired from the "Las Vegas" film years ago, the "Whatever You Like" spitter claimed he has no hard feelings for the actor.
"Just to be honest, I wasn't prepared," the 42-year-old said during a recent appearance on "Club Shay Shay". When Shannon Sharpe asked him about the time "a famous actor got mad at you during a table read," the emcee smiled and replied, "Say no to drugs, kids."
Tip then explained, "Just to be honest, I wasn't prepared." He added, "That was an opportunity I should've taken more seriously. I completely accept accountability and I've grown from that."
The rapper admitted that Morgan made him feel terrible when he called him out in front of everyone due to his lack of preparation. However, he acknowledged that he managed to learn the lesson.
"That's something I needed in my journey because that - it was like a shock to the system," he stated. Though he feels he could have given a positive contribution to the 2013 movie, Tip insisted that Morgan wasn't the one to blame.
Tim has previously discussed the matter, noting that he left a studio session and got to the table read where he began nodding off. That was when Morgan slammed him in front of everyone. He later received a call from his manager who told him, "Morgan Freeman said he won't work with you. They don’t want you."
