The rapper (real name: Clifford Harris Jr.) was released from a halfway house earlier this year, following a seven-month prison term for buying illegal firearms during a sting in October 2007 in Atlanta.
Then, this September, TIP was popped in Los Angeles -- alongside his wife Tiny -- on drug possession charges after being pulled over for a traffic violation.
Thanks to the arrest, he was found guilty of violating his probation during a hearing and received the new sentence. The rapper is now being ordered to report back to Forrest City Correctional Facility in Arkansas where he served his last prison stretch.
Despite having to serve 11 months, T.I. won't have to face the drug charges in Los Angeles. The city's District Attorney's Office announced this week that they will not move forward with the charges due to legal issues with the case.
At press time, it was unknown the exact day T.I. plans to turn himself in to begin serving his sentence.
