While in Austin for South by Southwest (SXSW), FUSE caught up with T.I. and his protégé B.o.B. The Man and the Martian, their collective name, were asked to confirm the rumor about Taylor Swift appearing on B.o.B’s sophomore album, Strange Clouds (due out May 1). Bobby Ray chose to “neither confirm nor deny,” but Tip decided to put the rumors to rest and announce the collab. Could Bob and Taylor’s duet be as big as his duet with Paramore’s Hayley Williams (“Airplanes”)? T.I. also spoke on Grand Hustle’s latest signees – Iggy Azalea, Chip, D.O.P.E. and Trae. Before leaving, he revealed his upcoming album, Trouble Man, is scheduled to release between June and August.
“On Top Of The World” & “I’m Dat N*gga” (SXSW)
Meanwhile, Tip and his good friend Nelly are filming the video for F*ck Da City Up cut, “This Time of the Night,” at Diamonds of Atlanta strip club. Unfortunately, BET cancelled Uncut, so don’t expect to see it televised.
