In a statement, T.I. whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr, said "Today I would like to say thank-you to some, and apologize to all,"
"Everything I learned was through trial and error. I've learned lessons in my life to put in my music so people won't make the same mistakes as I."
The maximum sentence for the offense could have been 10 years. He must also complete 1000 hours of community service and pay a $100,000 fine.
