So much for the complaints about T.I. doing business on his luxury bus as he left prison. The rapper apparently convinced federal prison officials he wasn't trying to break any of their guidelines when he met with his manager and a TV producer as he took the bus from the federal prison in Arkansas to the halfway house in Atlanta. That's according to T.I.'s lawyer, Steve Sadow, because the Bureau of Federal Prisons isn't commenting, according to the Associated Press.

Sadow also has some praise for celebrity-media cooperation, according to TMZ.com:

The source of confusion was a book and TV deal with T.I. The deal, announced shortly after T.I. got out of prison, was firmed up months earlier, Sadow said, according to the Associated Press. That book is a novel, to be called "Power & Beauty: A Love Story of Life on the Streets," and will be out Oct. 18. You can see the book jacket here. And T.I. will be out of the Atlanta halfway house Sept. 29.
