Stuck inside your house, day in and day out, with nothing to do and no one but your wife and children to keep you company will make any man restless.
A jet-setting superstar who's being forced to play stay-at-home dad is no exception.
Atlanta rapper T.I., who's under house arrest awaiting trial on federal weapons charges, is asking a judge to let him host a Thanksgiving Day dinner at his Jonesboro home.
In a motion filed in federal court Tuesday, T.I — who was born Clifford Harris Jr. — requested that the judge waive the no-more-than-three visitors-at-a-time provision of his $3 million bond.
Harris, 27, wants the exception only for Turkey Day, only between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., and only for a group of visitors whose names he submitted for approval.
In another motion Tuesday, Harris also asked the judge to allow access for workers who can come clean his yard, pool and home.
Harris was arrested Oct. 13 in a Midtown parking lot as he allegedly tried to illegally buy three machine guns and two silencers.
Among the strict bond conditions that U.S. Magistrate Judge Alan Baverman set, Harris can continue to live with his girlfriend and his children. However, visitors are limited to three at a time between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., and have to be cleared with a criminal background check.
Harris' movements are monitored by a GPS system. And at least one guard lives on his property at all times, said Steve Sadow, one of three lawyers representing Harris.
If the judge grants his request, Harris will pay for additional guards for the celebration, according to the motion.
He can serve sweet tea, but his bond conditions forbid him from consuming alcohol.
Dwight Thomas, another lawyer for Harris, said he could not discuss the particulars of the motion, such as how many family members Harris was expecting.
Thomas said Harris was coping well as a prisoner in his home.
"He's doing fine. He's very upbeat," Thomas said. "He's looking forward to his day in court."
Until then, fans who want to catch a glimpse of the Atlanta rapper can catch him in the movie "American Gangster."
Among his handful of scenes is one where Harris is sitting alongside his drug overlord uncle, played by actor Denzel Washington, enjoying a Thanksgiving dinner.
Yo Clifford, sit your nappy butt down and enjoy your time out of jail, cause you need it.
