T.I. has crowned the newest member of his Hustle Gang, and his choice may surprise some fans. The Atlanta rapper has named none other than country/pop icon Taylor Swift as an "Extended Member of Hustle Gang."
Though it may seem like an unlikely friendship, Swift and Tip have connected on stage together before. In keeping with her tradition of inviting local legends on stage wherever she is touring, Swift invited T.I. on stage during a recent tour stop in Atlanta. He revealed the news to MTV, saying:
"Taylor's extended Hustle Gang. She a part of the crew. She just ain't got her dog tags yet, but she's a part of the crew though."
Swift's new affiliation is not, however, her only overlap with the hip-hop world. She is rumored to have recorded a new track with B.o.B., though Bobby Ray declined the opportunity to hype the track, telling sources:
"I can't discredit nor confirm the rumor. Once it's began, it's begun and it will take its course."
