TI Talks About His Novel on Chelsea Lately

October 26, 2011


Chelsea Handler and T.I. have a weird relationship that's comedic gold. Last night, Chelsea had her on-again-off-again beau on her show, fresh out of his second stint in prison. It looks like the rapper's stay was fruitful—he has a novel out to show for it. The book, Power & Beauty, is the fictional account of two teenagers that are "thrust into adult situations," or as Chelsea puts it, "were horny." At some point, protagonist Power (yep, that's his name) is taken under the wing of a mentor that leads him in the wrong direction. Chelsea asks Clifford if he had one, to which he replies, "Yes, but he was in prison, too." She replies, "I guess things worked out perfectly, then." But even though the two are still hilarious together onscreen, their flirtation has cooled. Could it have something to do with Tip's wife Tiny's painfully awkward time with Chelsea last year?
