Scott Stapp changes his story of how T.I. saved his life

The singing lump of Human Clay explained to TMZ on Wednesday: “I had met T.I. back in 2004; we were both writing songs for ‘The Passion of The Christ: Songs Inspired By’ soundtrack, and we had briefly interacted there and knew what each [other] looked like. We’d talked about being fans of Alabama … and as I’m lying on the ledge, blood fell to [T.I.’s] feet and he looked up and he had an Alabama hat on. I said, ‘roll tide,’ and then he looked at me and put two and two together and really saved my life.”

In 2015, Stapp was placed on a psychiatric hold after allegedly threatening to kill then-President Barack Obama. Later that year, he revealed he’d been diagnosed with bipolar disorder after suffering a “psychotic break.” T.I., meanwhile, seems to be taking a break from the “Rescuing Literal Falling Rock Stars” business. The entertainment mogul is involved in a lawsuit with cryptocurrency businessman Ryan Felton, as investors in their FLik Token crypto are upset that the get-rich-quick scheme backfired. Turns out T.I. can save you from getting flattened, but not from going flat broke.
