Once again, the countdown begins. MTV has learned that T.I. will be released from prison the day after tomorrow, but will report immediately to a halfway house to wrap up the remainder of his sentence. The Kang was initially going to be released September 29.

UPDATE: Tip’s release date remains on September 29. His attorney tells XXL:

The Bureau of Prisons they won’t give you the information [of his release] until the very last minute. The Bureau of Prisons makes all the decisions once [someone goes] into the federal system then the federal prisons is the governing body as to when he’s released, the judge has no control over it. And you don’t have any real contact with them, they don’t communicate with you and they don’t tell you when exactly he’s gonna be released. They don’t even cooperate with me and tell me much of anything. He’s doing great. He’s certainly looking forward to getting this behind him.”

UPDATE 2: The King has returned.

Feels great to be back where I belong…Back in the arms of those who need me the most. The storm is over & da sun back out. IT’S OUR TIME TO SHINE SHAWTY!!!!!! Welcome to the beginning of our Happy Ending!!!!

Not everyone is happy with Tyler’s Video Music Award victory. GLAAD issued the statement below in regards to the rapper’s 213 anti-gay slurs on his album, Goblin. That is so gay. Oops.

“Rather than providing simply a larger platform, MTV and other networks should educate viewers about why anti-gay and misogynistic language has no place in the music industry today,” said Herndon Graddick, Senior Director of Programs at GLAAD. “Given Tyler’s history of such remarks, viewers and potential sponsors should refrain from honoring homophobia and in the future look to a more deserving artist.”
