The big wigs over at PETA apparently want rapper T.I. to pose nude in their famous “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign. PETA Executive VP Tracy Reimain says, “We’re asking T.I. to use his fame and his experiences to bare the truth about the fur industry by baring his skin.”
The Atlanta based rapper is currently serving a 366 day prison term on illegal weapons charges and Michelle Cho, the leader of the famous animal rights organization, wrote a letter to T.I. on behalf of the organization, asking that he publicly show his support by baring his skin when he’s released from prison.
