Rapper T.I. will report to prison on Tuesday to begin his year-long sentence as scheduled - his request to have the date pushed back has been denied. The “Live Your Life” hitmaker is due to turn himself in to authorities by noon on May 26 to begin a 366-day jail term, which he was handed in March following his 2007 arrest for illegal weapons possession.

The hip-hop star - real name Clifford Harris, Jr. - filed papers on Thursday asking to have the sentence delayed by ten days to give him more time to secure a cell in a minimum-security prison near his home in Atlanta, Georgia.

But on Friday afternoon U.S. District Judge Charles A. Pannell Jr. ruled T.I. must report to authorities in Forrest City, Arkansas on Tuesday as planned.

T.I.’s lawyer Donald F. Samuel tells AllHipHop.com, “There is nothing more we can do. We think he was scored the wrong way.”
