Louis Vuitton, Gucci Halt Release Of T.I.'s 'Swing Ya Rag' Video


Although the Swizz Beatz produced "Swing Ya Rag" was set to come out as a brand new video off T.I.'s latest album, Paper Trail, some companies mentioned on the track didn't want the attention.

The rapper told MTV recently that he has a video set and ready to go, but it's going to stay in the vaults.

"We did it, and it came out hot," Tip said of the video. "Louis [Vuitton] and Gucci started trippin' about it. They were saying we were infringing, in one way or another. They weren't happy about it. They didn't want it to come out. But it's hot, though."

So, instead, the King of the South has moved on, and a video for his latest single, "Live Your Life" with Rihanna, is on the way, and possibly one coming for "Swagger Life Us," hopefully.

"I hope we can pull that off," he told MTV, which would feature Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lil Wayne. "That was the definite intentions initially. We have to see when everybody is all available. I'm available whenever they are."

In the meantime, T.I. is gearing up for his tour and will be shooting a film titled "Bone Deep."
