T.I. Talks the Significance of ‘Roots’ Reboot
T.I. will be starring in the History channel’s remake of the Roots series.
T.I. plays the character Cyrus, performing alongside Forest Whitaker and Laurence Fishburne. Describing his character, T.I. explains, “If you had to be a slave in the 1860s, Cyrus was the slave to be.” He elaborates on his character’s mentality, saying, “I’m not going to be your boy. I’m going to conduct myself as a man, I’m going to expect and demand respect in return.”
