Rapper T.I. is headed back to the slammer. The Grammy Award-winning artist was sentenced to serve 11 months in jail on Friday for violating the terms of his probation after he was arrested in September on suspicion of possessing ecstasy.

"I screwed up. I screwed up big time and I am sorry," the singer told U.S. District Judge Charles Pannell, (via ABC News) who also ordered him to serve a year of supervised release.
