In an interview with The AP, R&B superstar Ne-Yo has spoken of how he believes rapper T.I. needs to change the company he keeps in order to turn his life around.

Ne-Yo's warning comes after the rapper and his wife, Tameka Cottle were arrested on charges of possessing a controlled substance.

Blaming T.I.'s entourage for his constant run-ins with the law, the Beautiful Monster star said:

“I just feel that he makes a lot of poor decisions when it comes to the people that he surrounds himself with. Nine times out of 10 when he gets in trouble, it’s not him, it’s the people that he’s with.

“You’ve been given a bunch of different chances. Now is the time to really go, 'You know I get it, all right, I get it.'”
