T.I. recently revealed that one of the many supporters he had while doing his most recent stint in jail was none other than Eminem. In an interview with MTV, Tip expressed his gratitude for the Detroit megastar's kind words and encouragement.

"Em personally reached out to me, and we been speaking ever since, especially since I went through my situation [with having to go to prison]. [He would] just kinda remind me that 'I've been through dark period in my life too. You're gonna make it. You're one of the ones we need, so you're gonna make it. Stand tall and walk the walk.' He just made it a point to always reassure me of the spot that I hold in this thing that we got called hip-hop. It was incredibly helpful. It was incredibly noble of him, in my eyes, to even take the time out to reach out to me."

In the same interview T.I. also revealed that there is an as yet unrecorded collaboration planned with Eminem for his King Uncaged album. Let's hope it's better than "Touchdown" off of T.I. vs. T.I.P.
