T.I. Video Halted By Louis Vuitton And Gucci

T.I. has spoken about why the music video for 'Swing Ya Rag' never made it on TV.

The song should have been a single from his new 'Paper Trail' album, but it seems two clothing giants put a block on the promo being aired - as they were unhappy with their brands featuring in the video.

"We did it [the 'Swing Ya Rag' video], and it came out hot," T.I. tells MTV. "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."

T.I. has released more singles from 'Paper Trail' - 'Swagger Like Us' and Live Your Life (featuring Rihanna).
