Summary:"This investigation developed very quickly," Vanessa McLemore, an ATF special agent, said in a statement Saturday night. "We learned only this Wednesday that the cooperating witness was allegedly buying the machine guns for [Clifford Harris Jr.]. The cooperating witness told Harris on Thursday that he had obtained the items, and on Friday, Harris made it clear that he wanted them delivered to him [Saturday]. Harris then agreed to meet and took possession of the machine guns [Saturday] afternoon." "I didn't see T.I. with any weapons but the ATF officers had guns out," [Hassan Musaddiq] said. "It was total drama." The rapper, who was scheduled to perform, wasn't forgotten during the taped show. Shortly before 8 p.m., two acts took to the stage to perform T.I. songs: Wyclef Jean and DJ Drama did "You Know What It Is" followed by Busta Rhymes and Alpha Mega sharing the mike for T.I.'s "Hurt."
