T.I.'s not smelling so sweet these days. Less than a week after being sentenced to 11 months in a federal prison for using drugs while on probation, the rapper just took another it.

AXE today gave T.I. the ax.

"We will no longer feature T.I. in our promotional campaigns," the company said in a statement to E! News.

The men's body-wash brand announced last month that it was "troubled" by his drug arrest, but withheld making any moves to drop him until he had his day in court.
