T.I. wants to start a new chapter in his life following his bitter split from longtime wife Tameka Cottle a.k.a. Tiny. The 36-year-old rapper is reportedly looking to buy a "bachelor pad" because it's what he needs to "jumpstart his new life."

"T.I.'s really trying to start a new life!" a source tells HollywoodLife.com, before adding that he wants "a fresh start" and "free of marriage." Citing the source, the webloid asserts that the "Live Your Life" hitmaker thinks "a change of scenery and some sunshine is what he needs to jumpstart his new life."

T.I. is allegedly eying some bachelor pads in Los Angeles, particularly in the East Hollywood Hills and Sunset Plaza with "killer views and a pool." He's also looking for the right place to accommodate his children. "He's really hoping that a potential move will help him see clearly now that the rain has gone," the source adds.

Tiny filed for divorce from T.I. back in December, after six years of marriage. Though they might not be together anymore, the exes reunited when they hosted an Easter egg hunt for kids in Atlanta, Georgia on Sunday, April 16. MediaTakeOut reported that the former couple and their children had dinner at Tiny's grandmother's house.
