Rapper T.I. is expanding his business empire by launching a new strip club in his Atlanta, Georgia hometown.

The Whatever You Like hitmaker and his partner, Damon Cobbs, are the brains behind the forthcoming V Live venue and over the weekend (10-12Jun16), hundreds of exotic dancers turned out for auditions for the chance to land a job at the men's club.

According to TMZ.com, an estimated 1,600 women grappled for a pole position during the open call, with only 100 dancers being selected for the high-profile gig.

V Live is due to open later this month (Jun16).

It is T.I.'s latest venture - in addition to his Grand Hustle Records label, he also owns streetwear clothing brand Akoo and Atlanta restaurant Scales 925.
