Earlier this week, rapper T.I.‘s 18-year-old son, King, was arrested, for reasons not yet disclosed. Since King’s arrest fans have taken to T.I.’s Instagram comments to offer their two cents on how he should handle the situation.

Today, T.I. finally responded to commentors in the form of an Instagram video, saying that he’s already spoken to his son, and has tried to steer him in the right direction. He noted that he spoke to King from personal experience.

“Got a small request,” T.I. said. “Stop hitting me and getting in my comments, telling me what to tell King, okay? I know my son. Think I ain’t spoke to my son? Think I ain’t told my son, his mama, and his grandmama? His ass going to prison if he g*ddamn keeps up. His ass going to prison. Ain’t no way around it. Ain’t nothing I’m going to be able to do it about it. Can’t nobody stop it but him. I’ve already had the conversation, I’ve already made my peace with it. ‘Cause I know that energy—I was that energy. I know exactly how it’s gonna turn out.”

Despite the arrest, T.I. maintains that he has faith in his son and that he will learn from this experience.

“King’s a good kid,” T.I. said. “He’s chasing after the wrong sh*t and I trust in God to deal with it the way he see fit. … Now, he going have to go through it and get through it.”

T.I. Takes Aim At Sexual Assault Accusers In New Song: 'I’m Up Against Some Lyin’ A*s B*tches'

How do you think Power Book II: Ghost would have been if T.I. was Attorney Davis MacLean instead of Method Man? The series stars, Michael Rainey Jr. and Gianni Paolo, were caught in the street by TMZ, who revealed T.I. was once rumored to be their co-star instead of the Wu-Tang Clan legend.

The TMZ reporter who caught up with the two stars asked did a past beef of 50 Cent ever interfere with their show and they recall expecting T.I. to be on set. Instead, Method Man was present.

“I heard – this is a rumor, I can’t confirm,” Paolo opened.”T.I. was supposed to play Method Man’s character. I don’t know if there was beef or something happened, but he never ended up playing him, and Meth was Davis MacLean.”

“This was early in the production before we started filming,” Rainey added.

After being asked was is it a product of beef, Paolo said: “We showed up to set, and Method was there. They didn’t really tell us.”

But both stars agreed that Method Man is a better fit. You can catch the interview below.

Perhaps the beef between T.I. and 50 Cent was this, or this, maybe even this.

On this date in Hip Hop History, the self-proclaimed “King of the South” released his sophomore album aptly titled Trap Muzik on Atlantic Records in conjunction with Tip’s newly formed Grand Hustle Records.

This was a big improvement from T.I.’s I’m Serious debut release, with guest appearances from the likes of Jazzy Pha, 8 Ball & MJG, Bun B, and T.I’s “In-house” producer DJ Toomp executive producing the album. Hit singles such as “Rubber Band Man,” “Be Easy,” and “Let’s Get Away” led T.I. to his first certified platinum plaque.

Also, T.I. introduced the concept of the “trap” in the album, revealing, “It’s another outlook on the trap. Before, trappin’ was cool, but now trappin’ ain’t cool. It’s necessary for some, but no, it ain’t cool – even if you are a hustler. All the hustlers I know – sellin’ dope is the last thing they wanna do. If you a real hustler, you gon’ move on to bigger and better things.”

Salute to T.I., Jason Geter, DJ Toomp, and everyone else involved with this timeless piece of Hip Hop history!

T.I. Confirms He Hit A Chainsmokers Member For Kissing Him

T.I.

T.I. recently confirmed that he indeed hit a Andrew Taggert, a member of the Chainsmokers, when he tried to kiss him.

“Love The Chainsmokers, they make great music, you know,” T.I. said in a video posted to his IG. “It’s really not much more to the story that you’ve already heard.”

He added: “I think the most important thing to take away is afterward, we had a drink, we took a shot, and we moved on, you know? Loving the party, having a good time.”

T.I. even said he’s still a fan of the group and wants to invite them on an episode of ExpediTIously. Minus the kissing of course.

“As a matter of fact, I would love to have you guys. I was thinking about some guests to bring on ExpediTIously. I would love to have you guys on ExpediTIously if you can find the time to just sit down and chop it up. I’d love to kick it with you if y’all got some time on your hands. You know, let’s catch a vibe.”

The Chainsmokers had posted a TikTok earlier this week called “When meeting T.I. goes wrong.” In the video, Chainsmokers member, Andrew Taggert could be seen hanging out with T.I. in the video one moment, then the next he’s in a car saying how he got punched by T.I.

“T.I. just literally punched me in the face,” he said as the other group members laughed in the background. “We’re in a vibe and I, like, gave him a kiss on the cheek — it was totally my fault.”

People hate The Chainsmokers. Clearly not all people based on how successful the electronic/pop duo is, but hundreds of thousands of Google search results indicate there is indeed some hate. The hate is so prominent, in fact, that the duo actually addressed it on their 2018 single “Everybody Hates Me.” They had some palpable hate fly their way recently, when T.I. punched the group’s Drew Taggart in the face.

My bad T.I. won’t happen again… unless?

♬ original sound – The Chainsmokers

The Chainsmokers shared a TikTok yesterday and it starts with the title “When meeting T.I. goes wrong” over footage of them posing for photos with the rapper at an event. The video then cuts to Taggart in a car, saying as others laugh in the background, “T.I. just literally punched me in the face. We were on a vibe, and I gave him a kiss on the cheek; It was totally my fault. He was like, ‘Don’t do that.’ I was like, ‘OK.’ He pushed me off and I was like, ‘Alright, my bad.’

Fellow Chainsmoker Alex Pall interjected, “Dude, his friend goes, ‘You need to get your boy,’ and I go, ‘What the f…,’ I don’t even know what happened. I had no context.”

Taggart continued, “He punched me in the face, and I was like, ‘OK, I’m sorry.’ And he was like, ‘Alright, cool, we’re good.’ It was the weirdest interaction ever.” He went on to elaborate, “First of all, T.I.’s fully in the right here. I was feeling the vibes way too hard and I kissed T.I. on the cheek [laughs] and he punched me in the face for it. It’s fully fine.”

In a 17-minute video shared on Instagram today, T.I. told his side of the story, and like Taggart, T.I. had a good-natured take on the proceedings. He just laughs for about the first 30 seconds of the video and indicates he’s been made aware of the situation becoming a matter of public interest. He continues, “OK, first of all, I love The Chainsmokers [laughs], OK, so let’s just get that straight. I love The Chainsmokers, first of all. I have nothing negative to say. We just had to work through some stuff and we worked through it. We got to a much better place.”

He didn’t get into specifics of what happened, but he did say, “There’s really not much more to the story than you’ve already heard.” He added, “Afterwards, we had a drink, we took a shot, you know what I’m saying, and we moved on.” He also said, “Love The Chainsmokers… not to get no sugar, though, you know what I’m saying?”

T.I. also invited the duo to guest on his ExpediTIously podcast, so perhaps a more detailed account of what happened is on the way.
