King Harris Claims He Grew Up With His Grandma During “T.I. & Tiny” Filming

by

King Harris was born into a life of fame and success as the son of T.I. and Tiny, and had cameras on him quick through their reality TV show T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle. However, apparently what we saw on television is very different to what he actually went through, showing that sometimes there’s more to folks than meets the eye. Moreover, the aspiring rapper recently sat down for an interview with Funny Marco, on which he revealed what his living situation was actually like during the filming of that show. Despite the life they released into the world, he claims things were not as tight as they seemed.

“What do you feel that they got on you that they shouldn’t have on you? ‘Cause I feel like [when] you grow up, it’s like you can’t be you.” the host asked the 19-year-old. “Yeah, man, it’s a lot about that TV show, man, that [confuses] people,” King Harris remarked. “Because I live with my grandma. You know, we’ll go to the house on, like, the weekend. They’ll say ‘Hey, we shooting today. We need y’all at the house.’ They go get me from my grandma’s house. Right after we done, when the cameras go off, I’m right back to my grandma’s house, yeah.”

With these new claims in mind, it certainly paints an interesting dynamic in the family. Of course, we also have to keep in mind that- according to fans correcting this on social media- they actually did mention this in The Family Hustle at some point. As such, it’s tough to say whether this is a point of frustration for King Harris, a personal choice, or something else entirely. Fortunately, it seems like from this testimony, this isn’t a resented set-up.

Meanwhile, we’re sure that he would much rather speak on this than continue to face backlash and criticism online. The most recent example of this is when the reality star and MC tried to have a homeless man do the Paqui One Chip Challenge. Antics like that will probably continue, and now we have a different context for who’s the one responding to it at home. For more news and the latest updates on King Harris, come back to HNHH.

YoungBoy Never Broke Again Recalls Growing Up In Group Home

by

YoungBoy Never Broke Again reflected on growing up in a group house during his recent cover story for Billboard. Speaking with the outlet, he explained that his path changed drastically when his grandmother died in 2010. At the group home, YoungBoy had a difficult time getting along with the other kids.

“I used to get beat up inside the group home for no reason,” he said while shaking. “The other boys would put their hands on me, and I would look up like, ‘Why are you hitting me, bro? What’d I do?’ It made me discover another side of me that I never glorified or liked. I found out how to be the person that you don’t want to do that with.” He added that he “never understood all the evilness or wrong” because his grandmother had shown him so much love.

When the interviewer suggested that take a break, YoungBoy admitted, “It’s not going to stop.” Billboard described his jewelry as “audibly rattling,” by this point. He confessed, “I’m very scared right now. It’s just natural. I’m not big on people.”

“I never knew why once I walked on the stage, I could get it done and leave — but I am terrified of people. People are cruel. This is a cruel place,” YoungBoy continued. He then turned his seat toward the view behind him: “You’ve got to be thankful for it. It’s very beautiful, you know? There’s so much you can experience inside of it. But it is a very cruel place. And it’s not my home.”

While living in Utah, the rapper took in a group of missionaries who introduced him to the religion.
