Rapper T.I. and his wife Tiny found themselves dealing with a heated argument with their adult son, King. The incident took place at the Atlanta Falcons’ 50th anniversary of Hip Hop celebration on Sunday.
The video, which was shared on Twitter, shows King boasting about growing up in the tough neighborhood and being street-smart. However, T.I. wasn’t willing to let his son’s remarks slide. What began as a playful banter quickly took a serious turn and almost escalated into a physical altercation.
Tiny chimed in, playfully reminding their son that he used to suck on a pacifier until he was 12 years old and cried like a baby. This didn’t sit well with King, causing him to become even more upset. T.I. then firmly told his son, “You are embarrassing yourself.”
Witnessing T.I.’s approach, some people may have mixed feelings about how he handled the situation. This incident isn’t the first time T.I.’s parenting skills have been in the spotlight. There was a previous story in 2020 that drew a lot of attention:
T.I.’s Daughter Speaks Out About Controversial Comments
T.I. faced significant backlash when he made controversial comments about accompanying his daughter to gynecology appointments to ensure her hymen was intact. The remarks sparked outrage as many people felt that his actions were invasive and disrespectful.
In response to the criticism, T.I. appeared on Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith to clarify his statements and apologize for any hurt he may have caused. He admitted that he had exaggerated and embellished the truth, claiming it was meant as a joke.
More recently, an episode of T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle showed T.I.’s daughter, Deyjah, in tears as she discussed her father’s comments. She expressed her discomfort and embarrassment and revealed that the incident had strained their relationship.
It’s unclear how T.I. and Deyjah’s relationship has evolved since then.
While controversies surrounding T.I.’s parenting choices continue to make headlines, it’s important to remember that every family faces challenges. As parents, it’s our responsibility to communicate openly and respectfully with our children, even when matters become difficult.
