TI, 43, puts his ’embarrassing’ son King, 19, in a HEADLOCK over ‘silver spoon’ taunts as family feud turns physical at Atlanta Falcons game: ‘He sucked on a pacifier until he was 12 years old’
TI got into a physical altercation with his son at an Atlanta Falcons NFL game when a family argument over “silver spoon” taunts turned ugly.
The 43-year-old rapper – born Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. – and his wife Tiny, 48, were hosting their 19-year-old son King and others in a luxury suite at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday when the father and son clashed.
TI had been performing at the 50th anniversary hip-hop celebration at the Falcons game, when a playful back-and-forth ensued as King livestreamed the entire incident on Instagram.
At the beginning of the clip, the Rubber Band Man hitmaker was heard saying, “King, have you ever woken up with a cockroach on your face?”
King wasn’t too happy with the statement, as he revealed that he didn’t even grow up in his parents’ house and instead lived with his grandmother.

That’s when Tiny, real name Tameka Dianne Cottle-Harris, didn’t hold back and picked up the phone and said, “I’m going to tell you the reason why he wanted to be there.” Are you ready?
Because he can suck on a pacifier there. When he was 12 years old, he sucked on a pacifier since he was 12 years old. He didn’t do that in the house. He cried like a baby.’
King wasn’t too happy about the revelation as he took the phone back and was defiant.
He angrily replied, “They’re trying to say I was in there sucking a paci, but they’re not going to tell you everything. They try to hide it. He hedges.”
It seemed like TI and Tiny’s eldest child reached a breaking point together when he started yelling about being known for his business dealings and even accusing his parents of being drunk.
King said, “You guys had too much to drink. N***as are drunk too much.”
TI then accuses his son of being “emotional,” to which King says he and his mother are lying and joking, known as “capping.”
King starts screaming while Tiny tries to calm him down by wrapping her hands around his neck.

At that moment you heard TI come in as the patriarch said, “You’re embarrassing yourself and your family. You’re making a fool of yourself’
Then things apparently start to get physical as the camera is covered as King can be heard yelling “Get off me” as T.I. goes on to say “you’re embarrassing yourself”
It doesn’t seem to work as the teen continuously yells at his mother about his father, “Who lets him play with me like that!?”
Tiny tries to tell him that his father is joking, but King doesn’t believe him.

For a moment, the camera was able to see the bottom of TI’s face as it is clear that his son is in the grip somehow.
The What You Like hitmaker then defiantly tells his son: ‘Boy, you can’t do anything with me. There’s nothing you can do with me.’
TI and Tiny welcomed King in 2004 after the rapper had already achieved great success with the studio album Trap Muzik, which went platinum.
The couple has two other children together: 15-year-old Major and seven-year-old Heiress.
In September 2021, TI and Tiny were acquitted of sexual assault charges, months after a woman came forward claiming the rapper and his wife drugged and assaulted her 16 years earlier after meeting at a nightclub.
In September 2021, TI and Tiny were acquitted of sexual assault charges.
Earlier in 2021, a woman came forward claiming that the rapper and his wife drugged and assaulted her sixteen years earlier after meeting at a nightclub.
She claimed in court documents that she was first introduced to the couple by a man handing out flyers at a local mall, and that she was invited to a club where they would be the next evening.
In an Instagram video, the rapper was adamant and denied “all these disgusting, anonymous accusations.”
Prosecutors decided not to pursue the case because it fell outside the ten-year statute of limitations in September 2021, which was initially reported by TMZ.
The outcome was similar to another case, in which another woman accused T.I. and Tiny of drugging and sexually assaulting her in Las Vegas in 2010. The Las Vegas case also fell outside the statute of limitations, so there were ultimately no charges.
While addressing several allegations, TI suggested that he and his wife had consensual sex with other people within their relationship, but that no one was ever forced to do anything he didn’t want to do.
“Whatever we’ve done has been done with consensual adults who like what we like and like what we like,” he said in the video posted on January 29, 2021, adding, “I never raped anyone, never raped anyone. ‘
