Boosie & T.I. Call Out Their Sons For Props
The trending video, obtained and shared by The Shade Room, begins with Tip raising his voice amid a group of people. King, Boosie, and Tootie Raw are all visible in the circulating clip.
“Treat mine like you treat yours,” T.I. says as he walks away from the group. Boosie then chimes in, saying, “Why y’all got so much guns, bro? Why y’all always gotta have guns?”
T.I. added, “What is it about the guns, man?” while standing next to Boosie.
King Harris then responds, “It’s not illegal to have guns.” But T.I. didn’t back down, adding that the “manner” and “lifestyle” King was allegedly portraying the music video makes the gun possession look illegitimate. In response, Boosie let the boys know he won’t be supporting the video. T.I. agreed.
“What kind of parent gon’ support their godd**n kids when they sliding, riding and popping…” Tip said, before posing a question to the group about who would claim ownership of the guns on set if the police pulled up.
“…Who raising they hand?” he asked.
Both Boosie and T.I. then began running down what kind of legal trouble King Harris and Tootie Raw could get into for having the firearms on set, particularly if there are any drugs around. King denied there being drugs, though.
“That is a felony, thank you!” T.I. loudly declared.
Then, Tip asked Tootie and King why doesn’t their music focus on something other than the gangster lifestyle, such as “being in love.” Someone responds “We got that too,” before the video cuts off. Watch the father-son interactions below.
Social Media Reacts To Fathers’ Concerns
Boosie and T.I.’s reactions seemingly come from a place of experience as they’ve both had separate, legal troubles involving firearms. In 2009, T.I. was sentenced to one year in prison for gun-related charges after serving 1,000 community hours and touring the country to advocate about the dangers of drugs, guns and gangs, per Reuters. Meanwhile, in July, Boosie spoke out after being indicted for a second time on gun charges.
In The Shade Room’s comment section, the circulating clip collected more than 8,000 written reactions. Many applauded the fathers for checking their sons over the music video props.
@iamspectacular wrote, “This is why fatherhood is important. Lead the kids Kings.”
“Perfect example of ‘learn from my mistakes,'” @jls417 wrote.
“Both Boosie and Tip went to prison they telling y’all the truth. This is correct parenting right here,” @unemployed.mike added.
Radio personality Ebro also weighed in, writing, “First, why ya’ll rapping anyway? Too many rappers already. Second, why are you lying be yourself. Third, that’s why the one brother, Domani, kinda poppin’ …. Being himself. Amd furthermore… love this.”
@_jaixo said, “Thinking they spent them years in prison for y’all to go the same route is crazy. These kids man.”
In other news, on Monday (Sept. 23), T.I. and Tiny Harris walked away from their third trial against MGA Entertainment with a $71 million win.
