AceShowbiz - King Harris' new social media post landed him in hot water. The son of rap legend T.I. and Tiny (Tameka Cottle) was accused of trying to look like he's poor after flexing his aluminum foil bowl.
On Tuesday, January 22, King posted a video of him eating ramen noodles out of a makeshift aluminum foil bowl. "I done ran out of bowls. I done made me an aluminum foil bowl," he said in the clip. "Figure it out, man."
Upon catching wind of the post, Internet users immediately slammed the 19-year-old for acting like he's not growing up wealthy. "He wanna be from the trenches so bad. Meanwhile his daddy probably own stock in aluminum foil," one commenter said after the video was reposted by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram.
"Why tf he wanna be broke so bad even broke ppl not doin that …," one other questioned. Someone wrote, "He ain't in no trenches, wash the damn dishes," with another asking, "Does he have a poverty kink or…"
Echoing the sentiment, someone wrote, "I have never seen a rich person wish they were broke as much as him." Another comment, meanwhile, read, "Real hood ppl don't run out of bowls…..we turn containers into bowls, cups into bowls, jars into bowls, maybe even a pot into a bowl…..but we aint never made an aluminum foil bowl…..if you don't go wash them dishes you privileged kid you!"
This wasn't the first time King was trolled online. Back in August, the young rapper was mocked after flaunting his new veneer set. Despite online trolling, T.I. showed support for his son over the new look. "You know, you know he got the glow," the Atlanta icon said while King smiled and showed his new pearly whites. "That thing glow in the dark."
Tiny also showed love in an Instagram post. Thanking Dr. Mario Montoya, she wrote alongside a video of King showing off the result of the procedure, "Would like to thank @drmariomontoya for giving @the_next_king10 a #BillionDollarSmile. Had to post slide 2 for the #BigTeethPatrol to show his smile been asf before; they're just white now. Either way, he loves them and that's all that matters!"
The Xscape singer continued, "Regardless to what he does, everyone always seem to have their personal perspective of him, which is fine. -But y'all don't really know him frfr, truth is real fwh and the ladies love 'em!"
