AceShowbiz - King Harris has addressed viral footage of T.I. and Boosie Badazz (Lil Boosie) confronting their sons for using guns during music video filming. After he came under fire, the 20-year-old has defended himself, claiming that the situation was not an accurate reflection of himself.
"Y'all ain't ever seen me post a gun ever in life, I don't even own a gun," he said. King continued, insisting that this is simply not who he is. "I'm not that guy," he explained. "I'm for entertainment purposes only."
In the viral video that circulated online on Tuesday, September 24, veteran hip-hop stars T.I. and Boosie confronted their sons, King and Tootie Raw, for using guns in a music video. The incident has sparked discussion about parental responsibility and the influence of violent imagery in music.
During the filming, T.I. and Boosie questioned why their sons had so many firearms and raised concerns about the message being portrayed. T.I. argued that the "manner" and "lifestyle" being depicted could lead to legal trouble and be a negative example for others.
King initially defended their actions, stating that it was not illegal to possess guns. However, T.I. and Boosie emphasized the importance of responsible gun ownership and the potential consequences of displaying weapons in a public space.
Despite the viral nature of the video, T.I.'s wife Tiny Harris a.k.a. Tameka Cottle clarified that it was not a recent incident but from a previously filmed television show. She defended her son, stating that the situation was being taken out of context.
Fans have praised T.I. and Boosie for setting boundaries with their sons and addressing the issue of gun violence in hip-hop culture. Both fathers have personal experiences with gun charges and are keen to prevent their children from making similar mistakes.
