T.I. Says King Went Too Far, Frames 50 Cent Feud as Family Defense

With no on-record reply from 50 Cent, T.I. pivots to limiting his family’s role as “Let ’Em Know” climbs the Hot 100.

Overview

  • T.I. said he told his son King to stop after seeing a T-shirt featuring a photo of 50 Cent’s late mother, calling that moment a line crossed.
  • He emphasized raising his children to act with respect, adding that he did not want his kids involved even as he understands their instinct to protect their mother, Tiny Harris.
  • King and Domani Harris released diss tracks after 50 Cent targeted their family on Instagram, with outlets describing Domani’s approach as more measured than King’s.
  • T.I. reiterated that his goal was to defend his family rather than defeat 50 Cent and rejected suggestions the clash was a promotional ploy for his next album.
  • 50 Cent has not answered on wax and has removed many family-focused posts, while T.I.’s Pharrell-produced single “Let ’Em Know” rises to No. 38 on the Hot 100 and his album Kill the King is expected in April, according to Billboard.
