T.I. was a force to be reckoned with in the early ’00s. The Atlanta legend sold multi-platinum albums, went No. 1 on the Billboard 200 three different times and has a trio of Grammy Awards on his shelf. When he called himself the King of the South, it was hard to argue his claim with all of his accomplishments.
These days, T.I. still thinks the title for the King of the South is still his, and he made it loud and clear in an Instagram post on Wednesday (August 11). In his post, T.I. shared a quote that said, “You can’t compete with the person you stealin yo style from.”
Without naming any names T.I., took the conversation to his caption with a message for his “minions” trying to be like him.
“Message to all my minions,” he wrote. “1st. Don’t forget who taught you it was OK to be KING 2nd. Replicas can NEVER replace REAL…But go off tho 3. If we being honest… Y’all can’t even fux wit a picture of me End of msg…”
Although he claims he’s still the King, T.I. still gets in trouble like the rest of us. Last week, T.I. was arrested in Amsterdam for breaking a cop’s side mirror while using his phone biking around town.
“So I’m locked up now,” he said in an Instagram Live video uploaded by TMZ. “I’m obviously not supposed to have my phone as I’m biking and because the policeman ran into me and broke his side mirror…and I didn’t have my passport on me. I don’t know. It’ll be fine. He was extremely upset. I, myself, was out having a great time. I’m still not upset. They arrested me and didn’t even put me in handcuffs. They just opened the door and invited me to the backseat. I obliged.”
He added, “Let me see how I can make my bond real quick ’cause they don’t take cash. I got cash in my pocket, but they don’t seem to take this [laughs]. I ain’t no handcuffs put on me yet. They ain’t search me yet. We working on the buddy system out here and I like it.”
T.I. Arrested In Amsterdam: 'It Said Police In A Different Language'
T.I. ended being set free and explained that he didn’t know the person yelling at him to stop was a police officer.
“He was in a white van,” he said. “I didn’t know he was police. He looked like a furniture delivery …. I didn’t know he was. So then he pulled and I kept going, kept pushing like he wasn’t talking to me because I didn’t know what he was saying.”
Him and Tiny been passing out the bump disease to these young dumb strippers since the beginning of time, and he aint had a good album since Trap Muzik. If you have to tell people you are the king, you aren’t.
You can dislike somebody, but saying he hasn’t had a good album since Trap Muzik, his 2ND ALBUM, disqualifies you from all serious conversation. It makes you either a) a troll or b) somebody who knows absolutely nothing about this thing of ours. Either way, you can’t be taken seriously.
Facts
TI tip of the souwthan paynus is trash. The fuckin end.FACTS
First off you’re a weirdo for always mentioning someone’s privates or making gay jokes. Secondly… T.I. made his name during the era where people actually had to buy your album not these bogus streaming numbers.
You’re clearly high on meth
Saying he hasn’t had a good record since Trap Muzik is a bit extreme, but hey, I laughed at it. Kudos.
TI only names names to the Feds
BURNED EM LMAO
If this bastard drops T.I. vs T.I.P. 2…
FREE SPODEE
TI been meh for the last few years. Dude hasn’t been the same since 2014, doesn’t even sound like the same person anymore. Plus he works with and cosigns some of the wackest rappers nowadays. The last real TI album was Trouble Man.
Same I said why all the rappers he sign garbage t.I. Was one of the greatest rappers of his time
Tip is a living legend. More than half of the music you guys listen to is spawned from Jay Z,Lil Wayne and Tip. Dude created a whole Genre by himself. Show some fucking respect to a Southern Iconic trend setter.
