T.I. has been one of the most ardent supporters of Kevin Samuels since the image consultant’s unexpected death earlier this month. After initially brushing off those who didn’t appreciate Samuels’ frequent disparaging of Black women, Tip decided to up his love for Samuels and his work regarding relationships and interpersonal communication between Black men and women with an entire show of his ExpediTIously podcast dedicated to his memory.
On Friday (May 13), Tip uploaded an Instagram video of both men and women who praised Samuels’ work, referring to him as an “uncle they never had” and helping certain men “understand their worth and significance.”
“Gon keep reppin for all the strong minded black men that society has trained you to hate because they don’t go along with the programming,” Tip captioned his post. “Fun fact:There can be no bad without good & vice versa. Don’t let herd mentality make you ignore the value of information….That’s when they got you right where they want you. As promised I’m dropping a special unreleased episode of @expeditiouslyti dedicated to @kevinrsamuels soon. until then… chew on this! ”
Kevin Samuels passed away on May 5 in Atlanta at the age of 57. A woman who met Samuels days prior was with him at the apartment when he complained of chest pains and fell to the floor. She called 911 and first responders attempted to perform CPR on him but he was later pronounced dead at Piedmont Hospital. An official cause of death has yet to be determined.
T.I. Defends Kevin Samuels From 'Bullies' Following Dating Guru's Death
On May 7, T.I. scolded detractors of the late relationship guru in a 14-minute Instagram video, referring to them as “bullies” who would dance on Samuels’ grave rather than let the dearly departed rest.
“I can’t stand it,” Tip said. “I ain’t gon’ let y’all bully this dead man. We gon’ let this man rest in peace. Whatever he did, he did it and [he’s] gone. He got away with it. Fuck ya. That’s between him and God. Him and the Lord gon’ have to deal with it. You ain’t got no heaven or hell to put him in. So, I wanna see who the fuck wanna say something [to] me while I’m still alive.”
Fake woke morons like TI think if it’s not the mainstream it must be a truth. No you moron, there’s mainstream thoughts and then constructive thoughts about defeating mainline thinking. What you’re supporting is a disgusting mind that degrades others. How is that what you’re championing? Loser.
You’re just the type of person Tip’s speaking about. A soft minded sheep that believes there’s only one perspective out there to accept. Kevin Samuels told lazy, overly-entitled and toxic women what he felt they desperately needed to hear. All power must be checked and for Some, they received what his message was. That man only advocated for a true look into what we accept from others and what we should accept for ourselves. I think your mind is disgusting tbh, for you to think you have the authority to call someone who is nonviolent and accountable for his words, disgusting and another person who’s largely successful because of what he thinks, a moron. You should be more humble
Dude, stfu. It ain’t that serious; this is just a hip-hop site…
T.I. needs to go away for a little while; this extra pretentious mofo is exhausting…
Doesn’t it suck ?
When you miss someone.
I laughed when that 5 foot tall loud mouth got busted thinking he was Rambo. Maybe you can get that commercial deal to yt tipster..
TI is the worst kind of ignorant. He bought a word of the day calendar a couple years back, expanded his piss poor vocabulary, watched some people who sound smart speak on things, and now he thinks he’s intelligent. No one programmed people to dislike that man, he insulted people lol. He also said black women are scientifically not beautiful based on on psuedo science bs and told mothers not to believe their daughters when they say their father touched them. Even he said some good things and helped some people he was still a clown and people aren’t sheep for disliking him.
I see all the haters but just keep in Mina y’all that this man had well over 1.4 MILLION followers on IG will I guess those were just fake accounts not real followers huh. If he was so bad why did people follow him? I’ve watched several videos and he just spoke a harsh truth to both men/women. V Fix she made cause she still don’t have a man guess Mr. Samuels was speaking facts. White folks clown us all day and don’t nobody say SHIT. CRY BABY A$$
