T.I. is fighting back after TMZ ran an article about his sister’s cause of death. A Fulton County Medical Examiner determined Precious Harris died “from cocaine toxicity which aggravated hypertensive cardiovascular disease (high blood pressure).”
But apparently Tip wasn’t pleased with TMZ’s headline, which boldly stated she died of a cocaine overdose. He believes it tarnishes her legacy.
On Thursday (June 6), the Hustle Gang boss took to Instagram Live to express his disappointment in TMZ founder Harvey Levin, while simultaneously calling for a TMZ boycott.
“And as long as you’ve known me Harvey, I’ve been respectful, I’ve been cordial, I been polite, I been kind, I been fair … you just burned that bridge,” he says in the video. “I hope your story was worth it. You just burned a bridge. To not just me, but everybody around me. All my family. Anybody who stand wit me, anybody who stood wit Precious … will not stand wit you.
“That go for the Deltas [sorority], I need all ya’ll, stand the fuck up, ok? That go for all the children in the communities that she taught, she mentored, ok? That go for all the generations, from 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s.”
The medical examiner’s report also indicated Harris’ high blood pressure led to an abnormal heart rhythm, which disrupted the blood flow to her organs. Harris also suffered from a number of ailments such as chronic lung disease, kidney disease and diabetes.
Simply put, Harris wasn’t exactly in the best of health prior to her passing.
T.I. later shared a photo of his late older sister with text that read: “prettiest angle up there & that’s period.”
In the caption, he added, “Rest Well Lil Sis…WE GOT U!!! Weapons may form… But They WILL NOT prosper. Not Today!!!! U were too good to too many for US to let any hurt harm or danger come to you or your legacy. #LongLivePrecious.”
TMZ has since updated their article with a new headline that reads in all caps, “T.I. POSTING SISTER’S CAUSE OF DEATH INAPPROPRIATE AND WRONG.” The article goes on to praise Harris for her selfless dedication to others and her many philanthropic and humanitarian initiatives.
Throughout her life, Harris mentored children and young women in need, severed as an ambassador for Saving Our Daughters (a nonprofit created by parents Curtis and Debbie Benjamin who lost their child to a brain tumor) and helped feed the homeless through her work with Hosea Feed the Hungry in Atlanta.
TMZ ended the article with, “We got this wrong and we regret posting the M.E.’s findings.”
Harris passed away in February following a car accident. She was 66.
But was what TMZ said true did they lie??? The fuck then eat that shit like a man and stop crying…. thats some celebrity privilege shit he need to stop. If you listen to his music he do coke 2 now he embarrassed… i like T.I. but aint nobody bout to be mad at TMZ for telling the truth for once… maybe because of some of the lies they told… lol cause they do be lying.
Whwre does he say that in his music?
If you read between the lines… one song he talked about his friend snorting but he later found out it was heroin and NOT cocaine as if it was better… i dont have all the footnotes im just going off of what i heard over the years. Its been many lines he spit. Dont get me wrong i LOVE t.i.p (no homo) but we gotta call a spade a spade if its true tmz shouldn’t be apologizing and he need to take the truth like a man
TMZ didn’t need to publish her cause of death, but they always tell everyone people’s private info. He expected them to suddenly act with a sense of humanity? Also TI been a clown for years now.
facts are facts. ironic cuz he promotes it
T.I. fell off over 10-15 years ago. He has become a SJW when it’s in his interests. His sister had a slew of health problems. Coke killed her. The headline was accurate. Is he mad at the coroner? Fucking weirdo. Anything for attention. No one stands behind this idiot. Silencers and machine guns, talking about BLM, and inequality when he’s worth 50M.
They put the cause of death up for every star that die.
This website needs a damn editor. How the hell you spell angle instead of angel, severed instead of served, and run with it.
This dude is so weak. Bitch you rap about the Trap then when your Blood get high off you own supply want to be mad. Respect the G code homie and get your money right!!
BSV Blood Gang!! 63rd and Bronson
You’ve changed the letters and cross streets of your made up gang several times now. Cosplay jackass. Bloods are from L.A.. period. Idiot.
Lol ?
Bitch stay off nuts and my comments before I slap your mother and fvck your sister.
Theres a lot of losers on the net but you take the cake. False flagging internet gangsta. Gtfoh.
Uh oh, TMZ just burnt a bridge with TI….is this the beginning of the end? TI was so much easier to digest when he was a good rapper, now that he’s not…he’s like a little gnat that won’t leave us alone
TMZ should tell T.I. to go suck a fat dick. Who listens to this crybaby pussy’s music anyway? He makes his money taking it up the ass for the DNC now. T.I. Is an illiterate moron with his fucking ‘90s Ebonics. Who the fuck was his sister anyway? Never heard of her. Sorry she passed, but if it was coke, then now he knows how it feels to be exploited by the media. Get use to it, punk. They do it to everybody. You aren’t special.
I don’t even go on the TMZ website, but I’m gonna start giving them some traffic to spite TI lol.
Facts are TIs worst enemy lol. What’s he so mad about? Ita factual. Ti is perhaps one of Americas most vocal SJWs. Why is it always the gangster rappers thay are the biggest pussies ever?
I’m confused. I thought she got killed in a car wreck or some shit.
Anyway, I don’t what he mad about. Your sister was doing dope living that Black Hollywood life. Harvey is a shit stain, but that ain’t his fault.
Silent_Partner your ignorance is showing. “Black Hollywood Lifestyle”… because poor people don’t do drugs? “Average” (lower and middle class) white people aren’t in the middle of their own opioid crisis? Right
Black Hollywood lifestyle? I can’t stop laughing. You made my day. More like Hollywood if you were to hide your ignorance.
TI is a herb who’d ask to “speak to your manager”.
r.i.p.
Funny that this clown thinks it’s not his sister who tarnished her own legacy by going to a night club to have male strippers slap their dicks on her forehead and overdosing on cocaine that she sniffed from under their balls, but it’s TMZ that reported on it that tarnished something. Somebody slap this 4’3″ manlet with a rubber dick.
Man. Just imagine for a sec as a human. Not black or white or a man or a woman. With all she did according to the article, cocaine overdose and a male stripper incident should tarnish her legacy? Damn. Then life is not worth living. Do you know what powerful people do in their free time that doesn’t always result in death but it’s way more negative? I’ve never touched cocaine and never would. Not for me. But sometime be a human first before talking. If everything should be brought to light, just imagine your image.
You do know that crack is cocaine too? I’m fairly certain she wasnt doing coke powder but smoking crack. That’s what black people love doing, hitting that glass dick.
Silent_Partner your ignorance is showing. “Black Hollywood Lifestyle”… because poor people don’t do drugs? “Average” (lower and middle class) white people aren’t in the middle of their own opioid crisis? Right
Crack is wack!
I’m guessing she had a different mother cause she’s like 30 years older than him.
FK TMZ. Anyone who works for them or in their field is a worthless piece of shit.
TMZ is full of shit anyway, like ive always said people make negative shit famous,
if you ignore it, it will disappear, but people keep feeding it attention!
TMZ is forever demonizing a black death. They dig into their finances and any other negative story while praising the others or hiding the real cause of their death. I’ve been done with them along time ago.
So they’re a celebrity gossip site? Is that what you’re saying? Stop acting like tmz is any different to black people than anybody else…you’re literally a fucking moron if thats what you see from tmz. TI is a celebrity…a loud one at that…so anything related to him is news in the celebrity gossip world. Your inability to correctly perceive what is in front of you makes me feel bad for you…try to have a good day
true about TMZ but why is TI boycotting now? should’ve been boycotting since the first instance of demonizing black death.
This boycott is gonna work as well as the Gucci one. Good luck Tip.
Don’t do drugs.
you only want to boycott if something bad happens to you or someone you know. what about the other stuff?
You must have been asleep for the last couple of years. T.I. has been showing up in cities every time injustice happens, or if he feels a boycott is called for.
Hahahaha. Showing up in cities? You’re an idiot. Instagram isn’t a city. You’re talking like this hypocrite dindu cares. Machine guns and silencers talking about BLM, he also is always whining about racial injustice and how the black man doesn’t get a fair shake, when he is worth over 50 million. Please eat a bag of dicks, and no cheese in my whopper please. It’s the white mans fault that you ditched class and where high all day they high school. It was also someone else’s fault that your mom fucked your loser dad who ran out on her. Moron. Keep filling those prisons.
Sounds like she was hitting that glass dlck
When a white man compliments a white woman = #MeToo – When a black woman has sex slaves (aka strippers) its “kosher”.
The Champ fucked your wife. You are annoying. Jim Jones wants another rapper to tel him to stop wearing Gucci and you aint going to say shit. Stop with your boycott bullshit.
