The always vocal Clifford Harris — better know as T.I. — is standing up for the late King Of Pop. In a recent Instagram post, the Hustle Gang boss made his case for Michael Jackson in the wake of the controversial HBO documentary, Leaving Neverland.
On Wednesday (March 6), T.I. shared a clip from an old interview Piers Morgan did with the pop legend.
Jackson said, “I would slit my wrists before I would [abuse a child]. I could never — ever.”
T.I. suggested the lives of white celebrities with a questionable past should also be dissected.
“Pierce Morgan a real one for this,” he wrote in the caption. “Let this man speak for himself to defend his legacy. Don’t just listen to one side and expect to find truth. Oh that’s right…Dead men can’t speak. So what was the point again? Destroy another strong black historical LEGEND?!?!
“It’s several examples of pedophilia in American History… if y’all pulling up all our old shit… we gotta examine ELVIS PRESLEY, HUGH HEPHNER,and a whole slew of others guilty of the same if not more!!! BUT WHY US all the time? There’s an agenda to destroy OUR CULTURE. #KingsThoughts.”
Jackson died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication at his Los Angeles home in June 2009 while he was still drowning in child abuse allegations. The HBO documentary — which aired over the weekend — centers around choreographer Wade Robson and James Safechuck who both accuse Jackson of molesting them as children.
Robson originally defended Jackson in court while he was still alive but changed course and attempted to sue the Michael Jackson Estate in 2013. The sex abuse case was ultimately dismissed in 2017.
I stand with King T.I. on this one!!
King? He’s been washed up for years. He lost his self given tittle years ago.
He’s losing his mind
So TIs logic is that since Elvis Presley has a past, it’s ooay for Michael Jackson to suck little boys off. Isn’t T.I. a confirmed snitch?
No. His logic is that ALL pedophiles should be exposed and disgraced. Including your beloved white celebrities (e.g. Presley, Hefner, and more), MAGA clown.
Ok that’s true. How does that change what Michael did to those kids. That’s all
Blacks ever do. “ what about this what about that” can never take responsibility for anything. The only race
That makes no sense. The lack of existence of a documentary about white celebrities does not mean that the black celebrities aren’t out here pedo-ing too. You can still ask “where are the elvis documentaries” without defending MJ. Is he defending R.Kelly and Cosby too? They’re alive but before the accusations came up they might as well have been dead because nobody was checking for any of them.
Oh get a fucking grip TI with the race card, there’s plenty of white celebrities that have also had this happen and I don’t recall anyone in hip hop giving a fuck about that. Man child or not, grown men don’t have sleepovers with children and expect it to not have consequences. If it was one of my kids I’d break his pencil nose.
First, MJ bleached his skin lol. Is he really a black legend? I think racists like T.I. want us to forgive MJ, because the majority of his molested victims were white little boys. I think the only one that was not was Jordie. I could be wrong, but MJ has a type and it wasn’t black boys! So TI wants him to be forgiven, because none of his own were harmed. Fuck T.I.! He’s always on the wrong side of every argument. This pussy is so fucking retarded and sucks on Obama’s dick he can’t even think straight. Oh, and his music sucks.
Instead of defending Michael Jackson why doesn’t T.I. use his millions and resources to make a documentary about Elvis, Hugh Hefner, and other famous white pedo’s activities. Just a thought. He works in media and if he’s so concerned he has the platform and the money to combat images and stories in our public consciousness he disagrees with.
This is the only good comment on this whole thread.
He knows he would be sued if he tried. You need hard EVIDENCE, not heresay and conjecture. None of those people (like MJ) were ever convicted of sexual abuse. Marrying a 14-16 year old 15 years ago was legal certain places if the parents signed off. Gross, but legal. Still, fuck TI, and you have an interesting point. HBO is getting sued hard by MJS estate. This will cost them TONS.
Fuck TI
T.I. is such an idiot blinded by race. He brings race into everything. So is T.I. saying he would have left his kids with Michael Jackson?
who gives a shit what ti wants hes a bitch too
Race doesn’t need to be mentioned. What needs to be mentioned is the biased as fk media pushing one side of the story.
Actually it does
Then why hasn’t the media pushed The other side of the story? Maybe because if doesn’t exist ? Have you wondered that maybe someone you don’t know completely is capable of lying and cheating to hide a sinister lifestyle.
There is the side that he was tried and acquitted, he was never convicted of a crime, and all of these idiots came forward 10 years after he died conviniently when there was a documentary being filmed, and a paycheck to be gained. Pedo or no pedo, this is criminal. He was tried and walked. Those two jackasses swore in open court, under oath, nothing happened.
There is no other side to the story? LMAO. That’s proof you are a sheep and have no idea.
Why is everyone saying t.i. playing the race card? He went hard on r kelly not that long ago fools
T.I. is a bitch. An ignorant, racist bitch
Not sure about TI but I think just because Michael Jackson says “I would slit my wrists before I would [abuse a child]. I could never — ever.” doesn’t mean he wasn’t a raging pedo behind the scenes.
This guy is anfucking moron. Noone has ever fallen off more than TI as soon as he opens his mouth. His social issues are confused he isnt sure what he is supposed to stamd for. We r talking anout a pedophile tip thisnisnt black or white go sit the fuck down before someone does it.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
“There is systematic racism in the US, and an unfair amount of obstacles for a black man to get ahead and be successful.” TI. He then hopped into his chauffeured Rolls Royce and is driven back to his 10 million dollar mansion for a meal prepared by his private chef.
huh? What does that have to do with the price of tea in china?
What? He is pulling the race card, moron. He’s saying dudes are laying into MJ because he’s black (sort of). They’re laying into MJ because of this victim ass environment we have found ourselves in, thanks to morons like T.I., Killer Mike and Jay-Z. The funny thing is, they pick and choose. T.I. is always talking about how hard it is for black people, systematic racism etc. Obstacles blacks have. Yet he is a millionaire from rapping. You are a bit dim, obviously.
Right, so where the talk and hype about all the white Catholic priests that have violated all these little boys that’s getting swept under the rug, right now? There’s stories of Elvis knocking down young girls, and lets not forget about the biggest “Playboy” of them all, Hugh Hefner. Right, the media and powers that be are highlighting our black greats “alleged” faults, but not theirs, right! Hightlight them all equally
Certainly you’re excluding James Brown and Chuck Berry. Priscilla said her and Elvis never had sex until she was 18, and every time they were together until she was 18 someone was present. He was never accused or charged with anything. There is not one incident of Hugh Hefner engauging in sex with a minor. He was never accused or charged. Just pull shit out of your ass buddy, that’s how arguments are formed in 2019
I never asked your opinion…don’t be disrespectful…thank you
The only topic T.I should ever have an opinion on is ratting…Or the best cheeses to buy…end of story..
His crimes are way much worse the R Kelly’s and people still calling him a legend and paying tributes! GTFOH!!!
They would’ve loved to convict Michael Jackson when he was alive. So after decades of investigation with no convictions and two separate trials we’re supposed to go in on him over these two???
