T.I. is no stranger to the rough streets of Atlanta but at 40 years old, the married father of six and community advocate clearly doesn’t want to see violence in his city of Atlanta.
Following the death of Chicago rapper King Von, who was shot and killed outside of an Atlanta hookah bar on Friday (November 6), Tip issued a public service announcement to his Instagram page.
“Atlanta is a beautiful city filled with black excellence,” the text reads. “We uplift each other & win together. Stop coming here to kill each other. That shit is played out. Management.”
The Hustle Gang boss added in the caption, “Handle YOUR beefs in YOUR city. Thx in advance. – King.”
Investigators told the Atlanta Journal Constitution gunfire erupted outside of the Monaco Hookah Lounge in the early morning hours of November 6 after two large groups of people got into an altercation.
It was the second shooting at the hookah bar in a span of 24 hours. On Thursday (November 5), two people were wounded during another incident, but investigators have no evidence it was related to the King Von shooting, according to Atlanta police Deputy Chief Timothy Peek.
Peek said bullets were flying in multiple directions across the crime scene, which he described as “pretty chaotic.” Two off-duty police officers and one on-duty officer attempted to intervene but weren’t injured.
“The officers did shoot, but we want to ensure we look at the evidence and be able to prove who did what,” Leek said. “That’s why we are dependent on the GBI.”
King Von Reportedly Dead At 26 Following Atlanta Shooting
Von was one of five people hit and originally taken to Grady Hospital in critical condition where he later died from his injuries. The November 6 shooting was the 82nd officer-involved shooting the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been asked to investigate in 2020.
In 2014, Von was charged with murder following a triple shooting that left one man dead in Chicago. He was ultimately acquitted following more than three years in jail.
Lol but ATL is full of ish low life’s. TI stop kidding yourself.
I don’t really agree with Tip about much but I think he’s right about this one. Chicago needs to handle its own business on its own territory.
Wasnt half those guys “handling their beef in their own city” though?
No, they’re from Savannah.
Wasnt Clifford in a highly publicized public brawl with Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas? Is that his city?
Wasn’t played out yet at the time. Wake up cuzzin dozen
Yeah but ain’t nobody die
You mean a bunch of people fought with their hands and didn’t have to pull out guns?? LOL
Huh?
Sick of all these guys calling themselves ‘King’… there is only one king, my good brother Elvis Presley!! Ah-Huh-Huh
TIP can catch one too, just like he got his ass knocked out looking for Flip in Cloverland
Why is T.I. always talking like he’s an OG or something? #crimestoppers
Boy U lame….
Tip is an OG you lame ass. Quit talking shit on your phone in the safety of your parents nice house????
Yeah. ATL don’t want that murder shit. They just want that gay shit. Lol
I never been to Atlanta but I imagine every other person there is either a wanna be rapper or singer or producer like the gas station employees when you go thru the Mcdonalds drive thru all the uber drivers you know the real rappers
If you ain’t been to Atl take stankonia off your name . Also don’t hate on something you no nothing about, you sound stupid!!!
Stop coming here to kill each other. We already do that in the trap.
