T.I. has spoken out following the numerous sexual assault allegations levied against him and his wife, Tiny Harris.
In an 8-minute video posted to his Instagram on Friday (January 29), the Atlanta native issued a response to the messages shared by former Glam Bar owner Sabrina Peterson from multiple women alleging they were drugged and assaulted by the couple at different times. Peterson herself also alleges that Tip pulled a gun out on her during a prior altercation.
In the clip, Tip explained why he hasn’t said much yet, despite the rumors going on for a few days.
“So as y’all could probably guess or imagine, it’s been extremely difficult for me to remain quiet in light of all the things that have transpired and all of the egregious allegations that’s been tossed around about me and my wife,” he began. “But it’s a reason for that, and I don’t mind sharing it. You see, if a person does not have any right to criminally or civilly have you in court, the best thing they can do is get you for defamation – a defamation suit.”
He continued on, stating that while women – particularly Black women – should be believed, this isn’t one of those instances.
“Unfortunately right now, it doesn’t matter as much what they can prove you did,” he explained. “It matters what you can prove you didn’t. And that’s just an unfortunate place that our society has made it to. But I wanna be clear about one thing – women who have been victimized deserve to be heard. Black women in particular should be supported, protected, defended and uplifted. However, evil has no gender! … I would never treat a woman the way I treat a threat. That has to be distinguished.”
He also went on to share posts from Instagram blog Industry On Blast, where they shared screenshots of alleged texts proving that Peterson made up the allegations.
The response follows a joint statement released to various media outlets where the couple denied all allegations.
“Mr. and Mrs. Harris want to be on record and more importantly want the public to know they emphatically deny in the strongest way possible the egregiously appalling allegations being made against them by Sabrina Peterson,” a spokesperson said in a statement obtained by HipHopDX. “The Harrises have had difficulty with this woman for well over a decade. They are taking this matter very seriously, and if these allegations don’t end, they will take appropriate legal action.”
I believe Sabrina! TI is a loud mouth idiot, and lap dog of the DNC losers connected to Keisha Lance Bottoms, the most corrupt turd in ATL. This is what happens when you have trash covering for trash, they victimize their own. None of this surprises me. It is always those who scream the loudest that are the most guilty.
??BITCH U STUPID
Shut up, hymen detective. Go Cosby some more ATL strippers w your troll wife.
Suck TI’s herrrp dik, Jonny
Jonathan is really Tiny or T.I. Total idiot molester.
DNC losers? LOL. The won control of both the house and senate, and have the president. LOL. TI is a fuckboy. You are too. Look up the word loser dumb dumb. They won everything possible to win. SMH.
I forgot to mention, if anyone has a pair of Donald Trump’s boots, I would love to lick them. Thanks!
That boot is stuck far up your loose booty. Sorry buddy. You ain’t the real Expeditiously got caught, nihgggg
Trump’s boot is lost in your loose booty. Go hopelessly devote your time to Joe ByDen the racist fool who called Kkkkkkkkk member of Senate Robert C Byrd his mentor and friend, idiot. Joe Biden said he doesn’t want his crackhead kids going to school w “jungle blacks”. Lol look it up. Trump ain’t your enemy, dumb Phuck, but you’re too dumbed down to understand that, floride welfare baby.
it probably happened. the alcohol the other drugs they fuel such behaviour. i have seen t.i. in concert he was very aggressive and wearing gang colours and about his threats, he would treat them that way? huh? well that’s a bit scandalous too. nobody wants a gun pointed at them and threatened nobody.
He just admitted to paying for sex, in his private bedroom around they childern.
Tip becare full, this how they start with r Kelly now look where he found himself, now they are coming for you and Dr Dre..
Dre is fine. He never bit the hand that fed him like this moron. Now TI is going to lose all
Of the money he’s been getting from a race he claims hates his kind. The irony is overwhelming.
Why especially black women?????? Some of the worst personalities I’ve ever come across … no one deserves anything … not because of your race … not because of your gender … no reasons whatsoever
He is always talking about racism this and racism that, then of course spits some ridiculous racist shit right there hahahaha. What a dummy.
Probably contributed to half of the STDs in Atlanta. Yuck.
Lol now Tip is the “Troubled man” , his past coming back to haunt him
Haha I have the popcorn out the chair pulled up for this one. Love watching the downfall of this little rapist, midget, pathetic pedohile
T.I. and Tiny have been exposed. Lol a lot of people know this in Atlanta, but never said much about young girls and drugs. Finally someone snitched on the king snitch himself. Chickens come home to Rooooost. Black man exploiting young black women and tricking them out. How sad, but what do you expect from a Democrat? No morals, loud mouth, and will always p I mp his own race out for $$$, power, greed and sex.
I really hope Tip get himself free of all the bullshit that occasionally attempts to attach itself to him and his career.
I really hope you disappear and stop promoting your horrible, garbage ass attempt at music. Obviously Spotify will let any hack post their shit.
I tried to tell you all about T.I. & young black Chyna, didn’t I?
Rob Kardashian told y’all about T.I. And young black Chyna. He p. I mp Ed her out. Tiny guilty too.
Fuck this weirdo ass mf and his ugly ass wife, always preaching to people but is a rapist behind it all smfh
If only they had campaigned for Trump and he had won. None of this would’ve mattered!
Had he just been quiet and not been bitching about fake ass shit he’s be ok. This moron is always chiming in on some bullshit that doesn’t affect him. Toma.
Unfortunately there are women in our mist that will lie exaggerate things for their own personal gain whether its money or whatever. I find it suspect as dhit that only after the work T.I. has been involved with that now these allegations surface i believe to quiet him.
Are you talking about the machine gun and silencer work that was his third felony I believe? That work? Or maybe shutting down a freeway with a bunch of morons because he says systematic racism exists, yet he is worth over 50 million dollars as a convicted felon and a black man, when 90% of the people at the record labels are white, and over 90% of the people who bought his music and made him rich are white? I also find it strange that he did only a couple of years for silencers and machine guns when he was already a convicted felon, when anyone of any color would have faced double digits. Let me guess, he had enough money to hire lawyers most people couldn’t afford? This guy is a hypocrite moron. Now his bullshit is coming back to bite him in the ass. I personally think (know) him and his wife take all kinds of drugs. I’m assuming these how’s that were down to fuck couldn’t hang and passed out, no one intentionally drugged or rayped shit most likely. Like most of these cops are killing multiple felons that are armed and not complying to police orders. Karma. He keeps trying to use long words while barely speaking English and making an idiot out of himself. Had he been an activist for prison reform, getting rid of mandatory minimums, and created programs to teach young people of color about risk vs. reward in crime, created avenues for people to get tech training and meaningful work without 4 year colleges and general studies (welding, truck driving, coding/creating websites) he would actually be helping. He wants to ride some bullshit BLM wave when he himself proves that very movement is bullshit. How was he not killed, how is he not spending life in prison? Now that Trump is out of office (thanks god) watch how no one gives a shit about any of that anymore. Great support for someone making things worse, dummy.
