T.I. and Boosie Badazz recently teamed up for some unexpected parenting after discovering their sons were planning to feature firearms in a music video. The two hip-hop icons took immediate action, delivering a stern lesson on the dangers of flashing weapons in their content.
Footage that surfaced on Tuesday shows T.I. and Boosie making an unexpected appearance on the set where King Harris and Tootie Raww were filming a video. Both rappers quickly expressed their disapproval, warning their sons of the potential consequences that come with displaying guns on camera.
In the clip, Boosie is heard questioning why the boys aren’t focusing on more positive themes, like making love songs. He tells T.I. how he had been impressed with their recent progress in music, only to be caught off guard by the violent imagery they were pushing in this particular video.
T.I., on the other hand, breaks down the serious legal risks involved. He reminds King and Tootie that police could easily show up to the set and ask to see permits for the guns—an encounter that could lead to a slew of legal issues if they’re not careful.
The footage, likely filmed last year when King sported his signature blue raspberry-colored hair, has not been released until now.
Ultimately, it looks like T.I. and Boosie’s tough love paid off. Their intervention may have saved their sons from a world of trouble, while also setting them on a better path in their music careers.
This candid moment serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of guidance, even in the unpredictable world of hip-hop.
