T.I. Goes Off On Club Promoter Over Controversial Flyer Depicting His Son’s Fight

Atlanta’s Elleven45 Lounge recently found itself in hot water with rapper T.I., who took issue with a promotional flyer that made light of a recent altercation between him and his son at an NFL game. The incident unfolded as T.I. and his son, King Harris, were slated to host the venue’s “R&B Wednesdays” night.

In a video posted on Instagram, T.I. is seen confronting the club’s promoter for featuring an edited image of him placing his son in a headlock. The rapper can be heard emphatically stating, “N***a, you can talk to me. Until then, ain’t nothing going. Ain’t nobody getting nothing going. Call who you need to call, do what you need to do. Ain’t nothing happening — no money, no beers, no partying, no sections, nothing!”

Asserting his authority, T.I. insists that including his image on the promotional material warrants compensation. He adds a stern warning, particularly to those unfamiliar with the city, “Don’t play with me in this city. It’s my muthaf**king city.”

In a bold move, T.I. successfully halts the music in the club and threatens to escalate the situation until his image is removed from the flyer. Subsequently, the venue released a new poster featuring a smiling T.I. and King. Despite the initial tension, TMZ reports that the “R&B Wednesdays” event proceeded smoothly, with T.I., King, and the rapper’s other son, Domani, in attendance.

Addressing the incident later, T.I. emphasized the importance of principles, stating, “Let’s not miss the point with all the entertainment. It was the principle that was important here. S/O to the club owners for doing what’s right. Family is Forever & Business is Business…Long Live OG Clay.”
