The mother of four took to her Instagram and wrote, “Our son @the_next_king10 would not let us rest if he didn’t get to go to Miami to say his goodbyes & pay respect in person to his favorite artist @xxxtentacion where he met his beautiful mother @cleo_ohsojazzy & @jordans_n_diamonds & now he’s taking trips to visit them! Thx for being so kind to my baby 🙏🏽👑❤️💯 #LLJ.”

Fans were in “aww” over King’s sincerity and commended T.I. and Tiny for raising their son well.

“This is beautiful..May God continue to bless this young kings fam&friends🙏🏾🙌🏽..That was very sweet of King,” one fan wrote.

Another person added, “This young man is such a blessing he’s gonna go so far… Tiny and [T.I.] you have both done an amazing job with him 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 God bless you.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
