T.I. Calls King Harris on His Generosity to Girls, Tiny and Fans Say the Son Is Just Like His Dad

King Harris told his mother Tiny Harris that he is buying gifts for a girl that he likes at school, and fans suspect he’s picking up that trait from his father T.I.

On Monday night’s episode of “T.I. & Tiny: Family & Friends Hustle,“ at the 19:25 mark, Tiny, T.I. and King had a sit-down conversation about King’s buying gifts for his girlfriend. Tiny brought up that the girlfriend’s parents were uncomfortable about King buying expensive gifts for their daughter. King told his parents that he bought his girlfriend two outfits. His father told him that that was too much.

T.I. continued in explaining his reasoning of why the gift was too much, “You just met this girl. What if she wears that on a date with another dude? You got no business buying that kind of stuff.” Tiny quickly responded, “You buy stuff all the time!”

Tiny then said in a confessional, “The apple don’t fall too far from the tree. King learned his gift-giving from his dad.”

Many fans agreed with Tiny that King is picking up from his father the bad habit of buying someone’s affection.

“Damn I hope T.I’s sons understands the wrong their father does and don’t treat their women the way he treats Tiny.”

“he act like his damn daddy, poor tiny”

Tip is frequently seen on the show buying Tiny gifts to make up for his wrongdoings.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
