T.I.’s Clapback at Fans for Disrespecting Wife Tiny Harris Backfires: ‘You Don’t Even Respect Her’

Rapper T.I. apparently reached his threshold of disrespect from social media users who continued to bash his wife’s appearance.

The “King” artist, his wife Tiny Harris and their children attended Nickelodeon’s 2019 Kids Choice Awards which aired live on Saturday evening. He shared a photo of himself and his family posing for a photo at the event with the Instagram caption, “Doing IT ALL for them at ALL Times✊🏽 #MyEverything #HarrisFam #KidsChoiceAwards.”

T.I.’s family quickly went left after fans noticed something was off about Tiny’s curvy frame. Folks accused her derriere of not “matching up” with her thighs.

“Oh no 🤦🏻‍♀️ She built like ant. Them legs sold separately 😂,” one taunter wrote underneath T.I.’s post, bashing his wife’s appearance.

Another added, “She built like a drum and flat 😂. She f–ked her body up look at her legs compared to her butt she need throw the whole surgeon away 💀🤢.”

“The thigh and leg ration don’t match 🤦🏻‍♀️ delete this,” someone else commented.

As the negative comments critiquing Tiny’s body continued to flood T.I.’s Instagram feed, he decided to share another post of himself, his wife and their 2-year-old daughter Heiress, blasting fans for speaking rudely of his wife under their family photo.

“Maybe this is a teachable moment… What do y’all really hope to achieve by coming on my page speaking ill of my wife under a picture of my family????” the rapper wrote. “WTF make y’all think I’m just gon let y’all Try ME & MINES? YALL GOT ME FU–ED UP SHAWTY… Be out here shaped like a whole 2liter Peach Faygo and got the nerve to make critical, disrespectful comments about MINES?!”

He continued, “I obviously love it and have loved it for over 18yrs now… IF YOU HAD A MAN WHO LOVED YOU AS MUCH AS I LOVE HER I doubt you’d be miserable enough to leave such hateful comments. Let’s not have this discussion again…#KingsThoughts.”

However, fans fired back at T.I. for indicating that they should respect his wife when he’s publicly “humiliated” her by “cheating with side chicks.”

“@troubleman you don’t even respect her 💇 cause if you did you wouldn’t be cheatin with all these side chicks,” one person hit back at the Atlanta native.

“I love me some TI but if he loved it for 18 years why humiliate her publicly with different women? Can’t expect ppl to respect what you disrespect! Take heed to you own words☝🏽💯!”

Fans appeared to be referring to T.I.’s latest alleged cheating scandal with “Greenleaf” actress Asia’h Epperson, whom he was caught with on camera smacking on the butt and kissing on the neck in June 2018.

Despite critics judging T.I. and his past, others commended him for standing up for his wife against cyberbullies.

“Now!! That’s how you read a Mofo!!! ☝☝☝ Thats right bruh guard your heart and protect your wife.”

“Real shyt hold down you and yours! Beautiful family ❤️.”

“All men should protect theirs like this… #respect 💯💯🙌.”

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.
