Domani Harris has stepped up to the plate to defend his brother King against the recent onslaught of bad press the younger Harris has received.
T.I.‘s second oldest son stopped by The Baller Alert Show on Saturday (December 2) to share some insight following his brother’s recent viral video, in which he was seen getting violent with his father and mother, Tameka “Tiny” Harris.

“I think everything King is trying to say is coming off … he’s using the wrong words, I feel like,” Domani said. “What was on TV was not what actually happened. And I think he’s trying to say that because people are trying to treat him differently.”
He continued: “I don’t think he’s out here just saying it out of the blue. We’re all livin’ our own lives. He’s got his own thing going on. I don’t know what be goin’ on with him.”
Back in October, King first revealed that things weren’t as they seemed on his family’s hit reality show, T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle, which ran on VH1 for six seasons.
“There’s a lot about that TV show that got people confused,” he said. “Because I live with my grandma. We’ll go to [T.I. and Tiny’s] house on like a weekend. They’ll say, ‘Hey we shooting today, we need y’all at the house.’

“They come get me [at] my grandma house. And right after we done, when the cameras go off, I’m right back to my grandma house.”
The brothers now seem eager to distance themselves from the now-viral incident, as evidenced by recent their collaboration — a song which finds King and Domani paying homage to their dad and the ways in which he’s shaped who they are.
“Father Like Sons” arrived via a Complex premiere on Wednesday (November 29) before hitting streaming services on Friday (December 1).
King kicks off the piano-driven tune seemingly defending some of the recent antics that have generated headlines around his name.

“This shit just run in the family, I ain’t capping, n-gga/I got that side of my pops, I ain’t acting n-gga,” he warbles. “There’s a hating ass n-gga that want me dead.”
Domani takes the baton: “Stunt like my daddy, cool like my daddy/Running from it for a while but I’m just so much like my daddy/Can’t ignore it no more.”
