T.I. has hit out at a club promoter who used a promotional flyer to mock the fight he had with his son at a recent NFL game.
In a clip posted on Instagram, the rapper can be seen confronting the promoter for Elleven45 Lounge in Atlanta after the club used an edited picture of T.I. putting his son King Harris in a headlock. The father-son duo were scheduled to host the club’s “R&B Wednesdays” night.

In the video of the confrontation, T.I. can be heard yelling: “N-gga, 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!
“You put me and mine on the muthafucking flyer, n-gga get me everything. And if you can’t, don’t play with me. I don’t know if y’all from here, but n-gga don’t play with me in this city. It’s my muthafucking city. Don’t play with me in this city.”
The Atlanta rap legend also managed to get the music in the club cut off and threatened to keep turning up until his face was removed from the flyer.
In a twist, the club put out a new poster showing a smiling T.I. and King. According to TMZ, the “R&B Wednesdays” event went ahead without a hitch, with T.I., King and the rapper’s other son, Domani, in attendance.

Tip later issued a statement to XXL addressing the incident, saying: “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.”
On Sunday afternoon (November 26), T.I. appeared to get into a heated argument with King that was captured on video during the Atlanta Falcons-New Orleans Saints game.
The Grand Hustle honcho had performed as the Falcons ran onto the field, and the row appeared to come from King proclaiming that he did not grow up privileged despite being the son of a multi-millionaire entertainer.
T.I. took issue with the comments and the argument grew physical as he put his 19-year-old son in a headlock. King managed to record most of the incident himself and streamed it on Instagram Live.
