T.I.’s Son King Harris Faces Backlash for Recording Homeless Man’s Risky ‘One Chip Challenge’
3 min read
T.I.’s son, King Harris, has come under scrutiny for paying a homeless guy to participate in the “One Chip Challenge,” disregarding the fact that the extremely spicy tortilla chip at the centre of the social media trend was taken from stores at the manufacturer’s request following the tragic passing of a Massachusetts teenager. In a recent social media video, King Harris offered a homeless man $50 for eating a Paqui chip. He informs the man that if he doesn’t drink water for five minutes after eating it, he’ll pay up the money. However, the man misinterpreted the guidelines and grabbed a bottle of water soon after eating the chip. Despite his pain from the heat, he persevered with the task as Harris and his pals laughed at his antics.
“It becomes harder with that water in ya hand,” King Harris stated to the man.

“You’re bound to lose if you drink it.” The man eventually succumbed and drank the water as Harris and his friends declared victory. Despite losing the competition, the 19-year-old rapper donated a $20 consolation prize. Fans, on the other hand, took to his latest Instagram posts to criticise King Harris’ conduct. The family of Harris Wolobah, an adolescent from Massachusetts, blamed his death on the “One Chip Challenge.” After being summoned to Wolohab’s residence on September 1, police discovered him “Unresponsive and not breathing.” It is believed that the kid ate the chip at school before collapsing at home.
T.I.’s Son, King Harris, Is Getting Backlash For Paying A Homeless Man To Participate In The “One Chip Challenge”
King Harris has received some criticism over a video he recently posted on social media. The 19-year-old rapper is shown in the video proposing to pay a homeless man to complete Paqui’s “one chip challenge.” For those who are unfamiliar, the challenge is eating a highly spicy chip and then waiting as long as you can before drinking anything. It became a fad earlier this year, with many people documenting their responses to the spicy chip on social media. However, things recently took a terrible turn when one adolescent died immediately after swallowing the chip. Based on reports, the 14-year-old had complained to his nurse at school regarding a stomach ache and died that evening in the hospital. The exact cause of death has not been determined, however, the boy’s mother alleges he died as a result of complications from eating the chip. Fans are already criticising Harris for attempting to pay the homeless man to do it, with many considering it exploitative.
Harris is heard promising the man in the video that he will pay him $50 if he eats the chip. He examines that in order to fulfil the challenge, he must spend five minutes without drinking anything. The man swallows the chip and appears to be in pain. He grabs a bottle of water handed to him nearby, but Harris refuses to take it. As the man tries, Harris and his cronies all stand about laughing. The man eventually drinks the water before the challenge is over, and Harris claims to have paid him $20 instead of $50. Numerous people have criticised the film, arguing that it is cruel and demonstrates a lack of empathy. “He simply said yes since he was truly in need of the money,” claims one user of the individual who ate the chip. ” Particularly after what transpired with the young man, yet he still conducts this heinous stunt?” says another.
