T.I., an American rapper, has made headlines after being captured on camera arguing with an event promoter. T.I. and his 19-year-old son King Harris’ argument photos were allegedly employed to promote their R&B Wednesday. The occurrence occurred on Tuesday, November 28, 2023. T.I. can be heard on social media footage ranting at the event promoters, “You can talk to me. Nothing is going on until then. Nobody’s getting anything moving. Nothing! T.I. remarked, “You put me and mine on the motherf*cking flyer, give me everything, and if you can’t, don’t play with me.” He also chastised the promoter. All of this transpired just a few days following King Harris and T.I. allegedly got into an incident during a football game at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
T.I. pulled up on a club in Atlanta for using pictures of him and his son to promote a party they weren’t paid for:

T.I. Confronts An Atlanta Club For Putting Photographs Of His Alleged Scuffle With His Son On Fliers To Promote An Event
T.I. launched a fierce verbal assault on an Atlanta nightclub that featured images of him in a confrontation with his son on a brochure. This incident followed a widely publicized family feud. The rapper was observed at Elleven45 Lounge in the city, berating the venue’s staff for using the contentious photograph on their promotional material. In an audio clip, the 43-year-old can be heard instructing them to take necessary actions, asserting, “Contact who you need to contact, do what you need to do. It’s not going to happen.” He emphasized the lack of financial compensation, drinks, celebration, and reserved sections, demanding full treatment if his name is associated with an event. T.I. warned against playing with him, asserting his connection to the city.
The flyer in question portrayed the rapper standing behind his 19-year-old son King, seemingly choking him, referencing a recent video. It also included the provocative statement, ‘sing, sip, or get choked out.’ Following T.I.’s strong reaction, the promoters promptly replaced the flyer, and the event proceeded on Wednesday with a new version that excluded the controversial image, according to TMZ. Video footage of the confrontation between the rapper, Clifford Joseph Harris, and his son in a premium suite at the Mercedes-Benz stadium surfaced on Sunday night. The family altercation occurred during an Atlanta Falcons NFL game, where T.I. was performing for the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. The initially light-hearted banter turned heated when T.I. teased King about a ‘silver spoon’ upbringing, leading to a livestreamed exchange on Instagram. King, reacting to the taunting, disclosed that he did not grow up in his parents’ home but lived with his grandmother, further fueling the tension. The video of T.I. expressing his displeasure with the event organizers has gained widespread attention online. The promoters allegedly used a manipulated photograph of T.I. and his son in a headlock amid the escalating ‘silver spoon’ mockery during the Falcons game.

But he is right; if you want to use his image to generate buzz & money, they should pay him. People will pay to go because they believe he will be there, & everyone online will ruin his reputation for skipping an event he was not paid to be at.

It's important for artists to protect their image and brand. T.I. taking action shows the significance of respecting intellectual property and contractual agreements in the entertainment industry.

Idk LA has artists on their club flyers all the time and nobody expects the artists to show up— it’s moreso telling us the music genre to anticipate lol

I feel like for an artist of his calibre it is disrespectful to use him like that. His reaction is understandable, had you respected him you wouldn’t have done it
