Rap tycoon T.I. Harris addressed a blatant lie that circulated on Instagram.com today.
The fraudster claimed the rapper and father of 7 was contacted about attending the funeral of JuJuan Latham, a 12-year-old Tennessee boy who died in a drive-by shooting. T.I. reportedly demanded $40,000 to attend the child’s funeral.
The rap mogul posted a response on Instagram, reminding his followers that he is very generous with his millions, and he has always given back to his community when called upon to do so.

But seriously this too funny, they know damn well T.I. would not charge someone for a funeral. Really people????
hey quetea?
?? hey hey!!!
even if he did charge, duh! he and other celebs belong to the devil, WHY the hell are you requesting his presence for?……that nigga aint Christ
Repertoire
they need to be concerned with why God allowed their son to die such a violent death…smh…worried bout t.i…..just stupid
Butterummm yeah I didn’t really believe this 40k story anyway.
RIP to the child.
anyways…what up peepuls!
They don’t know any better. We blame these misinformed and false leaders.
Didn’t see it before he addressed it, but I don’t believe this. He might got #TipLogic (credit Keya) but he generous.
I don’t know T.I. But I do know, when I read the headlines, that it didnt sound like anything I have ever heard about him.
His crew, his demeanor nor how he presents himself.
Lastly, what celebrity charges people to come to a funeral?
He’s sweet to people in need so I don’t believe that there. Lots can and has been said but I don’t belee that. Didn’t he just help someone recently.
…so Tammy just gone go to bed with a full face of make-up, huh?
Steebie nem could of stayed away and Tammy nem too.
What happened to their spinoff
Jose and Steebie couldn’t hold folks attention, theirs would be even worse if possible.

I haven’t watched Black Ink since season 1/2. Caesar and Dutchess still together? Never mind. They just kissed. It was hard to watch.
https://www.facebook.com/WilliamMunny707/posts/1287021421311948
?????
Yup.
??
LOL!!!!!
Go. NOW!
They’ve been together this whole time?
Naw too much of a light weight…I’d have liquor poisoning lol
I love plum…omg it smells like heaven and tastes like it too! Now you got me wanting to go to Total Wines…
Her mouth look dry huh?
In name only..he fuggs broads on a regular.
Off and on it seems, but pretty much yeah. They even engaged.
Dutchess rude. I just don’t like her.
I’m so sick of her pouting and poking out her damn lip!
Sky had her boobs done and they’re dangling like that?
Oh. No bueno
A guess a piece of man to some is better than no man
Gives Carolina girls bad name. I don’t either. Spoiled brat.
He been caught cheating. Dutchess is pressed.
Educated gal too. She just so insufferable.
Yeah they pretty loose and those nipples are the size of oatmeal cream pies…
NC A& T. Yep. Cum laude too I think. Smdh
Dies… lawd.
Just goes to show that you need both book smarts and common sense. Sad and a shame
Why did Sky have her feet and naked azz on those folks counter? I’d be pissed. I’d sue that hoe on Judge Judy to get my counter tops replaced.
They both crusty and dirty looking. I can’t watch.
Educated can’t save you from stupidity.
#ThingsBleachCantGetRidOf lmao. Yuck
Cuz she dirty….
Im dead. You just came right on in on some fukkery. Keya too. Lawd.
Folk are too comfortable on the counters doing this nasty ish.
Yes, I like her but that azz is dirty.
Ohhhhh shitzzz…Dutch finna come in and judge this new girl for fifth!!
Mind you its 10 times worse because of how unwashed they look.
I had missed ya’ll and what not!
You’re right and that bish had her feet on the counter. I don’t want you sitting on my counter? Your feet? I’ll take that azz out.
How her simple ass judging anyone is a mystery to me. Has she seen the man she choose to sleep with?! She might wanna shut up. Because there is nothing cute or sexy or clean looking about him. Breath smells like old blunts and dirty kitty litter
#WhenPeopleHaveNoHomeTraining
Agreed
Like she don’t own Blistex huh? Or even dollar store chap stick huh? (In my Juv voice)
For some reason she thinks she’s better than all of them, including Cesar. Clearly, you are the company you keep….
Yeah, just yuck
???
She thinks very highly of herself. I’m all for self esteem but bish your name may be Dutchess but you regala.
About Caesar?! You can’t help who you love
But why Puma teeth match his jacket??
I bet there are some sick “celebs” out there who would do such a thing, glad T.I. is not one of them.
Congrats to Melissa Harris-Perry on her new position as editor in chief at Elle magazine.
Kathy..
Oh sh#@t baby mama is a special. Fa real.
Tip can you help me finish my degree? ?
#ShortBusShawty

When they do, let the garden(me) know
Goes to IG comment section ?
Lol!

You asked, I answered. That was a hard one.
She gonna rock. Hard to go from TV to totally written. BUT she never stopped. Had column and freelance all along. I am rooting for her.
BRB
I think it was your delivery ????…

To even think of her alone is priceless … With your witty self! Lol!

#InCaseYouWasWondering
Lucy is lost ?
Wayment.
update: Did he just say eff Mo and the people who believe?
Hey Girl. About what you should be wondering about?
Wtf just happened with this game? Where my game? Go Dallas. I guess. Idgaf about this series. I’m sleepy as FAWK waiting on Warriors. Jesus.? might not make it.
Gn.
Night. These late night games got me all the way fugged up. Even my insomnia won’t let me just wait up.
Codes. Why don’t folks just say it. I mean they say, vid, capture, post everything else. Just say it dammit!
This!!! Normally I be like? watching. Tonight? ??
And dude got off early and is on his way. Nigga if you don’t get in this bed and hush and watch quietly. Cause he gonna be watching. Imma be watching my eyelids. He better STFU. He get to sleep til 1030. Tuh.
Me too
????
Yes won’t he do it.
Oh please Sandra, LOL, what a predictable response from you. Honey, T.I. doesn’t give a damn about his fans. How many times have we heard of T.I. going to a fan’s funeral? He didn’t even go to Michael Brown or Trayvon’s funeral. Or any other slain black male’s funeral. T.I. is full of shyt.
He’s like the rest of these phony ATL rappers: He gives out tax-deductible gifts such as turkeys, a cheap car, and an occasional home in a bad neighborhood–every now and then. This is mostly for publicity and Sandra shame on you–you know T.I. is not that generous with strangers.
Please stop carrying this fool’s water Sandra. Its so unflattering for you. And before you come for me, please know that I am a longtime industry veteran and a member of one of Atlanta’s most recognized African American families so save yourself the trouble of calling me a hater. I KNOW ATLANTA. And I know lots of dirt on these celebs in this city.
That said, there’s no doubt T.I. expected pay for his appearance. That’s totally in line with who he is as a person.
Game over at 1am. I have too many titles around 6am est required of me to just be up like??? <– rubbing my eyes like a kid ?. Behave, better yet you're a grown WOMAN.
That just woke me all the way up ????
Ummm, and how would you know? Some of ya’ll are so gullible. T.I.’s music is devoted to talking about drug sales and homicide. Who do you think its targeted toward? Black men.
And when these young men emulate T.I. and end up in jail or dead, he’s not mentoring them or supporting their families. He’s recording more music.
T.I. personifies so much of what is wrong with young black men today–and this nikka is damn near 40, still sagging, and barely literate. What a disgrace.
Its been about a decade since he had that awful gun charge. Remember, he was on his way to orchestrating a murder before the feds stepped in. And he has a huge audience that adores him and absorbs his music. MLK, Jr. must be turning in his grave.
And yet Sandra keeps telling us that a man in heels is bringing the community down. Its so ridiculous its laughable.
I wish they would keep they biz off social media
??
It went str8 Bankhead on em this time lol
.,.
One more thing, before Sandra bans me because an Open Post has no rules–unless you vilify the unholy trinity: Monica, T.I. and that be-weaved thing Tiny. There’s an old saying–there is a shred of truth in just about every lie. And often, there tends to be some truth in almost any piece of gossip. Is it likely that this rumor came about out of thin air? HELL NO.
T.I. probably enlisted one of his many flunkies to broker a deal for the $40K so please expect him to do something big for this slain child, and then claim someone made a cash offer without his knowledge. Its called damage control. Rest assured, if there was a cash offer–T.I. knew about it.
These comments ?. I should be sleep.
So is he saying he didn’t cheat?
Nutcase.
Jealous Melody work is better
I was disgusted. They tore that house up.
Her and Dutchess get on my nerves and Quannie.
???????
Puma don’t need to chase that. Like girl grow up.
Right
(Blk) people have become ridiculous. Who in their right mind started this shyt?
Bless TI’s heart he is a giver though!!! ?
The words “tycoon” and “mogul” are used so loosely today.
Let’s not forget his own words on tv when he was discussing his former beef with Lil’ Flip. “Pistol charge, dope charge, dope charge, pistol charge…” That’s not anything to be proud of, especially when so many Black males have targets on their foreheads because of illegal guns and drugs.
I remember reading an article years ago about T.I. buying residential property in disenfranchised communities and redeveloping those communities. I was surprised, but really proud to know that someone cared enough about people who don’t have a lot but deserve more. If we don’t/won’t help our own, we shouldn’t expect assistance from others.
The sad fact is, his subject matter as it pertains to his music undermines the good work he did once upon a time. He can go home to his mansion and feel safe, but the people supporting him are elsewhere – in areas where drugs, guns and other crimes have caused complete devastation.
…?
….?
Tommie needs to call the people responsible for posting mugshots online and have all 32 of her shits deleted. She always has something off-color to say about Tiara working, but Tiara is gainfully employed, supporting her gaggle of geese, staying out of trouble and not forging checks to pay her bills, unlike dusty ass KK and Tommie. For all of the crimes KK orchestrated, she should be able to afford human hair wigs, some good veneers and age appropriate clothing in her proper size.
Lol
I think he cut it. That hair makes him halfway look like a human being. If you thought he was ugly with it, you don’t want to see him without it. He is HIT.
Now, about Scrappy’s “modeling agency” with these BRUTIFUL women (he can’t pronounce music, either – MRUSIC)… I tweeted last week about how he claims to put women on, while he isn’t on. Then, this week, Bambi mentions how he couldn’t even put her on. I hollered!!!
RIP Doris Roberts. She was 90. ??
Lol right. He also has a house as well. This is a soap opera called lies and no hip hop Atlanta with criminals.
Lmaooooo
No Love & Hip Hop Craplanta. Fake relationships. Fake careers. Everyone is in the studio, yet no one is producing music that is on Soundcloud, more or less for purchase. It’s awful, yet I am glued to the damn tv between 8-9 every Monday because… ????
Me too but I’m not watching Miami lol I’ve got to draw the line somewhere.
I just found out about Miami yesterday. Why do I feel like that one may be the best franchise? Lol. I’m mad at how awful Hollywood is. Our LHH doesn’t even have real stars.
Hmph
WHY OH WHY DOES THIS BED FEEL SO WONDERFUL?? I DON’T WANNA GO! -SOBS-
I couldnt keep my eyes open
Yeah okay….giggles
I totally agree and I’m all the way in TX but I can smell BS a mile a way. Your assessment is spot on about T.I. He strikes me as an A hole with no F to give. Look at the receipts:
*He is always in the news trying to explain some type of “misunderstanding”
*His rampant cheating on his long suffering wife
* That cheap ass and tacky baby shower catering incident
*His God like complex by naming his children Messiah, Heiress, King etc..
So this little stunt is DEFINITELY in his wheel house. I think Tiny is stuck between a rock and a hard place dealing with that fool. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has threatened physical harm if she ever left him.
Okay, TIP. I wonder if celebrities charge a fee to speak at other celebs funerals. hmm
Don’t think he would charge but he ain’t goin…I don’t ever see Tip at those…ummm you know” black”functions.
Why would you have a rapper at your funeral anyway??? REALLY?!?!
It’s unbelievable what people will say; but we in the ATL knows how TI gives back to the community…ALWAYS! Which is another one of the reasons why we love and support him.
His song “You Don Know Me” was playing in my head while I was reading his response lol
Dear Shannon,
When trying to appeal to folks about your dyckly indiscretions, it is best to remain a little humble. You did well in following the rules of using only 1 profane word and not spelling it completely out and there is no exclamation point in sight (WELL DONE, GRASSHOPPER).
With that being said, you must always say THE LORD (all caps) has my back and that is all I need as it is not physically possible to have thine own back (unless you walking around with a review mirror……). And you must submit you comment, prior to your wife being show with a bad weave and no rang!!
#INCASEYOUWWASWONDERING…….we had already created our own versions of what happened, so we stopped wondering days ago.
Don’t worry though, this too shall pass, but just to be safe…..go find a job…..quickly or go get a long rap sheet (rap as in crimes, not the hip hop version)…..Word is Mo loves the bad boys!!
Hope this helps and you are welcome for the unsolicited advice, please let me know where to send Mo my bill (she paying for everything else, so…)
Sameolej
New post
This is the standard I cheated but refuse to admit it response. He should have remained silent. If anyone was wondering they now know he cheated with this textbook cheater response.
My boo thang would NEVER charge that!!
I tolerate all 3. Atlanta used to be my favorite, I now have none.
I really don’t believe TI would do something like this. I know there are celebs that would but I really don’t believe he is one of those celebs.
I believe him. TI is ignorant as all get out, but he has a kind heart.
Co-sign^^. Of course, what T.I. did was allow one of his flunkies to intercede in the money grab that way he can stand back and say it didn’t come out of his own mouth.
T.I. is as fake as a $3 bill and he has a very arrogant attitude. Anyone who knows him will tell you that. So I agree with your assessment that he thinks he’s “greater than”, and some sort of savior.
But who has he saved?
How interesting that no one is asking what the boy’s family has to say about this…
I know in late in this post. .but why would he attend anyway . …extremely sorry for their loss but why would you want a celebrity at a funeral….
Doesn’t even sound like something he would do…
i dont even know this man personally but hearing and seeing (on his show )what he has done for complete strangers. i laughed at this story before i read it come on sad someone lied on that man like that,now if they said Kanye west i would of believed it lol
Social media has really turned into a hot mess.
gullible? YOU SOUND STUPID with a ONE track mind. How do I know – dummie – how do you know he did! People like you, and those who follow you are incompetent idiots. TI like many others is speaking his TRUE lifestyle, it may be criminal it may be offensive to some BUT it is the ways of his childhood and many others! He is no role model and NEVER claims to be BUT is he a HUMAN being THAT ONLY GOD can JUDGE. You sound like a HATER, like TI can stop the violence IDIOT, can you?
Don’t come for me, cause you talking about stuff you don’t know JUST like you claiming I am. Spare me with your comments cause I don’t care to hear what your ignorant self has to say! If you listening to Sandra about a man in heels, than I got a man to talk to you about this bridge he selling!
#Celebrities are HUMAN!
Let’s get this part out the way: Who would request an entertainer at a funeral? Priorities be MESSED UP.
lmao at the unholy trinity…..
chile…. i guess auntie got CHECKED like an english paper but um let me remind her that this is an OPEN POST.
Lol
? Why would they even ask his presence there anyway? Did they know each other? ?. I think there’s a bigger problem beyond a celebrity presence at a funeral vs a solution to the random violence that’s plagued our hoods. I hope Little Ju Ju’s father was in attendance.
Not a dog gone soul. I forgot to add that he told us himself “If it aint about the money, don’t be blowing me up cuz I aint getting up”. ..so um yeah I totally see him requesting the 40k
Y invite a convicted felon to a funeral. He is no role model. Some blacks are uck up in the head.I bet somebody on T.I.’s team asked for the $ on his behalf and he was aware of it. I c this type of shty happens all the time. Send their wingman to do their dirty dealings so their so-call reputation stays intact. #smmfh #foh
Tip shouldn’t entertain this bullsh!t.
BEYONCE cept it would be 300K
I wonder did he use auto- correct to spell repertoire?
I couldn’t blame T.I. If he said no to a request to attend a funeral. I mean… Funerals are sad.
