T.I.‘s son, King Harris, has shared that rapper Waka Flocka Flame has “hurt” his feelings by not responding to a text inviting him to his 19th birthday bash. On Tuesday (Aug. 8), Harris took to his Instagram Story with a video to express his feelings.
“It’s one ni**a that I’m hurt about, mane,” he began. “Sh*t done hurt me mane but it’s iight — ’cause I know how sh*t be. Waka Flocka. I reached out to Waka Flocka. Ni**a left me on seen. That’s crazy. But, sh*t man, maybe one day. Me and Waka come from the same side too so that sh*t crazy.”
Before the clip ends, King mentions that he might reach out to GloRilla to attend instead.

King is the 18-year-old son of rapper T.I. and Tiny Harris of Xscape. Growing up in the public eye as a star on his own family’s reality show The Family Hustle, the public has watched him grow through life as a teenager.
Back in January, T.I. spoke on some of his son’s unfavorable actions during an interview on the Club Shay Shay podcast, hosted by Shannon Sharpe. In the sit-down, the “Bring ‘Em Out” rapper addressed his son’s run-ins with the law, and negative criticism he’s gotten regarding his parenting.
“I have excellent communication with all my kids,” the father-of-six started. “I try to listen as much as I speak to them.”
Sharing how his son feels about being the offspring of famous parents, T.I. repeated King’s sentiments: “‘I just don’t want to be celebrities’ kid. I don’t want to live off of y’all’s success. I don’t wanna have to just be in y’all’s shadow.’”
“[King] wants a clean slate,” he shared. “I try to tell him he’ll never have that… You were born with it. You can’t give it back… I love him and I understand he has a strong sense of moral standards and integrity. As much criticism I received about my son, I would like to shed light on the fact – we all got bada** kids!”
“They can’t seem like I’m the only one on here who got bada** kids,” he added.
