A day that was supposed to be a significant celebration for Tiny Harris and T.I.‘s son, King Harris, has turned into a complete mess.
On the one hand, the teenager made his parents proud by graduating high school with honors.
While on the other, he brought shame to himself and his family by yet getting involved in a massive verbal brawl.
King Harris gets in dispute with Waffle House workers
In a video that King uploaded on social, he can be seen getting into a heated argument with employees at a Waffle House.
The young T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle star claimed that he was frustrated because they got his order wrong.
He told his Instagram followers that he was unhappy because someone added pickles to his food.
The 17-year-old son of Tameka Dianne Cottle Harris and Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. then proceeded to park his car and stormed through the restaurant to give the staff members a piece of his troubled mind.
King Harris explained that he was ready to fight and even pull a gun because of the pickle mix-up.
The high school student stated: “I’m ’bout to go in here and J down. They got me fucked up. Nigga think I won’t jump across that table. Aight. Watch this.”
Once inside the eatery, King Harris went into a profanity-laced tirade where he told the employees that he could say whatever he wanted because of his financial status.

The young artist pulled out a large amount of cash from his pocket and stated: “I can talk how the fuck I want to wherever I’m at. I’m on live, shawty. Stop talking to me.”
The situation escalated with the aspiring rapper telling one of the cooks: “My name is King. You know it and your mama knows it.”
One of the staffers hit back by telling King Harris that he could meet him in the restaurant’s kitchen and brawl.
King Harris, who looked like he was ready to lay some punches, went on to threaten the Waffle House worker by saying he would “pistol-whip him.”
King Harris concluded the exchange by demonstrating his toughness one more time and by telling the employee: “Wait till I come back late night– and it’s just you– and I slap you up.”
King Harris then rushed into his car and drove off. He appears to enjoy the idea of filming himself while in bizarre and troubling situations.
He turned the camera on in 2020 to film himself fighting in a school bathroom.
T.I. backs his son over Waffle House video
T.I.P., who was celebrating the happy news that King Harris graduated high school with honors, was forced to put out a video to explain and defend his son’s unruly actions.
T.I. said that he talked to his son after getting in a heated altercation with the Waffle House workers.
The father of 7 told his 14 million Instagram followers: “Me and his uncles, we were perplexed by his necessity to go back and forth with a short ordered cook.”
In a surprising twist, the rapper and actor went on to say that he was confused that his son decided to argue with a person who is below his wealth and fame status.
T.I. said: “Why engage with someone who is at such another level of life.”
The exemplary father concluded with these memorable words: “I had to explain to him…that when people are not living the way they hoped they would live… and here you [are] walking in with so much freedom and luxury, people are going to posture themselves a certain way.”
Fans slams Tiny Harris’s husband’s response to the controversy
T.I. was slammed for his handling of the matter. Many on social media say that he should have explained to his son that it is wrong to be disrespectful to other people instead of making excuses for him.
A person had this reaction to the businessman’s jaw-dropping words: “Sounds like he told his son to leave the “low income “people where they are at because they ain’t happy because they ain’t where he is at in life. This is sad. 🥴”
Another shared: “It doesn’t matter what level of life the cook is on. Everyone deserves respect. He could have addressed the issue respectfully, got it fixed, and carried on.”
The rapper-businessman has faced some trouble in the media in recent years.
