Rapper T.I. and wife Tiny‘s son King Harris was arrested he revealed on social media, amidst backlash from fans on Instagram, who called out the teen for “trying to be gangsta.”
On Wednesday evening, a mugshot began circulating online of King Harris, 18, with his companion in a followup video revealing they received a violation for not wearing a seatbelt, according to AllHipHop.

“Everybody that say n***** tryna be gangsta. I ain’t ask for the police to pull me over, y’all b******* a** n*****,” Harris wrote on IG after his arrest. “I’m bacc. F*** 12!! A lil minor set bacc fa a major come bacc,” he followed up in a separate Instagram post, accompanied by a photo of him putting up a middle finger.
The son of hip hop and reality TV royalty Tip Harris (T.I.) and Tameka Harris shot back at critics and seemed to brush the arrest aside in a separate ID post: “I’m bacc. F*** 12!! A lil minor set bacc (for) a major come bacc,” he stated, accompanied by a photo of him putting up a middle finger.
Commenters did not hesitate to call Harris out for his “privileged” upbringing, with one user telling the teen “bro, chill, you’re PRIVILEGED. (Not) that there’s anything wrong with that.”
“You’re PRIVILEGED bro chill, it’s nothing wrong with that,” one user wrote. “Boy, you is a suburban kid,” a second opined.
Another commenter noted “he wanna be “gangsta” so bad.” A third wrote “boy, you is a suburban kid.”
“He wanna be “gangsta” so bad 😂” one person said of Harris. “He a privilege kid that wanna be hard & know he can get away because he got money behind him,” another commenter wrote.
A different commenter added that the teen “knows he can get away because he got money behind him.”
Harris father has a net worth of $50 million, according to AfroTech, and Tiny holds up pretty well herself with an estimated net worth between $3 million and $5 million, per Celebrity Net Worth.
