T.I’s son King Harris responds to recent arrest

In a video posted by The Shade Room, the 18-year-old is seen sitting in a car after his release. Accompanied by a female friend, he goes over the violations they were slapped with.

King apparently had committed four violations while his friend only committed one – not wearing a seatbelt.

Replying to those who said he didn’t deserve to be arrested, King wrote, “Y’all right, We too rich fa da s**t! I agree.”

He also said that he didn’t want to get get into trouble.

“I’m sorry that a muthaf**ka caught me while I was on my way to vacation. I’m sorry, I thought I was doing what a young n***a was supposed to do. I ain’t wanna be in there.”

King then addressed those saying he’s trying to be a gangster. “Everybody that’s saying n***a tryna be gangsta. I ain’t ask for the police to pull me over,” he said.
