Footage recently surfaced showing T.I. and Boosie Badazz giving their sons a talking-to for flaunting guns in a music video.
On Tuesday, September 24, newly-discovered footage made its way online featuring T.I. and Boosie Badazz confronting their sons for showcasing weapons on the set of a music video. The clip, believed to be from 2023 based on King Harris’s blue hair, has caught fans’ attention.
In the video, both veteran rappers express their disapproval. Boosie questions, ‘Why y’all always gotta have guns?’ and Tip follows up with, ‘What is it about the guns, man?’ Their concerns don’t stop at the appearance; they also worry about potential legal issues. Tip points out that the guns make them look disingenuous and could attract police scrutiny, leading to more trouble if permits are required.
The specific music video featuring King Harris and Tootie Raw hasn’t been released yet, and there is no word on whether it will ever see the light of day. Interestingly, both T.I. and Boosie have had their share of gun-related troubles in the past, adding weight to their warnings.
Boosie, in particular, has been re-indicted on gun charges in San Diego. Initially dismissed, the case was reopened less than two weeks later, charging him with possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon. Prosecutors are now doubling down, seeking to confiscate all firearms and ammunition involved.
Facing up to 10 years in prison if convicted, Boosie has not taken the re-indictment lightly. His reaction on social media has been fiery, reflecting his frustration with the legal system. The arrest stems from June 2023, when Boosie was detained after a separate gun case was dismissed in court. Despite prosecutors’ efforts to keep him locked up, he was bonded out and now faces re-indictment.
The footage of T.I. and Boosie Badazz confronting their sons serves as a stark reminder of the real-world consequences of glorifying guns. Their past experiences emphasize the gravity of the issue, making their cautionary words all the more compelling.
