T.I. Goes Off On Charleston White For Threatening His Son King
Twitter, Instagram Block Kanye West Over Antisemitic Posts
T. I. is the latest rapper to get into a war of words with Charleston White after the YouTube personality threat- ened his son, King Harris.
In an Instagram Live video earlier this month, White — a former gang member who has also clashed with Soulja Boy — ridiculed King and his friend Tootie Raww, the son of Boosie Badazz, for being ar- rested in September.

claimed both teens are destined to wind up in jail and neither of them know how to fight having lived “sheltered” lives. He also referred to King, whose mother is T. I.’s wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris, as a “yellow-haired freak.”
King Harris responded in an Instagram Live broadcast of his own, during which he threatened to beat up White and claimed he the Texas native
T.I AND CHARLESTON WHITE
NEW YORK (AP) — Kanye West once suggested slavery was a choice. He called the COVID-19 vaccine “the mark of the beast.” Earlier this month, he was criticized for wearing a “White Lives Mat- ter” T-shirt to his collection at Paris Fashion Week.
Now the rapper who is legally known as Ye is again embroiled in controversy — locked out of Twitter and In- stagram over antisemetic posts that the social networks said Sunday violated their policies. In one post on Twitter, Ye said he would soon go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,” accord- ing to internet archive records, making an apparent reference to the U. S. defense readiness condition scale known as DE- FCON.
“You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball any- one whoever opposes your agenda,” he said in the same tweet posted late Saturday, which was removed by Twit- ter.
The comment drew a sharp rebuke from the Anti-Defama- tion League, which called the tweet “deeply troubling, dan- gerous, and antisemitic, pe- riod.”
“There is no excuse for his propagating of white suprema- cist slogans and classic anti- semitism about Jewish power, especially with the platform he has,” a statement said.
Representatives for Ye did not return requests for com-
a “soft upbringing.” “Charleston White, you’s a
b--tch, boy!” the 18-year-old said. “We about to whoop yo ass when you come back down here from telling. I can see you had a soft upbringing.”
After being alerted to Charleston White’s com- ments, T. I. inserted himself into the spat on Monday (Octo- ber 10) and told the outspoken
YouTuber to “come deal with the daddy.”
“I’ll spare no expense on your ass ’bout mine. Give a f--k about no police, I’ll do all my time, n-gga,” he warned on In- stagram Live. “I got family who are willing to risk their lives and freedom to die ’bout me and mine. Don’t f--king play with my muthaf--king child ever, n- gga.

Ye has alienated even ardent
fans in recent years, teasing and long tinkering with al- bums that haven’t been met with the critical or commercial success of his earlier record- ings. Those close to him, like ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her family, have ceased publicly defending him after the couple’s bitter divorce and his unsettling posts about her recent relationship with come- dian Pete Davidson.
But the social media lock- outs cap a whirlwind week for Ye, even by his standards. On Oct. 3 he wore a “white lives matter” t-shirt while debuting his latest fashion line in Paris, prompting harsh criticism. Ac- cording to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups, white lives matter is a neo-nazi group.
