T.I. Sets The Record Straight On Debate Over Viral Bald Spot
Recently, T.I. pulled up to the ‘Streetz Morning Takeover’ radio show and spoke on the viral clip making rounds online that shows a man taking off his hat and revealing a noticeable bald spot. Fans instantly assumed it was T.I. based on the man’s build, complexion, and even his hairstyle. Things only got messier the moment the man’s hat came off and T.I.’s ‘Swagger Like Us’ track started blasting. Now, the rapper is clearing the air and shutting down the rumors. T.I. flat out said he’s never popped out without his ceiling missing, saying, “The devil is a lie.” Still, after peeping the clip, the Atlanta hitmaker admitted he “went straight to the mirror” just to double check.
But even with all of that, he said he thought the clip and jokes were funny. “It’s comedy, I laughed. It wouldn’t be funny if it was true.” He added, “I didn’t even respond to it, I just took my hat off and walked around.”
From there, the ‘What You Know’ emcee doubled down, saying moving forward he wants folks to use some discernment and realize that not everything you see on social media is true.
“Discernment would say that, ‘the person I’ve grown to know as T.I.P I can’t see him in the house, let alone on stage like this and if that were true.’ He continued, “Then this ain’t the person that I’ve grown to know.”
