There is indeed an abundance of talent within the Harris family. T.I. and Tiny aren’t the only ones in the family with musicality. Although they have the most widespread recognition for their expert singing and rapping abilities, the couple’s 26-year-old daughter, Zonnique, followed in her mother’s footsteps by becoming a singer. Their 21-year-old son, Domani, became a rapper like his father.
People were completely taken aback when they learned that Tip’s eldest son, Messiah, 22, was commencing his own career as a country music singer. Video of the event, which took place at Vinyl in Center Stage Atlanta, has now gone viral.
Under the stage moniker Buddy Red, Messiah dazzled the crowd with his electric guitar playing a blues-inspired song. He posted a video of himself performing his latest tune “When I Dream,” on Instagram, with an appreciative caption.
“Can you tell it’s my first live performance? You all made it feel so good being up there,” he pridefully said. “ I appreciate it very much. The song I’m playing is out right now,” he added.

Tiny also sent a congratulatory message for the Family Hustle star on his first gig on Instagram, reading: “Had an amazing time watching our son do his thang at his very first show!
I love how he got so interested in the guitar that he taught himself how to play; now that’s talent!” proclaimed the elated step-mother.
While Messiah, Domani, and Zonnique have been putting their skills to use, King Harris, the family’s second-to-youngest son, has been the focus of a different type of attention.
An incident that transpired between the young man, then 18 years old, and a member of the Waffle House staff made headlines earlier this year.
Several months later, he was taken into custody for reasons that are presently unclear, but he promptly posted bail. Tip addressed King’s shenanigans in front of the public and recognized that his son could face imprisonment if he continues to act in such a reckless manner as he has been doing.
