T.I. and Tinyâs son, King Harris, opened up about his living situation while featured on his familyâs reality TV show. The 19-year-old said the show didnât portray his reality, as he lived at his grandmotherâs house then.
âWhat do you feel like they got on you that they shouldnât have on you?â Funny Marco asked Harris during an episode of Open Thoughts. ââCause I feel like with them probably seeing you grow up, they just got like you canât be you.â
After taking a sip of water, Harris replied, âItâs a lot about that TV show that got people confused because I lived with my grandma, you know â weâll go to the house on like a weekend.â
Harris added that he would only visit his parent’s house to shoot episodes of the TV show.
âTheyâll say, âHey, we shooting today we need yâall at the house,ââ he added. âTheyâll come get me from my grandma’s house, and right after we done, when them cameras go off, Iâm right back at my grandma house.â
Harris and his five siblings grew up in front of cameras as part of the VH1 reality TV series T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle. The show first aired in 2011 and ran for six seasons. It is presented as giving viewers an âintimate look into the domestic livesâ of T.I. and Tiny as they work together to ânavigate parenthood and their careers,â according to VH1.
Last March, Harrisâ sister, Zonnique Pullins, opened up about her mother, Tiny, not being as present as she would have liked in her childhood.
âI would say what hurt me is honestly my mom being with TIP all the time. Like even now, today, thatâs how it is. Theyâre just tied to the hip,â she said in an interview. âItâs like theyâd rather go places with each other, so any time she gotta go, he gotta go.â
âI donât hold that against her that she was on the road and doing all those things. I guess I would have liked to have those mommy-daughter moments, but honestly, now that Iâm a mom, I guess thatâs what I would have wanted with my daughter,â she added.
