After a heated back-and-forth with comedian Lauren Knight following Knight making a joke about the sexual abuse allegations against T.I. and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, Tip and Knight appear to have made amends.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday (April 6th), T.I. wrote, “I’ve said from my entrance into the world of comedy that I intend to use my light to shine on others. To bring awareness to those who also have love and respect for the art form. In the spirit of that… Everyone I’d like to introduce you to @sheslaurenk she’s a young up & coming comic on the scene in Atlanta check her out.”
Tip added, “She’s a young black women fighting to use her voice for laughter & I understand that may take us down dark roads at times but there’s always an opportunity to find a beacon of light & produce a positive outcome. As i say all the time… all ships rise with the high tide. May she use whatever fame & notoriety she receives for good. I wish you the best & hope you bring the world more joy & laughter with the light you receive. I’ve done my part here… moving on.”
As previously reported, T.I. went off on Knight during a comedy show in Atlanta, using profanity and also snatching the mic from Knight afte she had the sound from Tip's mic cut off.
He also said he'd pay her $1 million if she could prove that he called her a “b*tch,” which she did.
