T.I. caught a lot of heat Monday for speaking out against the violence in Atlanta in the wake of Chicago rapper King Von’s death.
Many felt Tip failed to read the room and perceived his message to be about Von’s recent murder, which happened Friday in downtown Atlanta.

“Atlanta is a beautiful progressive city filled with black excellence. We uplift each other & win together. Stop coming here to kill each other. That s**t is played out. -Management,” the message read.
After being called out by Von’s sister, who accused T.I. of cheating on his wife Tiny, and other associates of King Von, it appeared Tip got the message and decided to clear the air.
