T.I.'s Son Pursues Rock Music
A viral note highlights that T.I.'s lesser-known son is pursuing rock music, potentially "Lenny Kravitz-ing" 50 Cent according to social media commentary. The post exploded to 4,800 likes and 469 reposts, sparking discussions about hip-hop artists' children exploring different genres.
The son in the spotlight is King Harris, 21, who performs musically under the name Kid Saiyan. His style is primarily trap and melodic hip-hop, with his latest EP being "Be Ready." While he has embraced a "rockstar" image at times, his music to date has remained within the rap genre. The "Lenny Kravitz-ing" 50 Cent comment stems from a recent and public feud between the two rappers. King Harris released a diss track titled "Made Man" aimed at 50 Cent after the latter made disparaging remarks about King's mother, Tameka "Tiny" Harris. This was part of a larger conflict that also saw his father, T.I., release his own diss tracks, "War" and "Right One." Interestingly, it is T.I.'s eldest son, Messiah Harris, who has truly ventured into different genres. Performing under the name Buddy Red, Messiah is a country and blues musician who plays the guitar, with a style reminiscent of soul-rock. He taught himself to play the instrument and has performed his original music live. The Harris family showcases a diverse range of musical talents beyond their father's trap music legacy. In addition to King's rap career and Messiah's blues-rock pursuits, T.I.'s son Domani also has a career in hip-hop, and his stepdaughter Zonnique was part of the R&B group OMG Girlz. This trend of hip-hop offspring exploring varied musical paths is also seen in other famous families, such as Will Smith's children, with Willow Smith moving into the indie rock space.
