T.I. Returns to Top 40
T.I. re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 top 40 with "LET EM KNOW," calling the experience "surreal" in a new Billboard interview. He addressed speculation about whether his 50 Cent feud was publicity, emphasizing his desire to move forward and keep family out of the drama. His sons King Harris and Domani have been defending their mother Tiny with social media posts and diss tracks.
The track "LET EM KNOW" is T.I.'s highest-charting single since his 2014 collaboration with Iggy Azalea, "No Mediocre," peaking at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song, produced by Pharrell Williams, is the lead single from his upcoming twelfth studio album, "Kill the King." The feud with 50 Cent dates back to the late 2000s when 50 Cent publicly called T.I. a "snitch" following a plea deal in a federal gun case. Tensions resurfaced in 2020 when T.I. challenged 50 Cent to a Verzuz battle, a request that was largely ignored by the G-Unit rapper. The most recent escalation began in February 2026 after T.I. claimed on a podcast that 50 Cent was avoiding the battle. In response, 50 Cent used social media to troll T.I., his wife Tiny, and their son King Harris, rather than releasing any diss tracks of his own. T.I. has released a series of diss tracks aimed at 50 Cent, including "The Right One," "War," and "What Bully." This one-sided lyrical battle has seen T.I. consistently releasing music while 50 Cent has relied on social media posts. His sons, King and Domani Harris, have also entered the fray with their own diss tracks. King's track, "Made Man," was accompanied by a video where he wears a t-shirt with a photo of 50 Cent's deceased mother. Domani released "Ms. Jackson," a track that samples the OutKast classic and addresses 50 Cent's late mother directly. The family's musical response has drawn support from others in the hip-hop community, including Rick Ross, who commented his approval on King Harris's social media post. Tiny Harris also expressed her pride on Instagram, comparing her musical family to "the next Jackson 5."
