T.I. and Tameka "Tiny" Harris' son, King Harris, was arrested in Georgia on speeding and drug possession charges.
Police arrested the rapper and "Xscape" singer's middle child in Gwinnett County early the morning of Sunday, April 12, after a traffic stop, where the "New King of the South" rapper was charged with possession of a Schedule II substance, willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, speeding at least 24 mph over the limit and a seat belt violation, according to county jail records viewed by USA TODAY.
King Harris, 21, was booked around 2:30 a.m. Sunday, and was released on bond just after 8 a.m. the same morning.
USA TODAY has reached out to T.I.'s rep and the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office for comment.
King's parents, Tiny Harris and T.I., attend the 68th Grammy Awards at Crypto.com Arena on Feb. 1, 2026, in Los Angeles.
A booking photo of King Harris has circulated online of the rapper wearing a yellow Pikachu "Pokémon" onesie. On Monday, King Harris posted an Instagram video wearing the same onesie while sitting in a go-kart in Tokyo, singing along to his song "Made Man."
"Living a good Pikachu life in Tokyo then come back to ATL and team rocket," referring to police, "catch me wit a master ball and throw me n jail all night," he captioned the video. Team Rocket is the main antagonist in "Pokémon."

T.I.'s son has had run-ins with the law before.
In October 2024, the rapper also known as Kid Saiyan was arrested in Dunwoody, Georgia, after he nearly hit a police officer while pulling out of a gas station, Fox 5 Atlanta reported at the time. Police alleged they smelled weed and that he had a gun on his hip. He also had a warrant for his arrest for failure to appear in court, stemming from 2022 charges of speeding, driving with a suspended license and driving under the influence of drugs. Those charges were dropped in August, per Fox 5.
King Harris' relationship with his parents has been strained in recent years, most notably seen during a widely circulated argument with his father at an Atlanta Falcons game in November 2023, as seen on Instagram Live. The argument stemmed from King Harris' claim that his grandmother raised him, not his parents, which they denied in real time.
In February, King Harris jumped into his father's rap beef with 50 Cent, along with T.I.'s other rapper son, Domani.
T.I. and Tiny share seven children, including four from previous relationships: Zonnique Pullins, 30, Messiah Harris, 26, Domani Harris, 25, Deyjah Harris, 24, King Harris, Major Harris, 17, and Heiress Harris, 10.
