T.I. has evolved from the creator of trap music into the voice of the people. The King of the South is known to hit the ground to stand against police brutality, racial and gender inequality, and artists' rights among other topics. On Monday (May 21), T.I. took to Instagram to vent about a situation that took place at Houston's restaurant in Atlanta.
In the first of several videos addressing the subject, T.I. threatens the security guard that manhandled a woman. "Aye, I got a message for Houston. After all we went through y’all gon’ allow old Guzman to drag this young lady out the bathroom, through the restaurant, pushing her to the bushes and physically assault her," he begins. Guzman is the security guard in question.
"That's what y'all gonna do? After I put my face on it. That's what y’all gonna do? Guzman I need to see you holmes. I need to see you holmes. Come do me like that. Drag me through the restaurant. And Everybody at Houston's, ain’t no talk. Ain't no talk. All action, we don't want nothing but some smoke.”
In a second video, T.I. explains that the three young ladies entered Houston's as it was closing, and were granted access to the bathroom. At Guzman asked the ladies to hurry up and leave, he returned minutes later when they were still in the restroom.
He then proceeded into the woman's restroom and dragged one young lady out forcibly, injuring her along the way. T.I. posted photo's of the bruises left on the young lady after the assault, and he has promised to handle this as Malcolm X would have.
The rapper organized a boycott against a Houston's in Atlanta last year after a table was thrown at Black females by an employee. That must have been his Martin Luther King Jr. approach. We expect a more militant reaction from the King of the South this time around.
