TMZ landed in hot water for posting the cause of death for T.I.'s sister, Precious Harris, on Thursday (June 6). The website reported that a Medical Examiner listed that Harris' death was due to irregular heartbeat triggered by cocaine use, which led her to crashing her car. 

T.I. called out the website in a video, where he stated, "Y'all been profiting off of people pain. Y'all are putting information out there that really disrupts their grieving process. But for the most part, what we do is, we look the other way. You know why? because those people are celebrities. Ain't nobody feel sorry for celebrities they rich. They live the life that they want, they live the way that nobody else can live. Why should we feel sorry for them? Yeah, I get that."

TMZ apologized and removed the Medical Examiner's information on Harris, which was replaced with an obituary that included her legacy of helping her community. Precious Harris was involved with organizations like Saving Our Daughters, Hosea Feed the Hungry, Motherless Daughters, and the Covenant House. She also worked closely with T.I. on philanthropic and humanitarian initiatives, as well as starting her own initiative, the Precious Academy, which provided early education, support, and nurturing to children and their families. 

T.I. responded on Instagram with a photo of his sister and a message that read, "Rest Well Lil Sis...WE GOT U!!! Weapons may form... But They WILL NOT prosper. Not Today!!!! U were too good to too many for US to let any hurt harm or danger come to you or your legacy. #LongLivePrecious."
