Atlanta’s renowned rapper T.I. had a heated confrontation with a Buckhead club when he discovered that they had used his and his son’s images to promote an event without his consent. In a viral video, T.I. expressed his displeasure at the club’s misuse of his likeness and made it clear that he would not tolerate such an act.

This incident highlights a growing trend where promoters use T.I.’s reputation without his knowledge to add legitimacy to their events.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, she posted an AI-generated image of herself with Dr. King, placed in what looked like a nightclub party scene. While she likely intended to celebrate him, the reaction was unfavorable, especially after Dr. Bernice King, the youngest daughter of Dr. King, criticized the post.

Dr. Bernice King found the image “distasteful” and argued that it did not honor her father’s legacy properly. She pointed out that having Dr. King in a party setting undermined his significant contributions to civil rights. On Twitter, she said, “This is not how we honor my father,” and urged Sexyy Red to take the image down immediately.
