T.I. Walks Back His ‘Beef’ Comment After Fans Tie It To King Von’s Death

Trap rap pioneer T.I. is walking back earlier comments he made on Instagram Monday after a fan backlash connected his words to the recent shooting of King Von, who died from his injuries on Friday. T.I. tried to explain that he didn’t mean his post to refer to King Von and that he was just speaking generally. “I don’t speak ill of my allies,” he wrote today. “My last post had nothing to do with King Von.”
He continued, “Y’all grossly mistaken. I have no motive or intention to do harm or malice to cats I’m cool wit. My family’s hearts go out to them and I’ve expressed this to the people in his life that matter most in this situation. That’s all I’m concerned with.”
The original tweet was interpreted as a jab toward the Chicagoan King Von, who was shot during an altercation at an Atlanta lounge that escalated from a shoving match to a shootout, involving police Atlanta police officers and leaving three dead, including Von. “Atlanta is a beautiful progressive city filled with black excellence,” his original post read. “We uplift each other & win together. Stop coming here to kill each other. That sh*t is played out.” The caption, which read “Handle YOUR beefs in YOUR city,” prompted Von’s sister to lash out via her own Instagram story and even 50 Cent chimed in.
King Von was fresh off the release of his debut album Welcome To O-Block, released via Lil Durk’s Only The Family Entertainment just one week before his death. Meanwhile, T.I.’s own new album, The L.I.B.R.A., was released in October.

Ghost of Panama explores love, loss, and healing across “The Last Food on Earth” album
Ghost of Panama is back with the 10-track alternative rock album, “The Last Food on Earth,” charting the emotional life of a relationship from start to finish. The record is a personal diary, revealing the hard times of feeling stuck, bearing guilt, confronting painful truths, and finding hope.
The journey starts with “The Lift,” which ups the stakes as emotions shift, and “Stockholm Syndrome Reversed” explores the struggle to detach from toxic attachment. “Island” sets up an emotional framework of isolation and confinement for the rest of the journey, while “Half-Life” is about the slow death love leaves in its wake, the emotional fallout that lingers, reminding us of the heaviness of the past.
Then “Damage” is about the fallout from separation, and it won’t hide the scars that both people carry. The emotional terrain continues with “The Ultimate Maybe,” where uncertainty is not to be ignored. “Ghost of Your Perfume” is about memories that never leave you, and how the slightest reminder can bring back old feelings. “Siberia” takes that loneliness to emotional distance, with a relationship frozen by silence and lost communication.
“Afterlife” delves into the hard time after, exploring grief, adjustment, and the confusing space between holding on and moving forward. The album closes with “North Star,” a quiet but vital sense of direction and healing. With “The Last Food on Earth,” Ghost of Panama delivers honesty and shows that healing is a slow, very personal journey, and an exploration of heartbreak, resilience, and the strength required to navigate the pain.

Siena Fantini unpacks “laundry list,” an EP that showcases growing up, letting go and finding peace
On “laundry list,” an EP that captures the beauty and heartbreak of becoming yourself, Siena Fantini turns growing pains into graceful indie pop. The four-track project drops today, and it’s a real collection of songs that takes you through the confusing emotions of adolescence from first love to fading friendships while embracing the lessons that come with moving forward.
“laundry list” is a four-song track that sends a clear message of emotional growth. Each track is another chapter, and the EP is like a diary of moments that build up who we are in silence. Beginning with the first song, “casual kisser,” this project is a story of romantic disappointment. It’s about the emotional wreckage left by people who flit in and out of relationships without a thought for the feelings they leave behind.
“claustrophobia” shifts to a more intimate mood, exploring the emotional pressure that can build in an unhealthy relationship and revealing the first signs of self-discovery and personal independence. The buoyancy of “25” is a thoughtful meditation on emotionally draining friendships, forcing you to acknowledge the one-sidedness of some relationships and find peace of mind before bitterness sets in.
The project’s ending is “a little less evil” and recalls the bittersweetness of finally walking away from a relationship that’s over. The song is about the most necessary of goodbyes, leaving us with mixed emotions. “laundry list” is a heartfelt release packed with love, loss, growth, and resilience, leaving you with the comforting reminder that every hard chapter can become part of the journey to finding yourself.
