Atlanta rapper T.I. says he felt a mix of pride and frustration after his sons got involved in his recent online tension with 50 Cent.

During a recent appearance on “The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show,” the Grand Hustle Records founder admitted he didn’t encourage his sons to jump into the situation. Still, he respected the fact that they were standing up for their family.

The one thing that I am proud of out of all this is that the women and children in our family see that it’s a line of men that’s here against who-the-f**k-ever,” T.I. stated in the video below.

While he appreciated the loyalty, Tip made it clear that one moment crossed a line for him. His son King Harris appeared wearing a T-shirt featuring a photo of 50 Cent’s late mother, Sabrina Jackson. That choice didn’t sit right with the Atlanta veteran.

“I said that’s enough when I seen that damn T-shirt,” T.I. said. “I said, ‘Man, chill out.’ I’m big on treating people the way I want to be treated…So I don’t want to see my children doing others…”

T.I. explained that respect still matters, even during heated moments. For him, certain things should remain off limits.

The rapper also shut down the idea that the back-and-forth with 50 Cent was a calculated move to promote his upcoming final album, “Kill the King.” When radio host Ebro Darden suggested the feud could help build buzz, Tip quickly dismissed the theory.

“I don’t give a f**k about that, man,” he said. “I don’t give a f**k about that, bro.”

According to T.I., the situation is now behind him as he shifts his focus back to music and the next chapter of his career.
