T.I. takes on Lil' Flip -
Fresh out of the pen wearing his orange inmate jumper, T.I. commandeered the stage at Atlanta's Hot 107.9's 9th annual Birthday Bash, and unleashed a verbal assault on Lil Flip.
Both emcees were on hand and slated to appear at the annual concert. But after Lil Flip caught a verbal beatdown from T.I., Lil Flip didn't make it to the stage. But he explained it's not because he was scared:
"I hear T.I. on stage with like 20 of his men supposedly ready to confront me when it was my turn to take the stage," explains Flip. "First of all, I was late and it was supposed to be over. At that point the police and the venue people kept us off the stage, they were gonna shut it down and leave."
Their beef started because Flip allegedly said that T.I. wasn't the "King of the South." But according to Flip, T.I. started this lie to generate publicity for himself:
"Dude is on stage mad, claiming he's the King of the South, and that I said he wasn't. All I gotta say is that I don't even KNOW him. I mean, I hear he's calling out my peoples Luda and DTP too so I guess it's just part of the game for him, a publicity stunt to move some more units. I don't need to do anything extra to draw more attention to myself."
Flip says he's staying focused on his hustle and staying away from the drama that comes with mainstream success:
"A lot of people have been coming at me, and I really don't have the time to address all of them. Ima keep doin' me regardless, I got a new hit record out. I've been in so much beef in my life, I'm happy to be here and still be living. I've put in my time. If he wanna take it there, I mean he got a team, I got a team too, so its whatever. Otherwise, go find another way to sell records 'cause I am selling records."
