ATLBlackStar – Many initially expressed concern about the 20-year-old due to his past childish behavior, and some believed King was in the process of shedding his “gangsta” persona.
But recent posts on his Instagram page have raised more alarm from fans and now his grandmother.
On Sept. 10, King shared a photo on his Instagram Story showing him with a red ring around his right eye. “Still got my chain,” he wrote with a few laughing emojis. “Ps you should see them.”
The young rapper never disclosed if or who he had a fight with, nor has there been any video evidence or mention of King’s fight online. This post follows another that caused his Tiny’s mother, Diane Cottle, to chime in on his actions.
Two days earlier, King shared a video of himself rapping his song while driving and smoking in a car. Diane wrote in his comments, “Stop smoking so much. Son.”
King replied back, “@diannecottlepope I’m sorry Mamaw I love you.”
Diane is also the same grandmother King revealed he was living with during the filming of his family’s VH1 show “T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle.”
“It’s a lot about that TV show that got people confused because I lived with my grandma, you know; we’ll go to the house on like a weekend,” he said during a sit-down interview with Funny Marco nearly a year ago.
“They’ll say, ‘Hey, we shooting today, we need y’all at the house.’ They’ll come get me from my grandma house and right after we done, when them cameras go off I’m right back at my grandma house,” King continued.
Regardless of his upbringing, fans want King to make more sensible decisions as she prepares to welcome his first child.
