In the December 2011 issue of VIBE Magazine, Clifford “T.I.” Harris speaks up and gives Gay Americans a bit of advice.
In what many consider a shocking move, Tip, who normally chooses his words very carefully, stated that many gays are bit too sensitive and that regardless of anyone’s sexual preference, everyone should have the right to their own opinion:
Man, I will say this, the funniest joke I ever heard Tracy (Morgan) say during a stand-up was, ‘C’mon man, I think gay people are too sensitive. If you can take a dick, you can take a joke.’ [Cracks up laughing.] That shit was funny to me. And it’s kind of true.’
While T.I. makes clear that he supports anyone’s sexual preference, he then connects, in his opinion, a current oversensitivity among gay people with a consequential and ironic offense of the First Amendment. “They’re like,‘If you have an opinion against us, we’re gonna shut you down.’ … That’s not American. If you’re gay you should have the right to be gay in peace, and if you’re against it you should have the right to be against it in peace.’
In related news, something Tip said in the article pissed off Fiddy cent. So much so, that Curtis Jackson issued the following veiled threat via the social networking site Twitter…
Here’s what started this new hip-hop beef….
When Tip and his wife Tiny got caught up on those drug charges last year in L.A. that resulted in T.I. returning to prison on federal probation violation charges, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson tweeted the following:
T.I. apparently felt some kinda way about this major dig from one of his peers and addressed the issue in his VIBE article:
T.I. on people criticizing Tiny for not taking the drug charge
“I’ma tell you, 50 Cent and anybody else, we not gonn’a have no discussion about what my ole lady should’a, would’a, couda done for anything as it pertains to me,” begins his rant. “We ain’t gonn’a do that. I’m the only one in my family that’s gonna take a lick when it pertains to the legal system. Since me, none of my other family members have seen a jail cell. Nobody. I’m the last one. The buck stops here. I feel that a person that stands behind [his woman for a criminal charge] is a coward anyway.”
VIBE: I doubt she would have gotten any time.T.I.: She wasn’t gonna catch it period, ’cause I’m there. That wasn’t even a consideration. Even if she asked me to I would’ve been like, “Nah, you trippin’. “VIBE: So you didn’t feel you were more valuable to your family, employees and business partners on the street?T.I.: “That’s a discussion between me and another man. Not with the mother of my children. Not with the nurturer of my household.”
Dayum Fiddy! The man was merely speaking up for his WIFE…. aren’t we all a bit too old for hip-hop beef?
Who’s team are you on in this situation? Team T.I. or Team Fiddy?

Honey Boo Bye!
Oh… #TeamTwoQuarters
Tomato, tomatoes.
Team Both these mofos are grown men…act like men.
U
L
50 Cent needs to keep his tweets outta grown folks business.
Both men should remember where they both come from, both are too smart to feed into the on going disease that continue to divide our Black men called stupidity. Respect and Support would make more sense in this entire matter. Last but not least Real men do Real thingsp
50 is just a corporate/ twitter net gangster and he just mouthing off just cuz he with $ Team which is like Death Row Records. I an seriously feel that ½ of a dollar boss need to stay focus on saving the children and let the past stay in the past.
TEAM GRAND HUSTLE ALL DAY!
Maybe when ‘gays’ actually have equal rights and protection federally they will stop being ‘too sensitive.’ What an idiot.
VIBE: So you didn’t feel you were more valuable to your family, employees and business partners on the streets. Did that heffa just ask him that question really???????Fudge them other peeople a job ids a job but family is priceless. What man would let his baby’s mother get a charge if he can help it, ANY man that would let his girl/wife take a charge is a bitch ass MF! and “fiddy cent” shouldnt have fixed his ugly mouth/fingers to tweet such comments.. T.I. dont let these stupid people get you down…..
I think 50 had a legitament point. I loved TI’s answer to it but lets face it Tiny wouldn’t have gone to jail and TI breaking probation could have been real bad.I didn’t know it was gonna end this well for TI. But 50 your come back WAS going to far.
I agree with T. I. any man who attempts to make his wife/girlfriend take the charge for his wrong doing, is a complete COWARD. 50 Cent was wrong for making such a comment towards someone’s wife and now he goes off the deep end with threats. He seriously needs to grow up!
ti
I love a man that backs his woman Period! Chill Fiddy.
"That shit was funny to me. And it’s kind of true."
Mr.Tip, how are u going to decipher if something is true or not without firsthand knowledge or contemplation of such things? Like Trina said, "often tried but I’d pass, but from what I heard it ain’t bad"
OK, reading that touched a nerve and made me mad. How is 50 cent going to critize T.I. for doing what a REAL man would in a situation, and protect his wife??? I don’t understand that mentality that some men have now, but the sad part is that it is a common mentality. If couples would work together rather than seperately, then there wouldn’t be so many single-parent households. Not just in a situation like this but in others as well.
i dont get it…whats there to beef about…grow up fellas…
50 please go somewhere n SAT DOWN (n my Madea voice)
T.I. was correct that any man that hides behind a woman is a coward so therefore 50 cent’s twitter gangsterism is complete bull.
[...] The talk show host was persistent though, and switch things up to ask Tiny ow she felt about 50 Cent saying Tiny shoulda took the rap. [...]
Somebody tell “Ms Bonita” (aka 50), to stop hanging out the window in everybody business. It is so femine and reckless as a ‘man’ to put amother man’s legal business and family business in your mouth. This advice comes from someone accused of burning the house down his child was sleeping in. Also the dude who has publically blasted every female that he’s dated after the fact! Grow up much? And people stop calling it a beef. This is one man out of line, and another addressing it and moving on. #done
