  • QUICK QUOTES: T.I. Says He Felt ‘EXPLOITED’ At New Birth During Kanye’s Sunday Service… (VIDEO)

    Sep, 25 2019 | Written by ATLien

    Clifford ‘T.I.’ Harris is not one to mince words when he feels somekindaway and the popular entertainer had a lot to say about his attendance to New Birth Missionary Baptist Church during Kanye West’s Sunday Service last week.

    The popular entertainer says he felt “exploited” when he attended the event at the invitation of church leader Jamal Bryant and discussed the situation alongside outspoken “Trigger Warning” star Killer Mike.

    Tip’s assessment had nothing to do with Kanye and everything to do with the way the mega church pressured attendees for tithes and offerings.

    Details below…

    T.I. posted the photo above shortly after the service with the following caption:

    Yeaaahhh Maaaan We MUST discuss what caused this look on my face in Sunday Service…. #Expeditiously

    As you can see, Tip didn’t look to happy as he sat during the service alongside his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris with a huge scowl on his face.



    Speaking on his Apple Podcast “Expeditiously” with fellow rapper Killer Mike last Thursday, Tip explained his facial expression, noting that the pastor on stage at the time “had the nerve to say ‘c’mon y’all. Get your blessings heard.’”

    Y’all gots ya hear this shit Maaaaan…. #ExpediTIously OUT NOW??@applepodcasts @podcastone

    A post shared by TIP (@troubleman31) on Sep 19, 2019 at 10:39pm PDT

    T.I. goes on to state that’s exactly why his face was so twisted, stating:

    “Are you telling me, I have to give $1,000 for the good Lord almighty to hear my blessings? … that’s probably when I made the face, as he says ‘get your blessings heard,’”

    “This is extortion. At this point you’re telling these people they will not be blessed unless they give their money to you. And this is the problem I have with black churches. That was why I had that face.”

    Clearly there was a lot of money in the room, and T.I. says that he ‘peeped game’ and noticed there were some high-pressure tactics involved.

    When we sat down there was a whole new agenda. It was like they rung the red bell at the Player’s Club.

    It’s not that I have [anything] against pastors or against preachers so-to-speak. It’s just I’ve been raised in the trenches and I was taught to peep game. You ain’t [about to] run no game on me. I will not be extorted.



    Several entertainers had similar feelings and T.I. got quite an “amen corner” in the comments section…

    For the record, Jamal Bryant hit the net to issue a response to T.I. and Killer Mile and he denies the allegations. In short, Bryant claims he nor his church put any pressure on the rappers to give to the church.

    To my comrades @troubleman31 & @killermike let me first say I appreciate your unwavering commitment to the empowerment of this generation. We have echoed the same sentiments on many issues down through the years and was energized by the partnership. I was awakened to your clip this morning and felt compelled to lend context. To have both of you in church was meaningful for many reasons. This is the largest demographic of blacks who don’t buy into organized religion in our history and in large measure because of reasons you have illuminated. To not give redress would be an assault to the body of Christ when I believe I am an ambassador as the two of you are for your field.

    I don’t want Sunday to be used as further ammunition as to why people don’t go to church without them knowing at this same church we gave 5000 pairs of new back to school shoes to kids of #Atlanta, or that we spearheaded 9 million campaign to support @bennett_college , or that we bailed out nonviolent offenders or that we partnered with @delta to send 4 cargo to #Bahamas for hurricane release or that we’ve partnered with @_hamptonu to place 95 displaced students or that we fed the furloughed workers for two weeks while the government was shut down or that we went into housing projects to feed kids of #dekalb county during spring break. For none of these projects were you solicited for a donation.

    The reality is when I came to @newbirthmbc 9 months ago I was met with a 30 million dollar debt that must be paid so that we can be free to do real community development like affordable housing ,entrepreneur work space and medical clinics. I’ve been teaching on self help which are values you both promote. @bishophilliard was invited months ago with no knowledge #kanyewest was coming or either of you. So there was NO money grab intention but part of an internal strategy to mobilize our church community to move towards economic independence. As black men I hope we can come together “expeditiously” to find common ground to build. I want to invite both of you to come and give church another chance. I promise you I’m more interested in your life than your life savings! #runthejewels #bigthingspoppin

    What are your thoughts about T.I.’s statements about feeling “exploited” by the church?

        Simon Guobadia has filed a motion to dismiss the f Simon Guobadia has filed a motion to dismiss the federal defamation lawsuit he previously brought against his ex-wife, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams.

The lawsuit, originally filed in November 2024, stemmed from Instagram posts made by Williams in July 2024 that Guobadia claimed falsely implied he suffered from erectile dysfunction. According to court filings, Guobadia alleged the posts were directed at him and caused reputational harm, emotional distress, and damage to his professional standing amid their very public divorce.

Court records show that on Friday, January 23, 2025, Guobadia filed a Motion to Dismiss the case in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. No ruling has been issued at this time, and the matter remains pending.

Guobadia and Williams married in November 2022 and filed for divorce in February 2024. Their split has continued to play out publicly through court filings and social media, drawing widespread attention.

Kenya Moore is still in eviction court, the Hair Spa isn’t generating business, and the questions are stacking up.

No eviction yet, but also no clear exit plan.  So why hold on so hard?

Is this about a potential Bravo return?
Or is it just cutting losses vs. storyline protection?

Let’s discuss ⬇️

Kenya Moore’s attorney revealed in court this week that the Hair Spa space was intended for filming — not daily clients. 👀

So when folks said it looked like a content creation space… were they really “haters,” or just early? 🤔

Receipts matter. Courts matter. Words matter.

How do you ask the court to seal divorce records while continuing to talk about the divorce publicly?

Receipts > rumors.
