T.I. Blows Up On Radio Station, Comes To Trae Tha Truth’s Defense

Grammy-winning rapper T.I. isn’t about holding onto grudges but has a bone to pick with a Houston radio station for not putting respect on Hustle Gang affiliate Trae Tha Truth‘s name.

A screenshot has surfaced of Tip letting loose on H-Town’s 97.9 The Box low-key shading Trae with its Hurricane Harvey coverage.

Back in 2010, Trae talked about getting banned from certain Houston airwaves over calling out a local deejay on a record.

“My mixtape is called The Incredible Truth, so if I am the voice of the streets and the one speaking up for the city, I got to stand up,” recalled Trae, describing a radio interview with a DJ at Houston’s KBXX radio station. “This is all I know, so the actual line that I had referring to [the DJ], was ‘I had the world hating on me like Nnete’s fat ass.’ When I said that, that was the breaking point. Somebody shot me an email like ‘Do not air Trae as of today. No song, rotation, mixshow, remixes, interviews, Twitter, Facebook, no mention.” (MTV)

Over the past few days, both Trae and H-Town superstar Beyoncé have gone viral by helping Hurricane Harvey victims.
