T.I. brushed off Sabrina Peterson’s latest allegations involving sex trafficking and his son King Harris with a pointed Instagram video on Sunday (July 6) that doubled as both a denial and promo for his upcoming comedy gigs.

“Yeah, man. I’m just out here, man, just thinking how beautiful it is today, man,” T.I. said in the video. “You know, it’s a beautiful day to not be a buster, man. It’s a beautiful day to not hate on nobody. It’s a beautiful day to not spread lies and to not be negative. It’s a beautiful day, man, to mind your business.”

Without naming Peterson directly, the Atlanta rapper made it clear he was addressing someone he believes is spreading misinformation.

“Don’t be out here spreading propaganda just because you unhappy with your life and yourself, man,” he said. “God has blessed you, too, man. He got your blessings. Don’t look to nobody else and point blame at somebody else because you ain’t reached and tapped into your blessings yet. They coming.”

T.I. then pivoted to plug his comedy appearances in Washington, D.C., saying, “And furthermore, I’ll be in DC, man. I’ll be in DC at the improv. It two more show. The rest sold out. Be sure to like, comment, and subscribe.”

He followed up with another clip, addressing someone who appeared to be filming him.

“Hey, uh, what’s happening, man?” he continued. “Uh, while you all in my face while I’m getting my drink in, man, check this out. Don’t be don’t be tracking me. Don’t be clocking me, man. What you need to be doing and making your way to DC, man. Get your tickets, man. Because we will be in DC, you understand me?”

Peterson, a former associate of T.I. and his wife, Tiny Harris, has previously accused the couple of sexual misconduct and abuse. Her latest claims, which surfaced online, allege that their son King was somehow involved in sex trafficking activity.

“Don’ t worry, you’re next,” Peterson wrote on social media earlier this week, seemingly referring to the Diddy case. “It’s the trafficking, coercion, prostitution & you can’t give consent while forcing your victims to take drugs. NLB.”

Peterson sued the couple in 2021 alleging defamation. Specifically, she claimed T.I. held a gun to her head and threatened her, which he has denied. She also accused the couple of drugging and sexually abusing multiple women.

No formal charges have been filed, and both T.I. and Tiny have denied all accusations. T.I. is scheduled to perform at the DC Improv this week, with only two shows still available.

Deion Sanders welcomed Lil Wayne to his Texas estate for a surprise visit over the July 4th holiday, which turned into a snake-hunting adventure as the Colorado football coach continues recovering from a health issue that has kept him out of the public eye.

The visit, captured on video and shared by Deion Sanders Jr., showed the Hip-Hop icon and Coach Prime bonding outdoors, with Sanders still visibly in recovery mode.

“Thank You My Brother @liltunechi for coming to visit me & making sure I’m straight @liltwist ,” Sanders Jr. posted. “Love y’all man!”

The clip, posted on July 5, showed the group walking through the property, spotting a snake, and reacting with a mix of humor and caution. The moment added a light-hearted moment to what has otherwise been a serious stretch for the Hall of Famer.

Deion Sanders, who missed multiple June events, including a scheduled appearance on June 11, has been open about his health struggles.

In a conversation with former NFL player Asante Samuel, he said, “What I’m dealing with right now is at a whole other level. I’ve lacked energy and lost 14 pounds.”

Despite the setback, Sanders has remained optimistic about his return to the sidelines.

“I can assure you all that everything is OKAY and will continue to be so,” he said in a statement. “I’m excited to get back to Colorado to be at home with my staff, team & all associated to our program. When we arrive back to Boulder you will be updated on everything.”

Wow, I am truly blessed for the abundance of well wishes, for all the thoughts and all of the prayers. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I can assure you all that everything is OKAY and will continue to be so. God got me like no other. I have so much more work to do to Glorify…

— COACH PRIME (@DeionSanders) June 11, 2025

The coach also credited his son for standing by him during this time.

“#Every little step I take My son @deionsandersjr has been there, so we’ve decided to keep on stepping! #CoachPrime coming to a stadium sold out soon. @welloffforever .”

Deion Sanders is expected to return to Boulder ahead of the Buffaloes’ season opener on August 29.

Diddy walked back into his Manhattan detention center to cheers and applause after a federal jury cleared him of sex trafficking and racketeering charges on July 2.

The rap mogul was convicted on two lesser counts tied to prostitution but managed to sidestep the most serious RICO allegations in a rare courtroom win against the federal government.

The verdict came after 13 hours of jury deliberation and nearly a year of legal turmoil following raids on Diddy’s properties in March 2024.

He’s been in custody since his September 2024 arrest.

His defense team, led by attorney Marc Agnifilo, took a blunt approach—no witnesses—just sharp cross-examinations and a direct argument that Diddy’s actions didn’t meet the legal threshold for trafficking.

The moment Diddy returned to jail, inmates reportedly stood and clapped.

“They all said: ‘We never get to see anyone who beats the government,’” Agnifilo told The Associated Press. “I said: ‘Maybe it’s your fate in life to be the guy who wins. They need to see that someone can win. I think he took that to heart.’”

The case had drawn national attention, with many legal observers noting that defendants seldom prevail in federal trials involving such charges.

Despite the partial victory, Diddy remains behind bars. Judge Arun Subramanian denied his request for bail, citing concerns over his past behavior and potential risk to the community. Prosecutors highlighted a pattern of violence and criminal conduct in their push to keep him detained.

Diddy was found guilty of two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution, each carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years. Prosecutors are seeking a sentence of up to five years, while his defense team argues for a sentence closer to two years.

His sentencing is set for October 3.
