T.I. Reacts To Being Booed At A Comedy Show

T.I. was up against his toughest audience on Saturday (April 9). The rapper-turned-comedian performed alongside comedians Rip Micheals, Nick Cannon, Eddie Griffin, Bruce Bruce, and Michael Blackson during the April Fools Comedy Jam at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

Instead of performing, the Atlanta MC demonstrated his stand-up skills. Tip tells a joke in which he defines the word “anonymity,” but the joke falls flat and the audience swiftly turns on him.

When he realized he was being booed, he exclaimed, “Well, Goddamn.”

T.I. On His Upcoming Album

“You got one more motherfu**in’ album out of me, it’s called Kill the King for motherfu**ers like you,” he informed the crowd, referencing his motherfu**inis upcoming final album. “And I appreciate y’all because you made me the absolute best. New York has made me the’ best.”

He went on with the show despite the boos. T.I. addressed the situation on Instagram Live with Michael Blackson after the video went viral.

T.I.  Felt Good After Being Booed

When asked if it felt good, he said, “Yes! I loved it, I didn’t feel like they were booing me. Also, I felt like they were booing me as, ‘I dare you to be more funny, I dare you to overcome this. I dare you to do better,’ I feel like that’s what they challenged me to do and I did it.”

T.I. states that he was not offended and that he could care less. “I don’t care what they show, bruh, ’cause I ain’t seeking nobody’s validation,” he added. “I’m not here for nobody else’s approval. I don’t give a damn.”

In recent months, T.I. has worked as a stand-up comedian. “I laugh at these rappers for capping / I guess T.I.P ain’t the only one out here with jokes,” J. Cole raps on his new collaboration with BIA, “London” as he gave T.I a shout out. Read more
