TI’s son shares an interesting post after the death of a Florida rapper who threatened his life

Jacksonville rapper Foolio, whose real name is Charles Jones, was fatally shot Sunday morning while celebrating his twenty sixth birthday in Tampa.

The incident took place in the parking zone of the Holiday Inn hotel where he had rented a room after the Airbnb party he was attending was shut down by police. Foolio’s attorney, Lewis Fusco, stated that Jones was essentially “ambushed” at the hotel, According to to News 4 Jax.

Just hours after the rapper’s death, his former rival King Harris, son of rapper TI, posted a statement on his Instagram Story that appeared to confer with his contemporary’s death.

The two emerging artists have attacked one another online in the past, which erupted when Foolio questioned his “gangster” credentials.

“Stay safe out here,” King wrote in what many interpreted as his final jab.

In May 2024, the “FTA” artist criticized King for denying that he was born into privilege.

In response to a video of King actually arguing with his father over his son’s wealth, Foolio wrote, “I understand why you want to be a gangster, you grew up with a silver spoon.”

The comment sparked a heated exchange on social media, with Harris difficult Foolio to a boxing match.

“Julio Foolio, take your bitch to the boxing ring, nigga. Do you would like to speak about me? “I hear a lot of these niggas got a lot to say and they go viral, but when I tell ’em they can get in the boxing ring, they all wanna be the fuck quiet,” Harris, 19, said in the video.

Foolio’s response was dismissive, suggesting Harris find something higher to do than bothering him.

“I barely post or troll looking for something productive for you to do before you start watching Netflix in Heaven with Our Lord and the Survivor,” he wrote just a month ago.

The beef appeared to have died down, but after King’s comments, some people think perhaps he or his dad had something to do with the shooting.

Influencer Rap Facts News suggested that perhaps King or his dad “dropped the bag” on Foolio’s head, meaning he was paid to eliminate him. However, that is an assumption. There isn’t any evidence that any of Harris’ men had anything to do with his death.

People also warn King to present up his fascination with street life, because nothing good will come from it.

“I hope King Harris (TI’s son) realizes this is not a rattling game. Foolio checked him out not too way back… Don’t make yourself a goal! one tweet read.

Over the past few years, Foolio and his 6 Block/KTA crew have long been embroiled in a violent feud with rival gang ATK, using controversial lyrics to chronicle the murders of their opponents. This constant conflict gave rise to a recent hip-hop genre often known as “killer rap”.

Foolio’s famous diss track “When I See You”, a remix of Fantazja’s hit, clearly describes the murders committed by his gang. The song was a response to an ATK song boasting about the murder of Foolio’s associates. Unfortunately, the song refers to the murder of rival Royale Smith, who was celebrating his birthday at the time.

“I went out to eat on his birthday (six)/ Four shots, three dead in the worst way (damn)/ He kept making fun of me (what happened?)/ Now we’re smoking 23,” he rapped.

On the night of his death, Foolio celebrated his twenty sixth birthday at an Airbnb in Tampa.

According to Fusco, the event attracted too many individuals, causing police to indicate up and shut it down. The Florida resident continued to post on his social media accountspromoting the location of the event, which could have contributed to its closure.

Even though the police ended the party, Foolio he wrote in his Story “Best birthday evrrrr. I appreciate everyone who stepped up. We showed up until we couldn’t show up anymore. We’re on our strategy to the show now, everyone stop by.

Fans on social media were shocked by Foolio’s murder, including one who said: “To die in your birthday may be very sad“on X

Many have noticed that Foolio has a history of releasing diss tracks about other rappers, living and dead, over the past three years.

“All these disses about dead people got to him,” one person wrote on the Hollywood Unlocked Instagram page. Another wrote: “RIP to him, but they always say that the energy you put into the world will definitely get it back 10-fold. If you listen to his music, you’ll understand why I say this.”

“Gangsters used to rap to get out of the mask, now rappers want to be gangsters and be in front,” someone wrote. “This generation is doing everything the other way around.”
