Another little one could soon be joining the Harris family! Rumors are swirling that rap legend T.I. will soon have his fourth grandchild after baby shower photos made their rounds on social media. If the whispers are to be believed, one of his eldest sons, Messiah "Buddy Red" Harris, prepares to enter a new chapter of fatherhood.
The touching act was reported in late February 2025 and was attended by T.I. and his spouse, Tiny, their children, and immediate family members. The affair, covered and posted on the celebrity blog BCKOnline, included joyous moments that suggest Buddy Red's first kid is on the way.
In the images, a delighted T.I. and Tiny stand beaming with pride, surrounded by their expanded family, as they celebrate Buddy Red's milestone into fatherhood. While no statement has been made, the images themselves have fans convinced that the Harris family tree is growing again.
If the rumors are accurate, this will be the fourth time the "Live Your Life" rapper has taken on the grandfather title. The next generation of Harris's legacy is already strong: Tiny's daughter, Zonnique Pullins, welcomed their first grandchild, a girl, in December 2020. Since then, their sons Domani and King have also welcomed children, which makes T.I. a seasoned granddad.
Just last September, T.I. glowingly announced that Domani had a daughter and King had one on the way. They are even inspired by their journeys as fathers, making music connected to their children. King, especially, shares many adorable moments with his baby on social media.
Not one to shy away from a good joke, T.I. had already poked fun at King for becoming a father, joking that he would ensure his grandson returned the favor. "I am going to raise this child to torture you like you tortured me," T.I. joked. "I promise you, there will be an indictment in this young one."
His third grandchild has been bestowed quite the collection of nicknames, from "Jack Jack" and "Man Man," but T.I. has labeled him "The World's Greatest Gangsta."
Buddy Red isn't just embracing fatherhood but also making strides in the music industry, just like his superstar dad. But Buddy Red is forging in rock and blues instead of following T.I.'s hip-hop path. Recently, the 25-year-old opened up about his artistic journey on The Portia Show.
Though he initially imagined remaining behind the scenes as a music producer, that changed after he saw Bohemian Rhapsody. The film did its will, causing him to open his eyes to the power of life and feel equal to progeny and classic rock, a streak of new passion. "When I saw that movie… once that music came on and I found out what classic rock and roll is all about, I forgot about production for the most part," he said. "I said I want to be on a stage, and I want to do that.
With three grandchildren and potentially a fourth, the Harris family's legacy marches on in music and life. Whether the rumors are true, love and family are front and center in T.I.'s world. And if history has taught us anything, we may have another Harris making history in the entertainment industry in the future!
