T.I. admitted to pinning a gun charge on his dead cousin, and he's now caught in a war of words with Boosie Badazz

• T.I. has called out Boosie Badazz for canceling their joint album and calling him a "rat."
• Boosie hit out at T.I. over a clip of T.I. admitting to pinning a gun charge on his dead cousin.

T.I. has hit back at Boosie Badazz for canceling their joint album and calling him a "rat" after footage resurfaced of the "Why U Wanna" rapper admitting to pinning a gun charge on his dead cousin.

T.I. and Boosie had been working on a joint album since 2021, but Boosie pulled the plug on the project earlier this week after learning of T.I.'s admission.

"With the T.I. situation, if he did that, you a fucking rat, too," Boosie said during a recent appearance on VladTV. "I don't spare no motherfuckin' body. Because if you doing anything wrong, you doing anything criminal and you cooperate with law enforcement to get you out of trouble – that means you're cooperating. That means you're a rat."

On Tuesday, T.I. addressed Boosie's comments in a lengthy Instagram post, in which he offered to provide the paperwork to prove that he didn't snitch.

"I GOT MY PAPERWORK ready to show!!!" he wrote alongside footage of Boosie's interview with VladTV. "PULL UP!!! My number the same & my address the same."

T.I. added that he doesn't "give a fuck" what Boosie thinks of him.

"To get on da net & speak on shit you've never spoke to me about is leaving me to believe you been hiding ya heart the whole time!!!!" he said. "I'd NEVER speak 'certain disrespect' on your name/reputation bout a 'IF' homie… da convict code say When in doubt...pull the paperwork out!!!"

T.I.'s comments about pinning a gun charge on his cousin came during a 2020 episode of his "expediTIously" podcast titled "Sleep is for the Rich."

The Atlanta-born rapper recalled that in 2000, he and his cousin, Toot, were pulled over by the police after being caught unloading a truck of stolen clothes at a nearby parking lot.

T.I. was armed with a gun at the time they were pulled over. During the trial, Toot was murdered, said T.I., which presented him with an opportunity to escape the charges.

"We caught those gun cases, Toot died. My lawyer said, 'Well, you know, I could make everything go away if it was Toot's, it was Tremel's,'" he said.

T.I. claimed to speak to his cousin beyond the grave, and Toot granted him permission to pin the charges on him.

"After he had passed, I had a talk with him," T.I. said. "Toot said, 'I'll take all the charges you got! If you can walk away free and put it on me, goddamn right! 'Cause I'll be damned if they gon' come and motherfuckin' extradite me from here!'"
