King Harris went viral last month for his inability to spell ‘tomorrow’
Last month, T.I. and King Harris were guests on the Me & Halo podcast hosted by 2 Chainz and his son Halo Epps. During the show, King Harris was asked to spell "tomorrow" but stumbled after the first three letters. He started with "T, O, R," leaving his father T.I. surprised. Harris later said he "missed a W" but didn’t realize he had added an extra 'R' instead.
Harris later admitted on the podcast that he was better at math. Epps proceeded to ask him what 100 divided by two was, for which Harris had no response. However, Harris then let Epps know that eight times five was 40.
Last year, Harris made headlines for claiming that T.I. was simply trying to look like a good father despite not being one. Adding to the Instagram livestream claim, Harris also said:
“Silver spoon- I ain’t never ate with that… a day in my life.”
The statement was refuted by his mother, Tiny Harris. This also led to Harris revealing that he spent most of his childhood at his grandmother’s house.
