Remember one of the members of The Chainsmokers accused T.I. of punching them in the face? Well, the โ€œKing of the Southโ€ took to social media to address the allegation.

In a video posted to Instagram, the Atlanta rapper confirmed the allegation and said he did in fact punch Andrew โ€œDrewโ€ Taggart of The Chainsmokers in the face.

He can be heard saying in the video, โ€œFirst of all, I Love The Chainsmokers, they make great music, you knowโ€ฆ Itโ€™s really not much more to the story that youโ€™ve already heard.โ€

He continued, โ€œI think the most important thing to take away is afterward, we had a drink, we took a shot, and we moved on, you know? Loving the party, having a good time.โ€

Throughout the video, T.I. couldnโ€™t help laugh and giggle a little.

Tip wanted to clarify there was no malice between the two parties and that heโ€™s a fan of the EDM duo. He even invited the group to appear on his podcast, ExpediTIously.

In a TikTok uploaded to the EDMโ€™s groupโ€™s account, Alexander Pall and Andrew Taggart document their time at a nightclub with T.I.

Titled โ€œWhen meeting T.I. goes wrong,โ€ the video shows the duo having a good night out at the club. At one point in the clip, you see Taggart and the Atlanta rapper take a picture together.

It then cuts to Taggart saying, โ€œT.I. just literally punched me in the face. Weโ€™re in a vibe and I, like, gave him a kiss on the cheek โ€” it was totally my fault. He was like, โ€˜Donโ€™t do that.โ€™ And I was like, โ€˜OK.โ€™ He pushed me off and I was like, โ€˜Alright, my badโ€™ โ€ฆ And he was like, โ€˜Alright cool, weโ€™re good.โ€™ It was the weirdest interaction ever.โ€

He continues, โ€œFirst of all, T.I. is fully in the right here. I was feeling the vibes way too hard and I kissed T.I. on the cheek. And he punched me in the face for it! Itโ€™s fully fine.โ€

Since all is good between the two and they both found it comical, I hope The Chainsmokers hop on T.I.โ€™s podcast and discuss the hilarious incident in length.
