T.I. Slams Trump For Calling Out Stephen Colbert, Says ‘They Call That Hypocrisy’

When it comes to T.I. opinions on President Donald Trump, the rapper has no problem saying how he really feels. The rapper’s latest issue is with the POTUS calling out late-night TV host Stephen Colbert after the comedian made a joke about him and Vladimir Putin.

Walking through the Los Angeles International Airport, T.I. was asked by TMZ what he thought about Trump’s comment. “Sounds like he was referencing himself in politics,” the rapper said, in regards to Trump calling Colbert a “talentless hack” who talks “filthy.”

“[Trump] has gone on record as saying some of the filthiest things I’ve heard said — the filthiest thing I’ve ever heard someone in his position say. To cast that light on someone else when it’s reflection of you — I think they call that, ‘hypocrisy?’”

The rapper continued talking about Trump, saying, “This guy’s really proven himself to be the clown that we all knew that he was… It’ll all come to head sooner or later. Karma is constant. It’ll all come to a head.”

T.I. has been very vocal about Trump throughout the year. After the president tweeted about Snoop Dogg’s “Lavender” music video, T.I. took to Instagram and unleashed a number insults aimed at Trump, calling him a “tangerine tanned muskrat scrotum skin, lacefront possum fur wig wearing, alternative fact, atomic dog.”

On Thursday, Colbert opened his “Late Show” by responding to the commander-in-chief, saying, “The President of the United States has personally come after me and my show, and there’s only one thing to say — yay!” The comedian laughed and then blew a kiss to the camera as the audience chanted his name.

“Mr. Trump, there’s a lot you don’t understand, but I never thought one of those things would be show business,” Colbert added. “Don’t you know I’ve been trying for a year to get you to say my name? And you were very restrained — admirably restrained — but now you did it. I won.”

During an interview with Time, Trump commented on Colbert’s ratings, saying, “The guy was dying. By the way, they were going to take him off television, then he started attacking me and he started doing better.” The president also claimed his appearance on the show when he was a candidate gave the show it’s highest rating ever.

Colbert acknowledged that poking fun at the president has been good for ratings, saying, “It’s almost like a majority of Americans didn’t want you to be president. You know who’s got really bad ratings these days? You do. Just terrible approval numbers. I hear they’re thinking about switching your time slot with Mike Pence.”

The comedian also corrected Trump’s claim about the highest-rated episode saying an episode featuring Jeb Bush beat out the president’s episode. “You got beat by ‘low energy Jeb,’” he said. “But don’t worry, you won the ratings college.”
