Andrew Taggart of The Chainsmokers says that T.I. punched him in the face while they were taking a photo together at a nightclub after Taggart attempted to kiss the Atlanta rapper on the cheek. The Chainsmokers' member explained the incident and admitted that he was in the wrong during a video posted on TikTok, Tuesday.
The TikTok post features the overlay, “When meeting T.I. goes wrong," and is captioned, "My bad T.I. won’t happen again… unless?"
In the video, Taggart explains, “T.I. just literally punched me in the face. We’re in a vibe and I, like, gave him a kiss on the cheek — it was totally my fault."
Taggart's Chainsmokers partner, Alexander Pall, can be heard laughing in the background.
“And he was like, ‘Don’t do that.’ And I was like, ‘OK.’ He pushed me off and I was like, ‘Alright, my bad’ … And he was like, ‘Alright cool, we’re good.’ It was the weirdest interaction ever," Taggart continued. “First 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! It’s fully fine.”
T.I. has yet to comment on the incident; however, he was recently honored with the Outstanding Georgia Citizen Award as well as the Volunteer’s Achievement Lifetime Award for his philanthropic work in Atlanta.
