T.I. has been one of the most ardent supporters of Kevin Samuels since the image consultant’s unexpected death earlier this month. After initially brushing off those who didn’t appreciate Samuels’ frequent disparaging of Black women, Tip decided to up his love for Samuels and his work regarding relationships and interpersonal communication between Black men and women with an entire show of his ExpediTIously podcast dedicated to his memory.
On Friday (May 13), Tip uploaded an Instagram video of both men and women who praised Samuels’ work, referring to him as an “uncle they never had” and helping certain men “understand their worth and significance.”
“Gon keep reppin for all the strong minded black men that society has trained you to hate because they don’t go along with the programming,” Tip captioned his post. “Fun fact:There can be no bad without good & vice versa. Don’t let herd mentality make you ignore the value of information….That’s when they got you right where they want you. As promised I’m dropping a special unreleased episode of @expeditiouslyti dedicated to @kevinrsamuels soon. until then… chew on this! ”
