T.I. allegedly punched The Chainsmoker’s member Andrew “Drew” Taggart in the face after he kissed the rapper on the cheek. Taggart explains the situation throughout the video uploaded to The Chainsmoker’s official TikTok page on Tuesday, August 16. The video begins with Taggart and fellow Chainsmoker Alexander “Alex” Pall posing for a picture with T.I. in a club. All of a sudden the video cuts to Taggart in a car with Alex and starts explaining the incident.
The video is a minute long and is titled “When meeting T.I. goes wrong”. The Grammy-winner explains he kissed the Atlanta native rapper because he was “feeling the vibes way too hard,” and admitted the punch was justified. Like a lot of people, Alex can be heard laughing about the whole thing. Watch the full TikTok below.

Basically, Taggart kissed the rapper without consent, but also admits that it was his fault. Finally, halfway through the video, Taggart states “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.”
Afterward, the two musicians are currently on good terms despite him getting punched in the face and the whole situation being incredibly awkward and weird, according to Taggart.
T.I. Moved On Quickly
T.I. has not responded to the video as of yet and seemingly has moved on from the whole matter. As a matter of fact, recently, he was awarded the Outstanding Georgia Citizen Award for his community service and philanthropic efforts in his hometown. He spoke at a ceremony at the Georgia State Capital stating “We will only be remembered by what we meant to our family, our children, and what we were able to do for others.” Another award that T.I. received is the Volunteer’s Achviement Lifetime on behalf of President Joe Biden. Which commemorates the rapper’s 4,000 hours of service to the United States.
