Clifford Joseph "King" Harris III (born August 25, 2004)[2], known professionally as Kid Saiyan or King Harris, is an American rapper. He is the son of rapper T.I. and R&B singer Tameka "Tiny" Harris, and part of the Harris family, which has appeared on various reality television shows.[3]

Early life

Clifford Joseph "King" Harris III was born on August 25, 2004, in Atlanta, Georgia, to rapper T.I. and singer Tameka Cottle. He grew up in a large family, including half-siblings such as Zonnique Pullins, Messiah, Domani, and Deyjah, many of whom are active in music and entertainment.[4][5][6] Harris graduated from Dutchtown High School in Hampton, Georgia.[7]

Harris appeared on the VH1 reality series T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle with his family, which documented their personal and professional lives.[8][9]

Career

Harris began pursuing music under the stage name Kid Saiyan in 2020, experimenting with Trap music and melodic hip-hop through his initial singles, "Bout Dat" and "Bad Intentions." He followed with the EP A Thin Line Between a King & a Playa in 2021, featuring tracks like "Young Wild & Reckless"[10] and "Bussdown," marking his transition from reality TV personality to recording artist.[11]

In 2023, Kid Saiyan released a series of solo and collaborative singles, including "Father Likes Sons" with Domani,[12][13]

After gaining exposure through his family's television success, Harris appeared in other media.[14] He joined the improv comedy series Wild 'N Out,[15][16] "Hellcat" with Tootie Raww, and "F*Ck It (Go Live)," along with the track "TWO TONE,".

In September 2022, Harris was involved in a verbal altercation at a Waffle House in Atlanta that drew public attention after a video of the incident surfaced online.[17] His parents later addressed the incident publicly, defending their son while acknowledging the challenges of growing up in the spotlight.[18][19] Harris has also drawn attention for his outspoken use of social media, where he has clashed with critics and responded directly to commentary about his family.[20]

In November 2023, Harris was involved in a widely publicized argument with his father, T.I., during a live-streamed family event.[21] The dispute began during an Atlanta Falcons football game, where Harris appeared on Instagram Live while arguing with both of his parents about his upbringing.[22] He claimed he had been raised primarily by his grandmother rather than in luxury,[23][24] a statement that T.I. and Tameka "Tiny" Harris disputed in real time.[25] T.I. later dismissed the incident as a common "family matter" in interviews, highlighting that disagreements between parents and children are typical.[26][27]

In October 2024, Harris was arrested in Dunwoody, Georgia, after being pulled over while driving a BMW.[28] Police reported that he nearly collided with a patrol car when leaving a gas station.[29] Officers said they detected the odor of marijuana and found Harris carrying a firearm on his hip, which was removed without incident.[30][31] He was detained on an outstanding bench warrant from Pickens County for failure to appear in court on prior charges dating back to August 2022,[32] which included speeding, driving with a suspended license, and driving under the influence of drugs.[33]
