King Harris Narrowly Escapes Injury During Parking Lesson with Brother Major

A casual driving lesson between the sons of rapper T.I. nearly turned into a medical emergency this week after a parallel parking attempt went wrong. King Harris, the 19-year-old son of the hip-hop mogul and Tameka “Tiny” Harris, narrowly escaped serious injury when his younger brother, Major Harris, almost pinned him between two vehicles.

The incident, which was captured on video and shared across social media, showed the brothers engaged in a teaching moment. King Harris was standing outside a vehicle, positioned between his own car and the one Major was operating, in an effort to guide the 16-year-old through the mechanics of parallel parking. As Major reversed the vehicle, the car accelerated more quickly than anticipated. The footage shows King reacting with shock as the car lurched toward him, forcing him to jump out of the way to avoid being crushed against the stationary vehicle behind him.

King could be heard shouting instructions and warnings as he scrambled for safety. Despite the high-tension moment, King appeared to take the near-miss in stride, later joking about the lack of driving prowess displayed by his younger sibling. “I almost died today,” King said while recounting the event to his followers, though his tone remained lighthearted once the immediate danger had passed.

This is not the first time the Harris family has made headlines for their interpersonal dynamics. The family previously starred in the long-running VH1 reality series “T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle,” which documented the upbringing of all six of the couple’s children. Major, the youngest son, has often been portrayed as the more studious and quiet member of the group, making the chaotic driving lesson a rare moment of public mishap for the teen.

While the video sparked plenty of memes and jokes from fans, it also served as a reminder of the hazards of driver training. Safety experts recommend that those teaching new drivers stay clear of the vehicle’s path of travel, particularly when the driver is practicing maneuvers that require precise throttle control like backing up or parking.
