After a comedy show at the Atlanta Comedy Theater in which the two shared the stage, Godfrey had some criticisms of the fact that Tip got to close the show.
“As a headliner, no one is supposed to go up after you,” said Godfrey on an episode of his In Godfrey We Trust podcast.
“There’s a code in comedy that I follow. I’m not watching what you can’t do better than me. You’re not a comedian to me.”
T.I. responded to Godfrey via Instagram.
“What God got for you is yours. Can’t nobody take that from you. Okay?” stated Tip. “All of a sudden because I’m now standing on a stage sharing my gifts with the world, utilizing the tools and the skills that I’m developing, you feel like that’s in your way some kind of way. And that’s more your problem than I could ever be.”
“I see [Godfrey] as a giant in the comedy s###. And what I saw in his [podcast] was – I saw a legend trying not to hate while hating. Like innuendos, little tidbits of hate here and there while surrounding it with some compliments to make it seem like you ain’t hating,” T.I. told his IG followers. “To be honest with you, to me, that made a giant look small in my eyes.”
