Rapper, King Harris found himself in legal trouble after he was arrested for speeding over the legal limit. Here's everything we know about what happened.
Kid Saiyan, or King Harris, landed himself in legal trouble after his arrest for traffic violations. The rapper is the son of T.I. and Tameka 'Tiny' Harris, and is well known for his songs, Young Wild and Reckless and New King of the South. However, apart from his family's musical background, he is often in the headlines for his run-ins with the law. So, as the rapper deals with yet another legal charge, let's take a look at what he was arrested for.
T.I. and Tiny Harris' son, King Harris, was arrested on early Sunday, April 12, 2026 (ET) morning in Gwinnett County following a traffic stop. According to reports, the 21-year-old was reported to be speeding and had drugs on him. Gwinnett County Jail records show that King Harris is now facing charges of speeding, failing to wear a seat belt, and willful obstruction of law enforcement officers. He is also charged with possession of a Schedule II controlled substance.
Not long after, a report by TMZ shared further details on what happened. The news outlet revealed that the rapper was driving at 60 mph in a 45-mph zone. However, when officers pulled King Harris over, they spotted a firearm, and the rapper reportedly refused to get out of the car. Police later found a THC vape pen on him. While further details are being awaited, the news has left everyone shocked.
On the other hand, while the young rapper has been charged with willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, it remains unclear why King Harris initially refused to exit the vehicle when ordered by officers. While jail records confirm he has posted bond, a future court date for these specific charges has not yet been listed. Furthermore, there hasn't been any official statement from the rapper directly addressing the arrest. However, his recent Instagram posts have caught everyone's attention.
Hours after his arrest, two posts of King Harris in a 'Pikachu' onesie were posted on his social media account. His choice of clothing drew significant attention during the arrest. On his Instagram account, Harris posted a video of himself in the outfit, with a caption comparing the police to "Team Rocket." He wrote:
"Living a good Pikachu life in Tokyo, then come back to ATL and team rocket(F**KIN POLICE) catch me with a master ball and throw me in jail all night. WELLL DAMNNN FUCK EM."
According to reports, King Harris was released on bond soon after. After his release from prison, the rapper posted another video on his social media account. The video featured King Harris in the same 'Pikachu' onesie, using the limelight to promote his album. The post could be read as:
"Mannn, Pikachu is free. F**K TEAM ROCKET. Comment “OGYN“ down below for me to DM you the Album Link"
This is not the first time King Harris has landed himself in trouble with the law enforcement. According to reports back in 2024, he was accused of nearly hitting a police officer at a Dunwoody gas station and was taken into custody after an officer smelled marijuana in his car. However, that was not all; he had also been previously transferred to Pickens County on a bench warrant for failing to appear in a 2022 traffic stop involving speeding and DUI charges. Those Pickens County charges were officially dropped in August 2025.
