The story was first shared by the family who called him out for asking for such outrageous fees. According to them, their late child was a huge T.I. fan and to pay their final respect, they sent a message to the rapper who replied.

So, who do fans believe?

This is not the first time celebrities are being accused of making outrageous demands especially in tragic circumstances.

Last year, at the peak of the Flint, Michigan, lead poisoning that led to deaths in the United States, producer Timbaland was invited to perform at a charity event, but it ended in an altercation after the organisers refused to offer him his brand bubbly, Jay-Z’s Armand de Brignac, which goes for as much as $300 a bottle.
