The internet is buzzing following the arrest of King Harris, the 21-year-old son of rap legends T.I. and Tiny Harris. In an incident that has quickly gone viral, Harris was taken into custody in Gwinnett County, Georgia, early Sunday morning while dressed in a full-body Pikachu onesie.
The encounter began around 1:00 AM on April 12, 2026, when officers clocked a vehicle traveling 60 mph in a 45 mph zone. Upon pulling the vehicle over, police reportedly spotted a firearm near the driver’s seat. According to official reports, Harris initially refused to exit the vehicle, leading to a tense standoff with law enforcement. A subsequent search of the vehicle uncovered a THC vape pen containing 10 milligrams of a controlled substance, resulting in felony King Harris drug possession charges.
Beyond the felony drug charge, Harris faces several other legal hurdles. He was booked on a misdemeanor charge for willful obstruction of law enforcement officers due to his refusal to comply with initial commands. Additionally, he received citations for speeding and a seatbelt violation. This latest incident adds to a string of legal friction for the young rapper, who previously dealt with an outstanding warrant for failure to appear in court in 2024.
True to his provocative public persona, Harris didn’t stay quiet after posting bond. He took to Instagram to share a selfie in the yellow Pokémon costume, mockingly comparing the Gwinnett County Police to “Team Rocket.” In his caption, he joked that the authorities “caught da Pikachu wit a master ball,” drawing thousands of comments and mixed reactions from fans and critics alike.
While King Harris has been released from custody, a future court date has yet to be finalized. The combination of a felony drug charge and a firearm in the vehicle could lead to serious legal consequences if convicted. For now, the “Pikachu arrest” remains a top trending topic as the industry watches how T.I. and Tiny will respond to their son’s latest brush with the law.
