Rapper T.I. made headlines last week after he was booed during a stand-up comedy performance at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The Atlanta Hip-Hop icon has been branching out into stand-up as of late, and the crowd at Barclays gave T.I.-the-comedian a decidedly cold reception. But in the comments section of a Shade Room post about the incident, fellow rapper Nelly came to T.I.'s defense.

The St. Louis rap star voiced his support for Tip, acknowledging that this is what comes with comedy.

“Tell me what comedian hasn’t got booed?” Nelly wrote. “Apart{sic] of earning ya stripes. That’s a part of entertainment. Period."

T.I. appeared at the April Fools Comedy Jam in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center which also featured a star-studded lineup of comedians such as B. Simone, Nick Cannon, HaHa Davis, Eddie Griffin, Michael Blackson and more. But clips began circulating hours after the show that showed T.I. being booed as he performed his set.

“I’m gone tell y’all muthafuckin’ ass like this. You got one more muthafuckin’ album out of me. It’s called ‘Kill The King’ for muthafuckas like you. And I appreciate y’all because you make me the absolute best n-gga. New York has made me the muthafuckin’ best.”
