Society Confidential: Rapper Domani Harris in town for video shoot

Rapper T.I.’s son Domani (pronounced “da money”) Harris was in Detroit this week filming a hot new music video for his latest album, “Time Will Tell.” Domani, 18, recruited Detroit’s highly sought-after music video team Jerry Phd as director and Everett Stewart as producer. Fans might know Domani from watching him grow up on the reality show, “T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hussle.” Although Domani says his famous dad helped him navigate his way through the music business, Domani is definitely his own man with his own music. In addition to shooting his music video throughout the eastside of Detroit, he was also in concert at St. Andrews Hall Sunday night.
