In a powerful and unapologetic breakdown, rap legend and activist T.I. calls out Lloyd’s of London for their deeply buried financial roots in the transatlantic slave trade. With surgical clarity, TI walks his audience through the chilling reality: Lloyd’s didn’t just insure ships — they insured human cargo, our ancestors, and built a $52.8 billion empire off it.
From insuring slave ships and “lost property” to profiting off the dehumanization of African people, this clip reveals how one of the world’s most powerful financial entities built generational wealth on Black suffering. TI doesn’t stop at history — he draws a straight line to today, challenging Lloyd’s top clients like David Beckham and 20th Century Fox, and calling for real reparations.
This is more than just hip hop commentary — this is history, economics, and revolution through the voice of one of rap’s most respected minds. A must-watch for anyone serious about truth, legacy, and justice.
