Rapper T.I. Announces Retirement from Performing

T.I. has announced that his performance at the Jingle Ball concert in Atlanta on December 19 will be his last, stating, 'I do not need the money anymore and I will not be performing.' During an interview on 96.1 The Beat, he expressed his disinterest in continuing to perform for audience entertainment, indicating a desire to step back from the spotlight. Despite this retirement announcement, T.I. mentioned he might perform again but only on his own terms. His decision follows a recent $71 million lawsuit victory alongside his wife, Tiny, against a toymaker for intellectual property theft related to their pop group OMG Girlz. T.I. has previously hinted at retiring from music altogether, planning a final double album titled 'Kill the King and Kiss the King.' He also shared personal moments related to family, including the impending birth of a grandchild, reflecting on his evolving priorities beyond his rap career.
