Rapper T.I. has announced his retirement from live performances, with his final show scheduled for December 19 at 96.1 The Beat's Jingle Ball concert in Atlanta. During an interview, T.I., whose real name is Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., expressed gratitude for the opportunity, stating he no longer needs the money and simply does not want to perform anymore. He humorously mentioned that if he were to perform again, it would be on his own terms. This announcement comes shortly after T.I. and his wife, Tiny Harris, won a $71 million lawsuit against MGA Entertainment for intellectual property rights violations related to their group, the OMG Girlz. T.I. emphasized his desire to step back from the entertainment grind, indicating a shift in his career focus. His retirement marks a significant moment in the hip-hop landscape, as he has been a prominent figure since his debut in 2001.
