T.I. Announces Potential Retirement from Live Performances After Jingle Ball Headline Amid $71M Legal Victory!
TIP is officially retiring his jersey and throwing the towel in with rap after his recent big pay day.
T.I. has announced that his headlining performance at Atlanta’s Jingle Ball on December 19 could be his last. During a conversation on 96.1 The Beat, the rapper explained his decision to step back from performing live, stating,
“I don’t need the money anymore… I don’t want to hop around and sweat for people’s entertainment.”
Despite this, he left room for future shows, but only on his terms.
The event will also feature performances by Saweetie, Sexyy Red, The Kid LAROI, Khalid, and Tinashe. Young Dro, who joined T.I. for the interview, teased that he would be taking over any shows T.I. skips, playfully stating, “I will be picking up all of Tip’s shows.”
This news follows a major legal win for T.I. and his wife, Tiny, in a lawsuit against MGA Entertainment. The couple successfully sued the company for violating the intellectual property rights of Tiny’s music group, the OMG Girlz, resulting in a $71 million victory. Tiny celebrated the outcome on Instagram, saying, “We did this for the culture.”
T.I.’s potential farewell to live shows and the couple’s court victory mark significant milestones in their careers. Fans will be watching closely to see if the rapper officially retires from the stage.
