T.I. Says "Kill The King" Will Be His Final Album, Plans to Retire From Music

He frames the project as a considered capstone to his two-decade career, with its release date still unannounced.

Overview

  • T.I. confirmed the decision on the Grammy Awards red carpet in an Entertainment Tonight interview alongside his wife, Tiny.
  • He pointed to spending more time with family and pursuing other creative gifts as his reasons for stepping away.
  • The Pharrell-produced single "Let Em Know" arrived in January as the lead track from Kill The King.
  • The album has been in development for years and does not yet have a confirmed release date.
  • The concept reflects his long-running "King of the South" persona, echoing past reflections and Big Boi’s caution, and follows his 2024 statement that Jingle Ball would be his final live show.
