T.I. stopped by HOT 97 to talk with Nessa about his new single “Let Em Know,” out now, and what it means to land his first number one in years. He opens up about what still motivates him at this stage, why he feels like he’s still earning his right to retire, and how this moment feels different from past runs. He also talks about working with Pharrell, the energy behind the record, and the reaction from artists like Chris Brown and Kehlani. A viral moment comes when Tip reveals he hasn’t been on social media since 2023 and doesn’t even check his DMs, choosing instead to stay completely off his phone.
T.I. also addresses his upcoming album Kill the King, what to expect from the project, what the title represents, and whether this could really be his final album. He responds to comments around the “King of the South” title, including mentions of Funkmaster Flex, and shares his perspective on opinions, respect, and growth over time. The conversation also touches on his history with 50 Cent, why he chose not to revisit it, and how he approaches conflict now. Plus, a standout “Proud Pops” parenting check-in goes viral as he breaks down how he’d handle real-life parenting scenarios like bullying, tantrums, and dating, while also reflecting on legacy, his kids building their own paths, and how he wants to be remembered.
