Rapper TI is retiring from live performance

TI is retiring from performing live.

The 44-year-old rapper – whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr – will no longer be going out on stage because he doesn’t “need the money”.

His last gig will be on 19 December at the 93.1 The Beat’s Jingle Ball show in the US city of Atlanta.

Appearing on 96.1 The Beat’s Rari at 2 show, he said: “I appreciate y’all for offering me my last working gig because I do not need the money anymore and I will not be performing.

“I don’t want to do it any more … I don’t want people to pay me to hop around and sweat for their entertainment any more.”

Asked if he would pick up the phone for other upcoming gigs, he said: “Of course, I’m going to answer the phone to tell them that I will not be performing.”

However, he did note he would perform again, but only his own terms.

The Jingle Ball show will also feature performances from Tinashe, Sexyy Red, T-Pain, Saweetie, Khalid and The **** LAROI.

One reason why TI does not need the money from gigs is that he and wife Tiny were recently awarded $US71 million ($A105 million) in damages after winning their lawsuit against toy company MGA Entertainment, who they had accused of violating their **** Girlz music group’s intellectual property rights with their LOL Surprise! **** dolls.

After the verdict was announced, the couple said they were delighted to see “justice has been served”.
