T.I. has been quietly serving time behind bars, but took a moment to reconnect with his fans online. The Atlanta rapper, who remains in an Arkansas facility on a probation violation, is expected to be released this fall. In his letter, he thanked his loyal supporters including his peers Lil Wayne, Nelly, Rick Ross, and B.o.B.
To show his appreciation for Team T.I., he plans to release a new song in the next couple weeks. He says that his latest experience has taught him valuable life lessons. “None of them is as strong as my determination to conquer my own imperfections and my will to WIN NO MATTER WHAT!!!” he wrote.
Read Tip’s full message below.
What up world? Been a minute. I’d like to thank you all for the thousands of letters, cards, books, pictures and words of encouragement. I’m truly grateful. I’m sure you already know I’m nearing the end of this chapter of my life, and looking forward to taking all of the things I’ve learned with me while leaving all the rest of the “BS” behind. I’ve been tuned in somewhat to what’s been happening out there. I can’t even begin to tell y’all how much being on the outside looking in, having to witness all that’s going on (and not going on) in the game affects me. Not being able to do what I love especially. It’s like a whole other sentence within itself. But I really do appreciate all the love, respect, shout outs and salutations during this very difficult period in my life. Everybody from da homies Weezy, Killa Mike, R. Rozay my lil bruh B.o.B, Terrence J (106 & Park) and my “durty” Nelly. Regardless of whether the gestures were the greatest or the smallest, they still meant the world to me. REAL TALK. The separation from my art has definitely sparked an inferno of inspiration that will soon be felt by all. As a matter of fact, to show my appreciation to those that have been in support of me and granted the requests of TEAM T.I. I’ll be releasing a record in the near future (couple of weeks tops) to hold y’all over til I get back in action. During this time of seclusion I have developed a mind full of thoughts, ideas, plans and strategies of change to incorporate into my professional endeavors, as well as my personal lifestyle. But none of them is as strong as my determination to conquer my own imperfections and my will to WIN NO MATTER WHAT!!!
I love, respect and appreciate all those who have stood beside me and I have accepted those you didn’t. But one things for sure and two for certain. As long as the Most High blesses me with the ability to live and breathe….My campaign will continue!!! Stronger, smarter, bigger and better than ever. For those that doubt that…See me when they free me.
Love King

Again, I freaking love T.I. He makes himself very powerful by being humble, approchable, and human after all. Unlike Weezy for instance, I can’t wait for him to come back and display that new-found inspiration.
Long live The King, partner !

I really hope he learned something from this. Not only are you messing with your money and your career by constantly being in prison, but you’re messing with your home life. He has children that need their father in their life, so he needs to shape up and stop running the streets/acting so “ignant”. Nothing wrong with being a grown a-s man.
