T.I. Channels ATL Character As He Hits Rollerskating Rink

Publish date: 2024-05-05

T.I. had fans getting nostalgic this week when the rapper/actor threw on a pair of skates and hit the wood like in his 2006 movie, ATL.

In the cult classic film, which is centered around an Atlanta-based skating rink and the lives of its frequent inhabiters, Tip stars as Rashad. His crew in the movie is known for their talent in the rink – and it looks like some of those skills have stuck with him.

In a clip circulating social media on Wednesday (May 17), T.I. can be seen smoothly skating his way around a rink as the comments are littered with references to the 2006 movie.

On the music side of things, T.I. just may be entering a Verzuz ring soon – as Swizz Beatz recently revealed that none other than Rick Ross is looking to go head to head with the “Whatever You Like” rapper.

The legendary producer hopped on Instagram Live with Verzuz co-founder Timbaland on Friday (May 12) where he teased a possible battle between Rozay and Tip in the upcoming season.

“Rick Ross said he wanted T.I. Rick Ross and Tip the battle of the south. Crown of the south. King of the south. That’s a Za. T.I. talk to me. Ross, you could fly your plane to the party,” Swizz said.

Timbo seemed to nod along in approval of the idea as well.

The MMG boss previously called out T.I. in 2020 looking for another battle opponent.

“Check this out… Tip got unfinished business,” Ross said. “Rozay got unfinished business. And after this event, mhmm. It’s time for us to weigh the work. We gotta weigh the work.”

While speaking on his podcast, even Joe Budden called for a Rozay and T.I. matchup in late 2022.

“I’m down for the person that we’ve seen already that won — ‘Alright, next battle!’” Budden said before proposing: “Rick Ross versus T.I.”

T.I. has never taken the Verzuz stage and had his sights set on battling 50 Cent in 2021, but that never came to fruition.
