T.I. has also spoken at area schools as part of his post-prison community service and has donated time and money to worthy efforts ranging from hurricane relief to the Boys & Girls Clubs.

He’s hosted Thanksgiving turkey giveaways and delivered Christmas presents to families in need throughout the city.

The artist is also known for his activism. In July 2016, he joined hundreds of Atlantans in peacefully marching to protest police-involved shootings of African-Americans. In April 2018, he joined others in calling for a boycott of Starbucks following the controversial arrests of two black men that was widely disparaged as racist.

And in a widely popular move, in February 2018, he helped buy tickets for hundreds of people to attend an early screening of "Black Panther" at the Regal Hollywood Stadium 24 in Chamblee.
