T.I.

T.I. made some noise when he signed his first-ever major label record deal with Arista subsidiary LaFace in 1999. He rose to prominence in the early 2000s, dropping hit after hit, like U Don’t Know Me, What You Know, and more. He even won several Grammy awards. To top it off, T.I became known as a rapper, singer, songwriter, actor, record producer, and entrepreneur. He is also known as one of the pioneers of the hip-hop style trap.

However, his fame gradually decreased, along with the sales of his music. But despite the change, the 40-year-old star’s spending habits remained the same. It took a toll on his bank account, and his long-term investments became of no use. It only left him in a financial pit for years, although he is now settling his financial issues. In 2018, he finally paid off his tax debt of $1.4 million.
