T.I. earns a platinum certification for Let 'Em Know as he nears retirement

T.I.'s single Let 'Em Know has earned an RIAA Platinum certification, AllHipHop reported on 10 August, months after the Pharrell Williams-produced track first went Gold in April 2026 at the equivalent of 500,000 units sold in the United States. T.I. announced the platinum plaque on Instagram, thanking DJs, program directors and fans for the milestone.

Let 'Em Know arrived 18 January as the lead single from Kill the King, the album T.I. has called his final studio project. He told People magazine he recorded the song on a yacht in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, saying his writing draws on life experience, memories and epiphanies wherever he happens to be. T.I. told AllHipHop that Dr. Dre also contributed music to Kill the King, adding another veteran producer to the record.

T.I. also reflected on the Gold certification when it first landed in April. "Humbled and want to express my gratitude to my family, my team, all the radio stations and DSPs supporting the record," he said, adding thanks to fans as well.

The certification lands as T.I. winds down more than two decades of recording. He is currently touring with his children, who are also musicians, even as Kill the King closes out a catalog that helped define Atlanta hip-hop.

AllHipHop did not report a release date for Kill the King or say whether more singles are planned before it arrives. The outlet framed the timing as notable because T.I. is not exiting quietly: between the touring and the new plaques, his final stretch reads more like a victory lap than a fade-out.
