Rapper T.I. will reportedly be freed from criminal confinement later this month, according to the Federal Bureau of Prison records.

Reports show the rapper being officially released in late March.

The rapper announced new single “I’m Back” through a promotional Twitter account, and his lawyer confirmed to MTV News on Thursday (March 4) that Tip will be released from prison later this month. Federal Bureau of Prison records list the rapper’s release date as March 26. “That date is correct,” lawyer Steve Sadow said via e-mail. “T.I. is now serving the remainder of his sentence in home confinement under the supervision of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.” (MTV)

He previously made his first televised appearance after lending his support to girlfriend Tiny during a fundraiser last month.

“I am very well, very happy to be seen,” said the Atlanta rapper-actor, who joined his fiancee Tameka “Tiny” Cottle on stage at the end of the “For The Love of Our Fathers” fundraiser for Alzheimer’s research. Before the T.I. surprise, the audience was treated to brief performances by classic R&B group The Tams (which includes Tiny’s father Charles Pope, and was led by her brother Little Redd); newcomers The OMG Girlz (which includes the daughters of both Tiny and Toya), QT Jazz and Lil Shun and New Nu (from T.I.’s Grand Hustle label); as well as established R&B singers Kandi, Jaheim and Pleasure P…T.I., on the other hand, wasn’t quite done. When Tiny walked out of the Midtown nightclub, there was a blue Porsche Panamera out front – topped with a red bow brighter than the recipient’s new hair. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
