Jimmy Kimmel christened his new Sony outdoor stage with hip-hop royalty. The King of the South, T.I., performed two songs on Tuesday’s show in the heart of Hollywood. He waved to the haters while delivering his new single “Hello,” produced by Pharrell.

Earlier in the week, he shot a video for the song with CeeLo Green.

“Basically we ridin’ off into the sunset,” Tip told Rap-Up. “We’re headed to where the winners gather and saying hello and goodbye at the same time to the losers.”

He returned for a second performance of “Ball,” which he dedicated to his friend and collaborator Weezy.

“We gon’ do this for my little partner, Lil Wayne,” said Tip.
