On Monday, February 22 Atlanta rapper T.I. made his first public appearance since reporting to an Arkansas prison last year.

T.I. made an appearance at Atlanta’s Opera nightclub to show support for his fiancée Tameka Cottle’s “For the Love of Our Fathers” fundraiser. The fundraiser was held to raise money for Alzheimer’s research.

“I am very well, very happy to be seen,” said T.I. at the event, reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

The fundraiser will also mark T.I.’s first public television appearance since prison because the event was also taped for Cottle’s BET reality show Tiny & Toya.
