Despite the initial controversy, T.I., along with his sons King and Domani, eventually made an appearance at the event. The family seemed to put the incident behind them as they enjoyed the evening at Elleven45 Lounge.

Netizens back rapper T.I. stance

Fans took to social media to express their support for T.I.'s principled stand against the fraudulent use of his image. A user tweeted, "T.I is very Right, that's "Fraud Peddling". They were lucky he didn't Sue them."

"But he is right; if you want to use his image to generate buzz & money, they should pay him. People will pay to go because they believe he will be there, & everyone online will ruin his reputation for skipping an event he was not paid to be at," another said.
